Subject: [RFC 1/2] net-next: add a dma_desc element to struct skb_shared_info

From: John Crispin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 17:20:34 +0200

In order to make HW flow offloading work in latest MediaTek silicon we need
to propagate part of the RX DMS descriptor to the upper layers populating
the flow offload engines HW tables. This patch adds an extra element to
struct skb_shared_info allowing the ethernet drivers RX napi code to store
the required information and make it persistent for the lifecycle of the
skb and its clones.
