Driver follows a method of taking one extra reference on the page for recycling which is fine in usual packet path where each 64KB page is segmented into multiple receive buffers. But in XDP mode since there is just one receive buffer per page taking extra page reference itself becomes big bottleneck consuming ~50% of CPU cycles due to atomic operations. This patch adds a internal ref count in pgcache for each page and additional page references are taken in a batch instead of just one at a time. Internal i.e 'pgcache->ref_count' and page's i.e 'page->_refcount' counters are compared to check page's recyclability. Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
