Liang Chen says: ==================== skbuff: Optimize SKB coalescing for page pool The combination of the following condition was excluded from skb coalescing: from->pp_recycle = 1 from->cloned = 1 to->pp_recycle = 1 With page pool in use, this combination can be quite common(ex. NetworkMananger may lead to the additional packet_type being registered, thus the cloning). In scenarios with a higher number of small packets, it can significantly affect the success rate of coalescing. This patchset aims to optimize this scenario and enable coalescing of this particular combination. That also involves supporting multiple users referencing the same fragment of a pp page to accomondate the need to increment the "from" SKB page's pp page reference count. Changes from v10: - re-number patches to 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 Changes from v9: - patch 1 was already applied - imporve description for patch 2 - make sure skb_pp_frag_ref only work for pp aware skbs ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
