I am not sure how the header/data split is implemented in hw, but it seems the driver is not able to tell which desc will be filled with header or data in advance, so it might need to allocate 4K block for all desc? > > Basically by shifting the pool values by 1 you can have both in the > same pool with little issue.

Also, the above "netdev to netdev" only meant XDP now, but not the IP forwarding path in the network stack, right? > > > As the busypoll has enable the one-to-one relation between NAPI and sock, > > and there is one-to-one relation between NAPI and page pool, perhaps it make > > senses that we use page pool to recycle the tx page too? > > > > There are possibly below problems when doing that as I am aware of now: > > 1. busypoll is for rx, and tx may not be using the same queue as rx even if > > there are *technically* the same flow， so I am not sure it is ok to use > > busypoll infrastructure to get the page pool ptr for a specific sock. > > > > 2.

IIUC sk_page_frag_refill() is already doing a similar reusing as the rx reusing implemented in most driver except for the not pre-mapping part. And it seems that even if we pre-map the page and communicate that the memory is already mapped to the driver, it is likely that we will not be able to reuse the page when the circular buffer is not big enough or tx completion/tcp ack is not happening quickly enough, which might means unmapping/deallocating old circular buffer and allocating/mapping new circular buffer. Using page pool we might be able to alleviate the above problem as it does for rx?
