Merge branch 'netdev_page_frags'
Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Refactor netdev page frags and move them into mm/ This patch series addresses several things. First I found an issue in the performance of the pfmemalloc check from build_skb. To work around it I have provided a cached copy of pfmemalloc to be used in __netdev_alloc_skb and __napi_alloc_skb. Second I moved the page fragment allocation logic into the mm tree and added functionality for freeing page fragments. I had to fix igb before I could do this as it was using a reference to NETDEV_FRAG_PAGE_MAX_SIZE incorrectly. Finally I went through and replaced all of the duplicate code that was calling put_page and replaced it with calls to skb_free_frag. With these changes in place a simple receive and drop test increased from a packet rate of 8.9Mpps to 9.8Mpps. The gains breakdown as follows: 8.9Mpps Before 9.8Mpps After ------------------------ ------------------------ 7.8% put_compound_page 9.1% __free_page_frag 3.9% skb_free_head 1.1% put_page 4.9% build_skb 3.8% __napi_alloc_skb 2.5% __alloc_rx_skb 1.9% __napi_alloc_skb ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
