For non-striding RQ configuration before this patch we had a ring with pre-allocated SKBs and mapped the SKB->data buffers for device. For robustness and better RX data buffers management, we allocate a page per packet and build_skb around it. This patch (which is a prerequisite for XDP) will actually reduce performance for normal stack usage, because we are now hitting a bottleneck in the page allocator. We use the page-cache to restore or even improve performance in comparison to the old RX scheme. Packet rate performance testing was done with pktgen 64B packets on xmit side and TC ingress dropping action on RX side.
