Subject: [PATCH net-next] avoid fragmenting page memory with netdev_alloc_cache
From: Todd Sabin <tsabin@...are.com>
Linux network stack uses an allocation page cache for skbs. The
purpose is to reduce the number of page allocations that it needs to
make, and it works by allocating a group of pages, and then
sub-allocating skb memory from them. When all skbs referencing the
shared pages are freed, then the block of pages is finally freed.
When these skbs are all freed close together in time, this works fine.
However, what can happen is that there are multiple nics (or multiple
rx-queues in a single nic), and the skbs are allocated to fill the rx
ring(s). If some nics or queues are far more active than others, the
entries in the less busy nic/queue may end up referencing a page
block, while all of the other packets that referenced that block of
pages are freed.
The result of this is that the memory used by an appliance for its rx
rings can slowly grow to be much greater than it was originally.
This patch fixes that by giving each vmxnet3 device a per-rx-queue page
cache.
