Hi, Jason Could you skip this patch?I'm fine with either merging or dropping this.quoted
Let we review other patches firstly?I will be on vacation soon, and won't have time to do this until next week.Have a happly vacation.quoted
But I spot two possible "issues": 1) the DMA metadata were stored in the headroom of the page, this breaks frags coalescing, we need to benchmark it's impactNot every page, just the first page of the COMP pages. So I think there is no impact.Nope, see this: if (SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER && !static_branch_unlikely(&net_high_order_alloc_disable_key)) { /* Avoid direct reclaim but allow kswapd to wake */ pfrag->page = alloc_pages((gfp & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) | __GFP_COMP | __GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_NORETRY, SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER); if (likely(pfrag->page)) { pfrag->size = PAGE_SIZE << SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER; return true; } } The comp page might be disabled due to the SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER and net_high_order_alloc_disable_key.YES. But if comp page is disabled. Then we only get one page each time. The pages are not contiguous, so we don't have frags coalescing. If you mean the two pages got from alloc_page may be contiguous. The coalescing may then be broken. It's a possibility, but I think the impact will be small.Let's have a simple benchmark and see?That is ok. I think you want to know the perf num with big traffic and the comp page disabled.
Yes. Thanks

2) pre mapped DMA addresses were not reused in the case of XDP_TX/XDP_REDIRECTBecause that the tx is not the premapped mode.Yes, we can optimize this on top. Thanksquoted
Thanks.quoted
I see Michael has merge this series so I'm fine to let it go first. Thanksquoted
Thanks.
