Vladimir Oltean d504498d2e net: enetc: add a dedicated is_eof bit in the TX software BD
In the transmit path, if we have a scatter/gather frame, it is put into
multiple software buffer descriptors, the last of which has the skb
pointer populated (which is necessary for rearming the TX MSI vector and
for collecting the two-step TX timestamp from the TX confirmation path).

At the moment, this is sufficient, but with XDP_TX, we'll need to
service TX software buffer descriptors that don't have an skb pointer,
however they might be final nonetheless. So add a dedicated bit for
final software BDs that we populate and check explicitly. Also, we keep
looking just for an skb when doing TX timestamping, because we don't
want/need that for XDP.

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.
