Subject: [PATCH net-next v10 0/4] GVE Raw Addressing

Patchset description:
This  patchset introduces "raw addressing" mode to the GVE driver.
Previously (in "queue_page_list" or "qpl" mode), the driver would
pre-allocate and dma_map buffers to be used on egress and ingress.
On egress, it would copy data from the skb provided to the
pre-allocated buffers - this was expensive.
In raw addressing mode, the driver can avoid this copy and simply
dma_map the skb's data so that the NIC can use it.
On ingress, the driver passes buffers up to the networking stack and
then frees and reallocates buffers when necessary instead of using
skb_copy_to_linear_data.
Patch 3 separates the page refcount tracking mechanism
into a function gve_rx_can_recycle_buffer which uses get_page - this will
be changed in a future patch to eliminate the use of get_page in tracking
page refcounts.

Changes from v9:
  Patch 4: Use u64, not u32 for new tx stat counters.

Catherine Sullivan (3):
  gve: Add support for raw addressing device option
  gve: Add support for raw addressing to the rx path
  gve: Add support for raw addressing in the tx path

David Awogbemila (1):
  gve: Rx Buffer Recycling
