From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Use the new recycling API for page_pool. In a drop rate test, the packet rate increased di 10%, from 269 Kpps to 296 Kpps. perf top on a stock system shows: Overhead Shared Object Symbol 21.78% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area 21.66% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm 7.00% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc 6.05% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans 4.44% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free.part.0 3.80% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 3.68% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive 3.65% [kernel] [k] get_page_from_freelist 3.43% [kernel] [k] page_pool_release_page 3.35% [kernel] [k] free_unref_page And this is the same output with recycling enabled: Overhead Shared Object Symbol 24.10% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area 23.02% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm 7.19% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc 6.50% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans 4.93% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 4.77% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free.part.0 3.93% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive 3.03% [kernel] [k] build_skb 2.91% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page 2.85% [kernel] [k] __xdp_return The test was done with mausezahn on the TX side with 64 byte raw ethernet frames.
