From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Alexander Lobakin Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 18:18:39 +0100 Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next 8/9] ixgbe: switch to napi_build_skb() In-Reply-To: <20211123171840.157471-1-alexandr.lobakin@intel.com> References: <20211123171840.157471-1-alexandr.lobakin@intel.com> Message-ID: <20211123171840.157471-9-alexandr.lobakin@intel.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: intel-wired-lan@osuosl.org List-ID: napi_build_skb() reuses per-cpu NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new Rx or completed Tx. ixgbe driver runs Tx completion polling cycle right before the Rx one and uses napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed entries, so it's never empty and always warm at that moment. Switch to the napi_build_skb() to relax mm pressure on heavy Rx.
