net: hns3: support dma_map_sg() for multi frags skb
Using the queue based tx buffer, it is also possible to allocate a sgl buffer, and use skb_to_sgvec() to convert the skb to the sgvec in order to support the dma_map_sg() to decreases the overhead of IOMMU mapping and unmapping. Firstly, it reduces the number of buffers. For example, a tcp skb may have a 66-byte header and 3 fragments of 4328, 32768, and 28064 bytes. With this patch, dma_map_sg() will combine them into two buffers, 66-bytes header and one 65160-bytes fragment by using IOMMU. Secondly, it reduces the number of dma mapping and unmapping. All the original 4 buffers are mapped only once rather than 4 times. The throughput improves above 10% when running single thread of iperf using TCP when IOMMU is in strict mode.
