Merge branch 'mlx4-order-0-allocations-and-page-recycling'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== mlx4: order-0 allocations and page recycling As mentioned half a year ago, we better switch mlx4 driver to order-0 allocations and page recycling. This reduces vulnerability surface thanks to better skb->truesize tracking and provides better performance in most cases. (33 Gbit for one TCP flow on my lab hosts) I will provide for linux-4.13 a patch on top of this series, trying to improve data locality as described in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg422258.html v2 provides an ethtool -S new counter (rx_alloc_pages) and code factorization, plus Tariq fix. v3 includes various fixes based on Tariq tests and feedback from Saeed and Tariq. v4 rebased on net-next for inclusion in linux-4.12, as requested by Tariq. Worth noting this patch series deletes ~250 lines of code ;) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
