what made you respond to a patch from May, now?

I want to apply page_pool to our virtio_net. This virtio_net works on
our device.

I want to verify whether page_pool on virtio_net with our device can
improve the performance or not.

And I found that ethtool is wrong.

I use virtio_net on our device. I found that page member variable in
rq is not used in recv path.

When virtio_net is modprobe, I checked page member variable in rq with
kprobe or crash tool.  page member variable in rq is always NULL.

But sg in recv path is used.

So how to use page member variable in rq? If page member variable in
rq is always NULL, can we remove it?

BTW, I use ping and iperf tool to make tests with virtio_net. In the
tests, page member variable in rq is always NULL.

And I replaced page member variable in rq with page_pool, but the
statistics of page_pool are always 0.

It is interesting that page_pool member variable in rq is not used in
ping and iperf tests.

I am not sure what tests can make page member variable not NULL. ^_^

Do you mean rq->pages?

That is for big mode.

Thanks.
