Michael Chan accd7e2369 bnxt_en: Avoid order-5 memory allocation for TPA data
The driver needs to keep track of all the possible concurrent TPA (GRO/LRO)
completions on the aggregation ring.  On P5 chips, the maximum number
of concurrent TPA is 256 and the amount of memory we allocate is order-5
on systems using 4K pages.  Memory allocation failure has been reported:

NetworkManager: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x40dc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1
CPU: 15 PID: 2995 Comm: NetworkManager Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.10.156 #1
Hardware name: Dell Inc. PowerEdge R660/0M1CC5, BIOS 0.2.25 08/12/2022

Instead of allocating this big chunk of memory and dividing it up for the
concurrent TPA instances, allocate each small chunk separately for each
TPA instance.  This will reduce it to order-0 allocations.

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.
