This reverts commit e9275f5e. This commit is the last in the netback grant mapping series, and it tries to do more aggressive aggreagtion of unmap operations. However practical use showed almost no positive effect, whilst with certain frontends it causes significant performance regression.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== Using dev_kfree/consume_skb_any for functions called in multiple contexts These changes are a result of walking through the network drivers supporting netpoll and verifying the code paths that netpoll can cause to be called in hard irq context use an appropriate flavor of kfree_skb. Either dev_kfree_skb_any or dev_consume_skb_any. Since my last pass at this I have become aware of the small differences between dev_kfree_skb_any and dev_consume_skb_any. net/core/drop_monitor.c reports the dev_kfree_skb_any as a drop and while being quite about the second. With the weird twist that dev_kfree_skb is unintuitively consume_skb. As netpoll now calls the napi poll function with budget == 0, pieces of a drivers the napi poll function that don't run when budget == 0 have been ignored. The most interesting change is to the atl1c which tried unsuccesfully to tell one of it's functions which context it is called in so that it could call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb as appropriate. I have just removed the extra parameter and called dev_consume_skb_any. At 54 separate changes I will post each change as a separate patch (so they can be reviewed) but for general sanity sake I have gathered them all into a git branch for easy acces. ==================== Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Replace kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in vlan_insert_tag as vlan_insert_tag can be called from hard irq context (netpoll) and from other contexts. dev_kfree_skb_any is used as vlan_insert_tag only frees the skb if the skb can not be modified to insert a tag, in which case vlan_insert_tag drops the skb.

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in spider_net_release_tx_chain which can be called in hard irq and other contexts. dev_consume_skb_any was choosen as it preserves the current dev_kfree_skb semantics (dev_kfree_skb is consume_skb) and is because it is correct most of the time as most packets will have been successfully transmitted not dropeed.

Replace kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in tile_net_tx and tile_net_tx_tso which can be called in hard irq and other contexts. At the point where the skbs are freed a packet has been successfully transmitted so dev_consume_skb_any is the appropriate variant to use. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in sc92031_start_xmit that can be called in hard irq and other contexts. Using dev_consume_skb_any preserves the current semantics (as dev_kfree_skb is just consume_skb) and since packet drops are rare is usually accurate. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in ibmveth_start_xmit that can be called in hard irq and other contexts. In this code path the packet can have either been transmitted or dropped, dev_consume_skb_any was choosen because that preserves the existing semantics of the code, and a transmitted packet is more likely.
