Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 3/3] skbuff: recycle GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs into NAPI skb cache
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 13:37:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210113133635.39402-3-alobakin@pm.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210113133635.39402-1-alobakin@pm.me>

Instead of immediate freeing, recycle GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs into
NAPI skb cache. This is safe, because napi_gro_receive() and
napi_gro_frags() are called only inside NAPI softirq context.
As many drivers call napi_alloc_skb()/napi_get_frags() on their
receive path, this becomes especially useful.
