The hardware supports up to 8 TX BD for non-tso skb and up to 63 TX BD for TSO skb. Currently, the hns3 driver supports RX skb with fraglist when HW GRO is enabled, when the stack forwards a RX skb with fraglist, the stack need to linearize the skb before sending to other interface without TX fraglist support. This patch adds support for TX fraglist. The performance increases from 1 GByte to 1.5 GByte for one iperf TCP stream during forwarding test after this patch. BTW, the minimum BD number of ring should be updated to 72 for supporting TX fraglist. This patch also changes the error handling of some function that called by hns3_fill_desc, which returns BD num when there is no error, change some macro to more meaningful name.

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.
