From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Use the new recycling API for page_pool. In a drop rate test, the packet rate increased by 10%, from 296 Kpps to 326 Kpps. perf top on a stock system shows: Overhead Shared Object Symbol 23.66% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area 22.85% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm 7.54% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc 6.49% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans 3.94% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive 3.91% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 3.91% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free 3.76% [kernel] [k] page_pool_release_page 3.56% [kernel] [k] free_unref_page 2.40% [kernel] [k] build_skb 1.49% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data 1.45% [kernel] [k] __alloc_pages_bulk 1.30% [kernel] [k] page_frag_free And this is the same output with recycling enabled: Overhead Shared Object Symbol 26.41% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area 25.00% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm 8.14% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc 6.84% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans 4.44% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 4.38% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free 4.16% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive 3.21% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page 2.41% [kernel] [k] build_skb 1.82% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data 1.61% [kernel] [k] napi_gro_receive 1.25% [kernel] [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache 1.16% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_list_core We can see that page_pool_release_page(), free_unref_page() and __alloc_pages_bulk() are no longer on top of the list when receiving traffic. The test was done with mausezahn on the TX side with 64 byte raw ethernet frames.
