>
> napi_build_skb() reuses per-cpu NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some
> cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new Rx or completed Tx.
> ice driver runs Tx completion polling cycle right before the Rx one and uses
> napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed entries,
> so it's never empty and always warm at that moment. Switch to the
> napi_build_skb() to relax mm pressure on heavy Rx.
