Pull request with netdev only patches that add support for per queue configuration and large rx buffers for memory providers. The zcrx patch using it is separately and can be found at [2]. Large buffers yielded significant benefits during testing, e.g. a setup with 32KB buffers was using 30% less CPU than with 4K, see [3] for more details. Per queue configuration series: [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250421222827.283737-1-kuba@kernel.org/ (local) Branch with the zcrx patch [2] https://github.com/isilence/linux.git zcrx/large-buffers-v3 v2 of the series [3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1754657711.git.asml.silence@gmail.com/ (local) --- v3: - rebased, excluded zcrx specific patches - set agg_size_fac to 1 on warning v2: - Add MAX_PAGE_ORDER check on pp init (Patch 1) - Applied comments rewording (Patch 2) - Adjust pp.max_len based on order (Patch 8) - Patch up mlx5 queue callbacks after rebase (Patch 12) - Minor ->queue_mgmt_ops refactoring (Patch 15) - Rebased to account for both fill level and agg_size_fac (Patch 17) - Pass providers buf length in struct pp_memory_provider_params and apply it in __netdev_queue_confi(). (Patch 22) - Use ->supported_ring_params to validate drivers support of set qcfg parameters. (Patch 23) The following changes since commit c17b750b3ad9f45f2b6f7e6f7f4679844244f0b9: Linux 6.17-rc2 (2025-08-17 15:22:10 -0700) are available in the Git repository at:
