Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] net: use NAPI_SKB_CACHE_FREE to keep 32 as default to do bulk free
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:06:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118070646.61344-4-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118070646.61344-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

- Replace NAPI_SKB_CACHE_HALF with NAPI_SKB_CACHE_FREE
- Only free 32 skbs in napi_skb_cache_put()

Since the first patch adjusting NAPI_SKB_CACHE_SIZE to 128, the number
of packets to be freed in the softirq was increased from 32 to 64.
Considering a subsequent net_rx_action() calling napi_poll() a few
times can easily consume the 64 available slots and we can afford
keeping a higher value of sk_buffs in per-cpu storage, decrease
NAPI_SKB_CACHE_FREE to 32 like before. So now the logic is 1) keeping
96 skbs, 2) freeing 32 skbs at one time.
