Per page request event, FW request to allocated or release pages for a single function. Driver maintains FW pages object per function, so there is no need to hold one global page data-base. Instead, have a page data-base per function, which will improve performance release flow in all cases, especially for "release all pages". As the range of function IDs is large and not sequential, use xarray to store a per function ID page data-base, where the function ID is the key. Upon first allocation of a page to a function ID, create the page data-base per function. This data-base will be released only at pagealloc mechanism cleanup. NIC: ConnectX-4 Lx CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz Test case: 32 VFs, measure release pages on one VF as part of FLR Before: 0.021 Sec After: 0.014 Sec The improvement depends on amount of VFs and memory utilization by them. Time measurements above were taken from idle system. Signed-off-by:
