Merge branch 'mlxsw-use-page-pool-for-rx-buffers-allocation'
Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Use page pool for Rx buffers allocation Amit Cohen writes: After using NAPI to process events from hardware, the next step is to use page pool for Rx buffers allocation, which is also enhances performance. To simplify this change, first use page pool to allocate one continuous buffer for each packet, later memory consumption can be improved by using fragmented buffers. This set significantly enhances mlxsw driver performance, CPU can handle about 370% of the packets per second it previously handled. The next planned improvement is using XDP to optimize telemetry. Patch set overview: Patches #1-#2 are small preparations for page pool usage Patch #3 initializes page pool, but do not use it Patch #4 converts the driver to use page pool for buffers allocations Patch #5 is an optimization for buffer access Patch #6 cleans up an unused structure Patch #7 uses napi_consume_skb() as part of Tx completion ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <[email protected]>
