In order to use the new xsk batched buffer allocation interface, a pointer to an array of struct xsk_buff pointers need to be provided so that the function can put the result of the allocation there. In the ice driver, we already have a ring that stores pointers to xdp_buffs. This is only used for the xsk zero-copy driver and is a union with the structure that is used for the regular non zero-copy path. Unfortunately, that structure is larger than the xdp_buffs pointers which mean that there will be a stride (of 20 bytes) between each xdp_buff pointer. And feeding this into the xsk_buff_alloc_batch interface will not work since it assumes a regular array of xdp_buff pointers (each 8 bytes with 0 bytes in-between them on a 64-bit system). To fix this, remove the xdp_buff pointer from the rx_buf union and move it one step higher to the union above which only has pointers to arrays in it. This solves the problem and we can directly feed the SW ring of xdp_buff pointers straight into the allocation function in the next patch when that interface is used. This will improve performance.

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.
