From 6e19cf7d3815c009bfd213832a6feac4bafc37ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Lobakin Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 18:18:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: switch to napi_build_skb() napi_build_skb() reuses per-cpu NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new Rx or completed Tx. i40e driver runs Tx completion polling cycle right before the Rx one and uses napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed entries, so it's never empty and always warm at that moment. Switch to the napi_build_skb() to relax mm pressure on heavy Rx.
