With page pool enabled, you are right that order 0 pages is enough, and I am not sure about the exact reason we use the some order as the ping-pong way of page splitting now. As 2048 bytes buf size seems to be the default one, and I has not heard any one changing it. Also, it caculates the pool_size using something as below, so the memory usage is almost the same for order 0 and order 1: .pool_size = ring->desc_num * hns3_buf_size(ring) / (PAGE_SIZE << hns3_page_order(ring)), I am not sure it worth changing it, maybe just change it to set good example for the users:) anyway I need to discuss this with other colleague internally and do some testing before doing the change. > . >
