Thanks for taking the time with this! I am a bit overloaded atm, give me a
few days and I'll go through the patches

Cheers

Interesting!
Unfortunately I'll not have access to my macchiatobin anytime soon, can
someone test the impact, if any, on mvpp2?

I'll try to test. Please let me know what kind of testing you're
looking for (I haven't been following these patches, sorry.)

A drop test or L2 routing will be enough.
BTW I should have the macchiatobin back on friday.

I have a 10G packet generator connected to 10G ports of CN913x-DB - I
will stress mvpp2 in l2 forwarding early next week (I'm mostly AFK
this until Monday).

I managed to to a drop test on mvpp2. Maybe there is a slowdown but
it's below the measurement uncertainty.

Perf top before:

Overhead Shared O Symbol
8.48% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page
2.57% [kernel] [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache
1.58% [kernel] [k] page_pool_alloc_pages
0.75% [kernel] [k] page_pool_return_skb_page

after:

Overhead Shared O Symbol
8.34% [kernel] [k] page_pool_put_page
4.52% [kernel] [k] page_pool_return_skb_page
4.42% [kernel] [k] page_pool_sub_bias
3.16% [kernel] [k] page_pool_alloc_pages
2.43% [kernel] [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache

Hi, Matteo
Thanks for the testing.
it seems you have adapted the mvpp2 driver to use the new frag
API for page pool, There is one missing optimization for XDP case,
the page is always returned to the pool->ring regardless of the
context of page_pool_put_page() for elevated refcnt case.

Maybe adding back that optimization will close some gap of the above
performance difference if the drop is happening in softirq context.

I think what Matteo did was a pure netstack test. We'll need testing on
both XDP and normal network cases to be able to figure out the exact
impact.
