> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [RFC PATCHv2 1/1] idpf: Fix header clobber
> in IDPF with SWIOTLB enabled
> 
> When SWIOTLB and header split are enabled, IDPF sees empty packets in
> the rx queue.
> 
> This is caused by libeth_rx_sync_for_cpu clobbering the synthesized
> header in the workaround (i.e. overflow) path. After the header is
> synthesized by idpf_rx_hsplit_wa, the sync call pulls from the empty
> SWIOTLB buffer, effectively zeroing out the buffer.
> 
> This skips the extra sync in the workaround path in most cases. The
> one exception is that it calls sync to trigger a recycle the header
> buffer when it fails to find a header in the payload.
> 
> Fixes: 90912f9f4f2d1 ("idpf: convert header split mode to libeth +
> napi_build_skb()")

Just a nit - please add space before */
