Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 08/12] net: ethernet: cortina: Rotate free queue page allocation
Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2026 18:24:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002-gemini-ethernet-fixes-3-v3-8-3e1f25890ae8@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002-gemini-ethernet-fixes-3-v3-0-3e1f25890ae8@kernel.org>
The free queue metadata bitmap currently searches for a free slot from
zero for every page allocation. Under sustained traffic this repeatedly
scans occupied low-numbered slots.
Remember the position after the most recently allocated slot and wrap the
bitmap search at its end. This keeps allocation cost distributed across
the metadata table.
Fixes: 4d5ae32f5e1e ("net: ethernet: Add a driver for Gemini gigabit ethernet")
Assisted-by: LLM
