[PATCH RFC net-next/mm V1 1/3] page_pool: Remove workqueue in new shutdown scheme

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This removes the workqueue scheme that periodically tests when
inflight reach zero such that page_pool memory can be freed.

This change adds code to fast-path free checking for a shutdown flags
bit after returning PP pages.

Performance is very important for PP, as the fast path is used for
XDP_DROP use-cases where NIC drivers recycle PP pages directly into PP
alloc cache.

The goal were that this code change should have zero impact on this
fast-path. The slight code reorg of likely() are deliberate. Micro
benchmarking done via kernel module[1] on x86_64, shows this code
change only cost a single instruction extra (approx 0.3 nanosec on CPU
E5-1650 @3.60GHz).

It is possible to make this code zero impact via static_key, but that
change is split out into the next patch, as we are unsure if it is
worth the complexity.
