Introduce multi-buffer support for xdp running in generic mode not always linearizing the skb in netif_receive_generic_xdp routine. Introduce page_pool in softnet_data structure Changes since v5: - move percpu page_pool pointer out of softnet_data in a dedicated variable - make page_pool stats available just for global pools - rely on netif_skb_segment_for_xdp utility routine in veth driver Changes since v4: - fix compilation error if page_pools are not enabled Changes since v3: - introduce page_pool in softnet_data structure - rely on page_pools for xdp_generic code Changes since v2: - rely on napi_alloc_frag() and napi_build_skb() to build the new skb Changes since v1: - explicitly keep the skb segmented in netif_skb_check_for_generic_xdp() and do not rely on pskb_expand_head() Lorenzo Bianconi (5): net: add generic per-cpu page_pool allocator xdp: rely on skb pointer reference in do_xdp_generic and netif_receive_generic_xdp xdp: add multi-buff support for xdp running in generic mode net: page_pool: make stats available just for global pools veth: rely on netif_skb_segment_for_xdp utility routine drivers/net/tun.c | 4 +- drivers/net/veth.c | 79 +------------ include/linux/netdevice.h | 6 +- include/net/page_pool/types.h | 3 + net/core/dev.c | 208 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- net/core/page_pool.c | 59 +++++++--- net/core/skbuff.c | 5 +- 7 files changed, 241 insertions(+), 123 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0
