mvneta: recycle buffers
Use the new recycling API for page_pool.
In a drop rate test, the packet rate increased by 10%,
from 296 Kpps to 326 Kpps.
perf top on a stock system shows:
Overhead Shared Object Symbol
23.66% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area
22.85% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm
7.54% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc
6.49% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans
3.94% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive
3.91% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
3.91% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free
3.76% [kernel] [k] page_pool_release_page
3.56% [kernel] [k] free_unref_page
2.40% [kernel] [k] build_skb
1.49% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data
1.45% [kernel] [k] __alloc_pages_bulk
1.30% [kernel] [k] page_frag_free
And this is the same output with recycling enabled:
Overhead Shared Object Symbol
26.41% [kernel] [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area
25.00% [mvneta] [k] mvneta_rx_swbm
8.14% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc
6.84% [kernel] [k] eth_type_trans
4.44% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
4.38% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_free
4.16% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive
3.21% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page
2.41% [kernel] [k] build_skb
1.82% [kernel] [k] skb_release_data
1.61% [kernel] [k] napi_gro_receive
1.25% [kernel] [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache
1.16% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_list_core
We can see that page_pool_release_page(), free_unref_page() and
__alloc_pages_bulk() are no longer on top of the list when receiving
traffic.
The test was done with mausezahn on the TX side with 64 byte raw
ethernet frames.
