The mlx5 driver already have a driver local page recycle cache. This
page cache is only efficient when the number of outstanding pages is
small, the queue based cache array size is 128. Further more a single
page with elevated refcnt can block the queue.
Benchmarking on next-next at commit f5f99309fa74 ("sock: do not set
sk_err in sock_dequeue_err_skb"), which include Paolo's UDP
performance optimizations (commit fc13fd398625 ("Merge branch
'udp-fwd-mem-sched-on-dequeue'"). Showed a speedup of 29% for UDP
packets. Detailed ethtool stats showed mlx5 page recycler didn't
"work" in that benchmark. The XDP_DROP use-case, showed a small perf
regression +2.7ns using page_pool. This correspons well to the 28%
gain reported in commit 1bfecfca565c ("net/mlx5e: Build RX SKB on
demand").
UPDATE: On newer kernels, net-next at commit 52f40e9d65. The mlx5 page
recycle cache works again, and performance gain is gone. Detailed
benchmarking show, RX-ksoftirq side is approx 10% faster, while UDP
socket delivery is same performance.
For TC early ingress drop there is a small performance regression of
approx +4 ns. There are pending page_pool optimization that will
close that gap.
