> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-next] ice: implement configurable 
> header split for regular Rx
> 
> Add second page_pool for header buffers to each Rx queue and ability to 
> toggle the header split on/off using Ethtool (default to off to match the 
> current behaviour).
> Unlike idpf, all HW backed up by ice doesn't require any W/As and correctly 
> splits all types of packets as configured: after L4 headers for TCP/UDP/SCTP, 
> after L3 headers for other IPv4/IPv6 frames, after the Ethernet header 
> otherwise (in case of tunneling, same as above, but after innermost headers).
> This doesn't affect the XSk path as there are no benefits of having it there.

> Applies on top of Tony's next-queue, depends on MichaƂ's Page Pool conversion

> Testing hints: traffic testing with and without header split enabled.
> The header split can be turned on/off using Ethtool:
> 
> sudo ethtool -G <iface> tcp-data-split on (or off)
