Re: [PATCH net-next 2/5] virtio_net: Add page_pool support to improve performance

From: Zhu Yanjun
Date: Wed Nov 29 2023 - 09:51:15 EST


在 2023/5/26 13:46, Liang Chen 写道:
The implementation at the moment uses one page per packet in both the
normal and XDP path. In addition, introducing a module parameter to enable
or disable the usage of page pool (disabled by default).

In single-core vm testing environments, it gives a modest performance gain
in the normal path.
Upstream codebase: 47.5 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase + page_pool support: 50.2 Gbits/sec

In multi-core vm testing environments, The most significant performance
gain is observed in XDP cpumap:
Upstream codebase: 1.38 Gbits/sec
Upstream codebase + page_pool support: 9.74 Gbits/sec

With this foundation, we can further integrate page pool fragmentation and
DMA map/unmap support.
