    virtio-net: page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom · fb32856b
    Xuan Zhuo authored
    In page_to_skb(), if we have enough tailroom to save skb_shared_info, we
    can use build_skb to create skb directly. No need to alloc for
    additional space. And it can save a 'frags slot', which is very friendly
    to GRO.
    
    Here, if the payload of the received package is too small (less than
    GOOD_COPY_LEN), we still choose to copy it directly to the space got by
    napi_alloc_skb. So we can reuse these pages.
    
    Testing Machine:
        The four queues of the network card are bound to the cpu1.
    
    Test command:
        for ((i=0;i<5;++i)); do sockperf tp --ip 192.168.122.64 -m 1000 -t 150& done
    
    The size of the udp package is 1000, so in the case of this patch, there
    will always be enough tailroom to use build_skb. The sent udp packet
    will be discarded because there is no port to receive it. The irqsoftd
    of the machine is 100%, we observe the received quantity displayed by
    sar -n DEV 1:
    
    no build_skb:  956864.00 rxpck/s
    build_skb:    1158465.00 rxpck/s
