Subject: [PATCH V2 net-next 00/12] Improving performance and reducing latencies, by using latest capabilities exposed in ENA device

From: Arthur Kiyanovski <akiyano@...zon.com>

This patchset introduces the following:
1. A new placement policy of Tx headers and descriptors, which takes
advantage of an option to place headers + descriptors in device memory
space. This is sometimes referred to as LLQ - low latency queue.
The patch set defines the admin capability, maps the device memory as
write-combined, and adds a mode in transmit datapath to do header +
descriptor placement on the device.
2. Support for RX checksum offloading
3. Miscelaneous small improvements and code cleanups

Note: V1 of this patchset was created as if patches e2a322a 248ab77
from net were applied to net-next before applying the patchset. This V2 
version does not assume this, and should be applyed directly on net-next
without the aformentioned patches.

Arthur Kiyanovski (12):
  net: ena: minor performance improvement
  net: ena: complete host info to match latest ENA spec
  net: ena: introduce Low Latency Queues data structures according to
    ENA spec
  net: ena: add functions for handling Low Latency Queues in ena_com
  net: ena: add functions for handling Low Latency Queues in ena_netdev
  net: ena: use CSUM_CHECKED device indication to report skb's checksum
    status
  net: ena: explicit casting and initialization, and clearer error
    handling
  net: ena: limit refill Rx threshold to 256 to avoid latency issues
  net: ena: change rx copybreak default to reduce kernel memory pressure
  net: ena: remove redundant parameter in ena_com_admin_init()
  net: ena: update driver version to 2.0.1
  net: ena: fix indentations in ena_defs for better readability
