After replacing the page_pool_release_page with the skb_mark_for_recycle, I found something confused me a little in the testing result.
I tested with the sample app of "xdpsock" under two modes: 1. Native (xdpsock -i eth0). 2. Skb-mode (xdpsock -S -i eth0).
The following are the testing result:
With page_pool_release_page (pps) With skb_mark_for_recycle (pps)
SKB-Mode 90K 200K
Native 190K 190K
The skb_mark_for_recycle solution boosted the performance of SKB-Mode to 200K+ PPS. That is even higher than the
performance of Native solution. Is this result reasonable? Do you have any clue why the SKB-Mode performance can
go higher than that of Native one?
Thanks,
Shenwei
