Subject: [net-next PATCH 00/11] net: mitigating kmem_cache slowpath and BoF
discussion patches
This patchset is relevant for my NetDev 1.1 "Network Performance BoF" [1].
The first 4 patches, is a repost[2], for the first real use-case of
kmem_cache bulk alloc and free API. They were adjusted slightly to
accomodate my last slab API changes. They should be ready for
inclusion in net-next, as the needed MM tree are avail in net-next.
Patch 5 is also enabling the SKB bulk API for mlx5.
Thus, patches 1-5 should be ready for net-next.
After patch 5, the experimental patches begin, which is Prove-of-Concept
code for what we will be discussing during the Network Performance BoF [1]

Jesper Dangaard Brouer (11):
net: bulk free infrastructure for NAPI context, use napi_consume_skb
net: bulk free SKBs that were delay free'ed due to IRQ context
ixgbe: bulk free SKBs during TX completion cleanup cycle
net: bulk alloc and reuse of SKBs in NAPI context
mlx5: use napi_*_skb APIs to get bulk alloc and free
mlx5: RX bulking or bundling of packets before calling network stack
net: introduce napi_alloc_skb_bulk() for more use-cases
mlx5: hint the NAPI alloc skb API about the expected bulk size
EXPERIMENT: dummy: bulk free
net: API for RX handover of multiple SKBs to stack
net: RPS bulk enqueue to backlog
