Currently, all sorts of skb allocation always do allocate
skbuff_heads one by one via kmem_cache_alloc().
On the other hand, we have percpu napi_alloc_cache to store
skbuff_heads queued up for freeing and flush them by bulks.
We can use this cache not only for bulk-wiping, but also to obtain
heads for new skbs and avoid unconditional allocations, as well as
for bulk-allocating (like XDP's cpumap code and veth driver already
do).
As this might affect latencies, cache pressure and lots of hardware
and driver-dependent stuff, this new feature is mostly optional and
can be issued via:
- a new napi_build_skb() function (as a replacement for build_skb());
- existing {,__}napi_alloc_skb() and napi_get_frags() functions;
- __alloc_skb() with passing SKB_ALLOC_NAPI in flags.
iperf3 showed 35-70 Mbps bumps for both TCP and UDP while performing
VLAN NAT on 1.2 GHz MIPS board. The boost is likely to be bigger
on more powerful hosts and NICs with tens of Mpps.
Note on skbuff_heads from distant slabs or pfmemalloc'ed slabs:
- kmalloc()/kmem_cache_alloc() itself allows by default allocating
memory from the remote nodes to defragment their slabs. This is
controlled by sysctl, but according to this, skbuff_head from a
remote node is an OK case;
- The easiest way to check if the slab of skbuff_head is remote or
pfmemalloc'ed is:
if (!dev_page_is_reusable(virt_to_head_page(skb)))
/* drop it */;
...*but*, regarding that most slabs are built of compound pages,
virt_to_head_page() will hit unlikely-branch every single call.
This check costed at least 20 Mbps in test scenarios and seems
like it'd be better to _not_ do this.
Since v5 [4]:
- revert flags-to-bool conversion and simplify flags testing in
__alloc_skb() (Alexander Duyck).
Since v4 [3]:
- rebase on top of net-next and address kernel build robot issue;
- reorder checks a bit in __alloc_skb() to make new condition even
more harmless.
Since v3 [2]:
- make the feature mostly optional, so driver developers could
decide whether to use it or not (Paolo Abeni).
This reuses the old flag for __alloc_skb() and introduces
a new napi_build_skb();
- reduce bulk-allocation size from 32 to 16 elements (also Paolo).
This equals to the value of XDP's devmap and veth batch processing
(which were tested a lot) and should be sane enough;
- don't waste cycles on explicit in_serving_softirq() check.
Since v2 [1]:
- also cover {,__}alloc_skb() and {,__}build_skb() cases (became handy
after the changes that pass tiny skbs requests to kmalloc layer);
- cover the cache with KASAN instrumentation (suggested by Eric
Dumazet, help of Dmitry Vyukov);
- completely drop redundant __kfree_skb_flush() (also Eric);
- lots of code cleanups;
- expand the commit message with NUMA and pfmemalloc points (Jakub).
Since v1 [0]:
- use one unified cache instead of two separate to greatly simplify
the logics and reduce hotpath overhead (Edward Cree);
- new: recycle also GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs instead of immediate
freeing;
- correct performance numbers after optimizations and performing
lots of tests for different use cases.

Alexander Lobakin (11):
skbuff: move __alloc_skb() next to the other skb allocation functions
skbuff: simplify kmalloc_reserve()
skbuff: make __build_skb_around() return void
skbuff: simplify __alloc_skb() a bit
skbuff: use __build_skb_around() in __alloc_skb()
skbuff: remove __kfree_skb_flush()
skbuff: move NAPI cache declarations upper in the file
skbuff: introduce {,__}napi_build_skb() which reuses NAPI cache heads
skbuff: allow to optionally use NAPI cache from __alloc_skb()
skbuff: allow to use NAPI cache from __napi_alloc_skb()
skbuff: queue NAPI_MERGED_FREE skbs into NAPI cache instead of freeing

2.30.1
In preparation before reusing several functions in all three skb
allocation variants, move __alloc_skb() next to the
__netdev_alloc_skb() and __napi_alloc_skb().
No functional changes.

Eversince the introduction of __kmalloc_reserve(), "ip" argument
hasn't been used. _RET_IP_ is embedded inside
kmalloc_node_track_caller().
Remove the redundant macro and rename the function after it.

2.30.1
Instead of just bulk-flushing skbuff_heads queued up through
napi_consume_skb() or __kfree_skb_defer(), try to reuse them
on allocation path.
If the cache is empty on allocation, bulk-allocate the first
16 elements, which is more efficient than per-skb allocation.
If the cache is full on freeing, bulk-wipe the second half of
the cache (32 elements).
This also includes custom KASAN poisoning/unpoisoning to be
double sure there are no use-after-free cases.
To not change current behaviour, introduce a new function,
napi_build_skb(), to optionally use a new approach later
in drivers.
Note on selected bulk size, 16:
- this equals to XDP_BULK_QUEUE_SIZE, DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE
and especially VETH_XDP_BATCH, which is also used to
bulk-allocate skbuff_heads and was tested on powerful
setups;
- this also showed the best performance in the actual
test series (from the array of {8, 16, 32}).

napi_frags_finish() and napi_skb_finish() can only be called inside
NAPI Rx context, so we can feed NAPI cache with skbuff_heads that
got NAPI_MERGED_FREE verdict instead of immediate freeing.
Replace __kfree_skb() with __kfree_skb_defer() in napi_skb_finish()
and move napi_skb_free_stolen_head() to skbuff.c, so it can drop skbs
to NAPI cache.
As many drivers call napi_alloc_skb()/napi_get_frags() on their
receive path, this becomes especially useful.

This function isn't much needed as NAPI skb queue gets bulk-freed
anyway when there's no more room, and even may reduce the efficiency
of bulk operations.
It will be even less needed after reusing skb cache on allocation path,
so remove it and this way lighten network softirqs a bit.

Reuse the old and forgotten SKB_ALLOC_NAPI to add an option to get
an skbuff_head from the NAPI cache instead of inplace allocation
inside __alloc_skb().
This implies that the function is called from softirq or BH-off
context, not for allocating a clone or from a distant node.

{,__}napi_alloc_skb() is mostly used either for optional non-linear
receive methods (usually controlled via Ethtool private flags and off

Use __napi_build_skb() here for obtaining skbuff_heads from NAPI cache
instead of inplace allocations. This includes both kmalloc and page
