    net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb() · 28d64271
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
    regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
    if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.
    
    We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
    allocations.
    
    Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.
    
    I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
    let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.
    
    Tested:
    
    Before patch :
    
    $ netperf -t STREAM_STREAM
    STREAM STREAM TEST
    Recv   Send    Send
    Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
    Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
