    igb: update code to better handle incrementing page count · bd4171a5
    Alexander Duyck authored
    Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference
    count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time.  The
    advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and
    this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet.
    In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains
    will be more noticeable.
