By profiling, discovered that ena device driver allocates skb by build_skb() and frees by napi_skb_cache_put(). Because the driver does not use napi skb cache in allocation path, napi skb cache is periodically filled and flushed. This is waste of napi skb cache. As ena_alloc_skb() is called only in napi, Use napi_build_skb() and napi_alloc_skb() when allocating skb. This patch was tested on aws a1.metal instance.

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.
