Subject: net: properly flush delay-freed skbs
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f52dffe049ee11ecc02588a118fbe4092672fbaa;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

net: properly flush delay-freed skbs

Typical NAPI drivers use napi_consume_skb(skb) at TX completion time.
This put skb in a percpu special queue, napi_alloc_cache, to get bulk
frees.

It turns out the queue is not flushed and hits the NAPI_SKB_CACHE_SIZE
limit quite often, with skbs that were queued hundreds of usec earlier.
I measured this can take ~6000 nsec to perform one flush.

__kfree_skb_flush() can be called from two points right now :

1) From net_tx_action(), but only for skbs that were queued to
sd->completion_queue.

 -> Irrelevant for NAPI drivers in normal operation.

2) From net_rx_action(), but only under high stress or if RPS/RFS has a
pending action.

This patch changes net_rx_action() to perform the flush in all cases and
after more urgent operations happened (like kicking remote CPUS for
RPS/RFS).
