The i40e NIC supports two flavors of HW descriptors, 16 and 32 byte. The latter has, obviously, room for more offloading information. However, the only fields of the 32B HW descriptor that is being used by the driver, is also available in the 16B descriptor. In other words; Reading and writing 32 bytes instead of 16 byte is a waste of bus bandwidth. This commit starts using 16 byte descriptors instead of 32 byte descriptors. For AF_XDP the rx_drop benchmark was improved by 2%.
