Reading the code it looks like this change actually addresses a regression introduced by the blamed commit, is that correct? If so please re-phrase the commit message accordingly. Thanks, Paolo

When XDP is not enabled, the page which holds the received buffer will be recycled once the buffer is copied into SKB by skb_copy_to_linear_data(), then the MAC core will never reuse this page any longer. Set PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV wastes CPU cycles. This patch brings up to 9% noticeable performance improvement on certain platforms.
