Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/5] skbuff: reuse skbuff_heads from flush_skb_cache if available
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:29:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210111182801.12609-3-alobakin@pm.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210111182801.12609-1-alobakin@pm.me>

Instead of unconditional allocating a new skbuff_head and
unconditional flushing of flush_skb_cache, reuse the ones queued
up for flushing if there are any.
skbuff_heads stored in flush_skb_cache are already unreferenced
from any pages or extensions and almost ready for use. We perform
zeroing in __napi_alloc_skb() anyway, regardless of where did our
skbuff_head came from.
