Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== eth: mlx4: use the page pool for Rx buffers Convert mlx4 to page pool. I've been sitting on these patches for over a year, and Jonathan Lemon had a similar series years before. We never deployed it or sent upstream because it didn't really show much perf win under normal load (admittedly I think the real testing was done before Ilias's work on recycling). During the v6.9 kernel rollout Meta's CDN team noticed that machines with CX3 Pro (mlx4) are prone to overloads (double digit % of CPU time spent mapping buffers in the IOMMU). The problem does not occur with modern NICs, so I dusted off this series and reportedly it still works. And it makes the problem go away, no overloads, perf back in line with older kernels. Something must have changed in IOMMU code, I guess. This series is very simple, and can very likely be optimized further. Thing is, I don't have access to any CX3 Pro NICs. They only exist in CDN locations which haven't had a HW refresh for a while. So I can say this series survives a week under traffic w/ XDP enabled, but my ability to iterate and improve is a bit limited. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20250211192141.619024-1-kuba@kernel.org v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250205031213.358973-1-kuba@kernel.org ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250213010635.1354034-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
