[PATCH net-next v10 03/15] mm: page_frag: use initial zero offset for page_frag_alloc_align()

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

 



We are about to use page_frag_alloc_*() API to not just
allocate memory for skb->data, but also use them to do
the memory allocation for skb frag too. Currently the
implementation of page_frag in mm subsystem is running
the offset as a countdown rather than count-up value,
there may have several advantages to that as mentioned
in [1], but it may have some disadvantages, for example,
it may disable skb frag coaleasing and more correct cache
prefetching

We have a trade-off to make in order to have a unified
implementation and API for page_frag, so use a initial zero
offset in this patch, and the following patch will try to
make some optimization to avoid the disadvantages as much
as possible.

Rename 'offset' to 'remaining' to retain the 'countdown'
behavior as 'remaining countdown' instead of 'offset
countdown'. Also, Renaming enable us to do a single
'fragsz > remaining' checking for the case of cache not
being enough, which should be the fast path if we ensure
'remaining' is zero when 'va' == NULL by memset'ing
'struct page_frag_cache' in page_frag_cache_init() and
page_frag_cache_drain().
