Merge branch 'remove-page-frag-implementation-in-vhost_net'
Yunsheng Lin says: ==================== remove page frag implementation in vhost_net Currently there are three implementations for page frag: 1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API being page_frag_alloc_align(). 2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being skb_page_frag_refill(). 3. drivers/vhost/net.c: vhost seems to be using it to build xdp frame, and it's implementation seems to be a mix of the above two. This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation a little bit by unifying gfp bit for order 3 page allocation and replacing page frag implementation in vhost.c with the one in page_alloc.c. After this patchset, we are not only able to unify the page frag implementation a little, but also able to have about 0.5% performance boost testing by using the vhost_net_test introduced in the last patch.

V5: Address the comment from jason in vhost_net_test.c and the comment about leaving out the gfp change for page frag in sock.c as suggested by Paolo. V4: Resend based on latest net-next branch. V3: 1. Add __page_frag_alloc_align() which is passed with the align mask the original function expected as suggested by Alexander. 2. Drop patch 3 in v2 suggested by Alexander. 3. Reorder patch 4 & 5 in v2 suggested by Alexander. Note that placing this gfp flags handing for order 3 page in an inline function is not considered, as we may be able to unify the page_frag and page_frag_cache handling. V2: Change 'xor'd' to 'masked off', add vhost tx testing for vhost_net_test. V1: Fix some typo, drop RFC tag and rebase on latest net-next. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240228093013.8263-1-linyunsheng@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
