      net: Split netdev_alloc_frag into __alloc_page_frag and add __napi_alloc_frag · ffde7328
      Alexander Duyck 提交于
      This patch splits the netdev_alloc_frag function up so that it can be used
      on one of two page frag pools instead of being fixed on the
      netdev_alloc_cache.  By doing this we can add a NAPI specific function
      __napi_alloc_frag that accesses a pool that is only used from softirq
      context.  The advantage to this is that we do not need to call
      local_irq_save/restore which can be a significant savings.
      
      I also took the opportunity to refactor the core bits that were placed in
      __alloc_page_frag.  First I updated the allocation to do either a 32K
      allocation or an order 0 page.  This is based on the changes in commmit
      d9b2938a where it was found that latencies could be reduced in case of
      failures.  Then I also rewrote the logic to work from the end of the page to
      the start.  By doing this the size value doesn't have to be used unless we
      have run out of space for page fragments.  Finally I cleaned up the atomic
      bits so that we just do an atomic_sub_and_test and if that returns true then
      we set the page->_count via an atomic_set.  This way we can remove the extra
      conditional for the atomic_read since it would have led to an atomic_inc in
      the case of success anyway.
