[PATCH RFC net-next v2 2/7] net: page_pool: place frag_* fields in one cacheline

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Fri Jul 14 2023 - 13:10:36 EST


On x86_64, frag_* fields of struct page_pool are scattered across two
cachelines despite the summary size of 24 bytes. The last field,
::frag_users, is pushed out to the next one, sharing it with
::alloc_stats.
All three fields are used in pretty much the same places. There are some
holes and cold members to move around. Move frag_* one block up, placing
them right after &page_pool_params perfectly at the beginning of CL2.
This doesn't do any meaningful to the second block, as those are some
destroy-path cold structures, and doesn't do anything to ::alloc_stats,
which still starts at 200-byte offset, 8 bytes after CL3 (still fitting
into 1 cacheline).
On my setup, this yields 1-2% of Mpps when using PP frags actively.
When it comes to 32-bit architectures with 32-byte CL: &page_pool_params
plus ::pad is 44 bytes, the block taken care of is 16 bytes within one
CL, so there should be at least no regressions from the actual change.
