Xiaoyan Li 593ef60c74 net-zerocopy: Reduce compound page head access
When compound pages are enabled, although the mm layer still
returns an array of page pointers, a subset (or all) of them
may have the same page head since a max 180kb skb can span 2
hugepages if it is on the boundary, be a mix of pages and 1 hugepage,
or fit completely in a hugepage. Instead of referencing page head
on all page pointers, use page length arithmetic to only call page
head when referencing a known different page head to avoid touching
a cold cacheline.

Tested:
See next patch with changes to tcp_mmap

Correntess:
On a pair of separate hosts as send with MSG_ZEROCOPY will
force a copy on tx if using loopback alone, check that the SHA
on the message sent is equivalent to checksum on the message received,
since the current program already checks for the length.

echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
./tcp_mmap -s -z
./tcp_mmap -H $DADDR -z

SHA256 is correct
received 2 MB (100 % mmap'ed) in 0.005914 s, 2.83686 Gbit
  cpu usage user:0.001984 sys:0.000963, 1473.5 usec per MB, 10 c-switches

Performance:
Run neper between adjacent hosts with the same config
tcp_stream -Z --skip-rx-copy -6 -T 20 -F 1000 --stime-use-proc --test-length=30

After patch: stime_end=30.310000

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 Restructured Text 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.
