Yes it can, since it's going to be used as your default allocator for payloads, which might end up on an SKB. So we have to keep the extra added field on struct page for our mark. Matthew had an intersting idea. He suggested keeping it, but changing the magic number, so it can't be a kernel address, but I'll let him follow up on the details. > > There is a recent discussion [1] on memcg accounting of TCP RX > zerocopy and I am wondering if this work can somehow help in that > regard. I will take a look at the series. > I'll try having a look on this as well. The idea behind the patchset is to allow lower speed NICs that use the API already, gain recycling 'easily'. Using page_pool for the driver comes with a penalty to begin with. Allocating pages instead of SKBs has a measurable difference. By enabling them to recycle they'll get better performance, since you skip the reallocation/remapping and only care for syncing the buffers correctly. > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210316013003.25271-1-arjunroy.kdev@gmail.com/
