Ioana Ciornei says:

====================
dpaa2-eth: send a scatter-gather FD instead of realloc-ing

This patch set changes the behaviour in case the Tx path is confroted
with an SKB with insufficient headroom for our hardware necessities (SW
annotation area). In the first patch, instead of realloc-ing the SKB we
now send a S/G frames descriptor while the second one adds a new
software held counter to account for for these types of frames.
====================

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
