From ef687d61e0e999575c8d781e1edd04b4a388440f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Lobakin Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 18:18:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iavf: switch to napi_build_skb() napi_build_skb() reuses per-cpu NAPI skbuff_head cache in order to save some cycles on freeing/allocating skbuff_heads on every new Rx or completed Tx. iavf driver runs Tx completion polling cycle right before the Rx one and uses napi_consume_skb() to feed the cache with skbuff_heads of completed entries, so it's never empty and always warm at that moment. Switch to the napi_build_skb() to relax mm pressure on heavy Rx.
