Typical NAPI drivers use napi_consume_skb(skb) at TX completion time. This put skb in a percpu special queue, napi_alloc_cache, to get bulk frees. It turns out the queue is not flushed and hits the NAPI_SKB_CACHE_SIZE limit quite often, with skbs that were queued hundreds of usec earlier. I measured this can take ~6000 nsec to perform one flush. __kfree_skb_flush() can be called from two points right now : 1) From net_tx_action(), but only for skbs that were queued to sd->completion_queue. -> Irrelevant for NAPI drivers in normal operation. 2) From net_rx_action(), but only under high stress or if RPS/RFS has a pending action. This patch changes net_rx_action() to perform the flush in all cases and after more urgent operations happened (like kicking remote CPUS for RPS/RFS).
