Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] tuntap: free XDP dropped packets in a batch
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 17:43:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181115094310.17307-2-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181115094310.17307-1-jasowang@redhat.com>

Thanks to the batched XDP buffs through msg_control. Instead of
calling put_page() for each page which involves a atomic operation,
let's batch them by record the last page that needs to be freed and
its refcnt count and free them in a batch.

Testpmd(virtio-user + vhost_net) + XDP_DROP shows 3.8% improvement.

Before: 4.71Mpps
After : 4.89Mpps
