    net: Update alloc frag to reduce get/put page usage and recycle pages · 540eb7bf
    Alexander Duyck 提交于
    This patch is meant to help improve performance by reducing the number of
    locked operations required to allocate a frag on x86 and other platforms.
    This is accomplished by using atomic_set operations on the page count
    instead of calling get_page and put_page.  It is based on work originally
    provided by Eric Dumazet.
    
    In addition it also helps to reduce memory overhead when using TCP.  This
    is done by recycling the page if the only holder of the frame is the
    netdev_alloc_frag call itself.  This can occur when skb heads are stolen by
    either GRO or TCP and the driver providing the packets is using paged frags
    to store all of the data for the packets.
