[PATCH v1 net] octeontx2-pf: fix page_pool creation fail for rings > 32k

From: Ratheesh Kannoth
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 09:25:27 EST


octeontx2 driver calls page_pool_create() during driver probe()
and fails if queue size > 32k. Page pool infra uses these buffers
as shock absorbers for burst traffic. These pages are pinned
down as soon as page pool is created. As page pool does direct
recycling way more aggressivelyi, often times ptr_ring is left
unused at all. Instead of clamping page_pool size to 32k at
most, limit it even more to 2k to avoid wasting memory on much
less used ptr_ring.

Fixes: b2e3406a38f0 ("octeontx2-pf: Add support for page pool")
