This patch enhances RX buffer handling in the mana driver by allocating
pages from a page pool and slicing them into MTU-sized fragments, rather
than dedicating a full page per packet. This approach is especially
beneficial on systems with large base page sizes like 64KB.
Key improvements:
- Proper integration of page pool for RX buffer allocations.
- MTU-sized buffer slicing to improve memory utilization.
- Reduce overall per Rx queue memory footprint.
- Automatic fallback to full-page buffers when:
* Jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > PAGE_SIZE / 2).
* The XDP path is active, to avoid complexities with fragment reuse.
Testing on VMs with 64KB pages shows around 200% throughput improvement.
Memory efficiency is significantly improved due to reduced wastage in page
allocations. Example: We are now able to fit 35 rx buffers in a single 64kb
page for MTU size of 1500, instead of 1 rx buffer per page previously.
Tested:
- iperf3, iperf2, and nttcp benchmarks.
- Jumbo frames with MTU 9000.
- Native XDP programs (XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP, XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT) for
testing the XDP path in driver.
- Memory leak detection (kmemleak).
- Driver load/unload, reboot, and stress scenarios.

Set metadata size building the skb from xdp_buff in mana driver.
mana driver sets xdp headroom to XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM so the headroom is
large enough to contain xdp_frame and xdp metadata.
Please note this patch is just compiled tested.

During probe, get the hardware-allowed max MTU by querying the device
configuration. Users can select MTU up to the device limit.
When XDP is in use, limit MTU settings so the buffer size is within
one page. And, when MTU is set to a too large value, XDP is not allowed
to run.
Also, to prevent changing MTU fails, and leaves the NIC in a bad state,
pre-allocate all buffers before starting the change. So in low memory
condition, it will return error, without affecting the NIC.

Add a handler of the XDP_REDIRECT return code from a XDP program. The
packets will be flushed at the end of each RX/CQ NAPI poll cycle.
ndo_xdp_xmit() is implemented by sharing the code in mana_xdp_tx().
Ethtool per queue counters are added for XDP redirect and xmit operations.

In non trivial scenarios, the action id alone is not sufficient to
identify the program causing the warning. Before the previous patch,
the generated stack-trace pointed out at least the involved device
driver.
Let's additionally include the program name and id, and the relevant
device name.
If the user needs additional infos, he can fetch them via a kernel
probe, leveraging the arguments added here.
