[PATCH net-next 3/5] virtio_net: Add page pool fragmentation support

From: Liang Chen
Date: Fri May 26 2023 - 01:47:11 EST


To further enhance performance, implement page pool fragmentation
support and introduce a module parameter to enable or disable it.

In single-core vm testing environments, there is an additional performance
gain observed in the normal path compared to the one packet per page
approach.
Upstream codebase: 47.5 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool: 50.2 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation support: 52.3 Gbits/sec

There is also some performance gain for XDP cpumap.
Upstream codebase: 1.38 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool: 9.74 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase with page pool fragmentation: 10.3 Gbits/sec
