Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 0/5] remove page frag implementation in vhost_net
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 17:30:07 +0800

Currently there are three implementations for page frag:

1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API
   being page_frag_alloc_align().
2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being
   skb_page_frag_refill().
3. drivers/vhost/net.c: vhost seems to be using it to build
   xdp frame, and it's implementation seems to be a mix of
   the above two.

This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation a
little bit by unifying gfp bit for order 3 page allocation
and replacing page frag implementation in vhost.c with the
one in page_alloc.c.

After this patchset, we are not only able to unify the page
frag implementation a little, but also able to have about
0.5% performance boost testing by using the vhost_net_test
introduced in the last patch.

Changelog:
V6: Add timeout for poll() and simplify some logic as suggested
    by Jason.

V5: Address the comment from jason in vhost_net_test.c and the
    comment about leaving out the gfp change for page frag in
    sock.c as suggested by Paolo.

V4: Resend based on latest net-next branch.

V3:
1. Add __page_frag_alloc_align() which is passed with the align mask
   the original function expected as suggested by Alexander.
2. Drop patch 3 in v2 suggested by Alexander.
3. Reorder patch 4 & 5 in v2 suggested by Alexander.

Note that placing this gfp flags handing for order 3 page in an inline
function is not considered, as we may be able to unify the page_frag
and page_frag_cache handling.

V2: Change 'xor'd' to 'masked off', add vhost tx testing for
    vhost_net_test.

V1: Fix some typo, drop RFC tag and rebase on latest net-next.

Yunsheng Lin (5):
  mm/page_alloc: modify page_frag_alloc_align() to accept align as an
    argument
  page_frag: unify gfp bits for order 3 page allocation
  net: introduce page_frag_cache_drain()
  vhost/net: remove vhost_net_page_frag_refill()
  tools: virtio: introduce vhost_net_test
