Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/3] net: devmem: batch net_iov allocations into the page_pool cache
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 08:45:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911154555.739041-4-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911154555.739041-1-sdf@fomichev.me>
Rename net_devmem_alloc_dmabuf() into net_devmem_alloc_dmabuf_bulk() and
make it refill page pool with up to PP_ALLOC_CACHE_REFILL NIOVs,
similar to io_pp_zc_alloc_netmems(). That should amortize recently
introduced freelist_lock.
