The networking stack has various places where there will be a quick
kmalloc followed by a kfree for an incoming or outgoing packet. One
place that comes to mind would be esp_alloc_tmp, which does a quick
allocation of some temporary kmalloc memory, processes some packet
things inside of that, and then frees it, sometimes in the same
function, and sometimes later in an async callback. I don't know how
"fastpath" you consider this, but usually packet processing is
something people want to do with minimal overhead, considering how
fast NICs are these days.

The networking stack has various places where there will be a quick
kmalloc followed by a kfree for an incoming or outgoing packet. One
place that comes to mind would be esp_alloc_tmp, which does a quick
allocation of some temporary kmalloc memory, processes some packet
things inside of that, and then frees it, sometimes in the same
function, and sometimes later in an async callback. I don't know how
"fastpath" you consider this, but usually packet processing is
something people want to do with minimal overhead, considering how
fast NICs are these days.
