XSK provides a function to allocate frames in batches for more efficient processing. This commit starts using this function on legacy RQ, adding a special case for XSK. The new branch introduced basically replaces the branch that was removed from the same place a few commits before. A check is made that DMA sync is not needed, because the batching allocator falls back to returning one frame when DMA sync is needed, and this is best handled by the loop in the standard case. Performance improvement is up to 8% in the aligned mode and up to 9% in the unaligned mode. Aligned mode, 2048-byte frames: 12.8 Mpps -> 13.5 Mpps Aligned mode, 4096-byte frames: 11.5 Mpps -> 12.4 Mpps Unaligned mode, 2048-byte frames: 12.2 Mpps -> 13.4 Mpps Unaligned mode, 3072-byte frames: 11.6 Mpps -> 12.5 Mpps Unaligned mode, 4096-byte frames: 11.2 Mpps -> 12.2 Mpps CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6240 CPU @ 2.60GHz Signed-off-by: Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
