This patch switch to use build_skb() for small buffer which can have
better performance for both TCP and XDP (since we can work at page
before skb creation). It also remove lots of XDP codes since both
mergeable and small buffer use page frag during refill now.

Thanks!
I had a similar patch for mergeable too, though it's trickier there
as host has a lot of flexibility in sizing buffers.
Looks like a good intermediate step to me.
Yes, I think it's more tricky for the case of mergeable buffer:
1) we need reserve NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN for each buffer, this will
break rx frag coalescing
2) need tailroom for skb_shinfo, so it won't work for all size of packet
Thanks
Have you seen my prototype?
Not yet, please give me a pointer.
It works with qemu in practice,
just needs to cover a bunch of corner cases.
Sounds good, if you wish I can help to finalize it.
Thanks

Great! Here it is I think it's on top of 4.9 or so. Issues to address:
- when ring is very small this might cause us not to
be able to fit even a single packet in the whole queue.
Limit logic to when ring is big enough?
- If e.g. header is split across many buffers, this won't work
correctly. Detect and copy?
Could be more issues that I forgot. It might be a good idea to
first finish my buffer ctx hack. Will simplify the logic.

virtio_net: switch to build_skb for mrg_rxbuf
For small packets data copy was observed to
take up about 15% CPU time. Switch to build_skb
and avoid the copy when using mergeable rx buffers.
As a bonus, medium-size skbs that fit in a page will be
completely linear.
Of course, we now need to lower the lower bound on packet size,
to make sure a sane number of skbs fits in rx socket buffer.
By how much? I don't know yet.
It might also be useful to prefetch the packet buffer since
net stack will likely use it soon.
TODO: it appears that Linux won't handle correctly the case of first
buffer being very small (or consisting exclusively of virtio header).
This is already the case for current code, so don't bother
testing yet.
TODO: might be unfair to the last packet in a fragment as we include
remaining space if any in its truesize.

Rx frag coalescing won't work any more and we will end up with more
