net/mlx5e: Single flow order-0 pages for Striding RQ
To improve the memory consumption scheme, we omit the flow that demands and splits high-order pages in Striding RQ, and stay with a single Striding RQ flow that uses order-0 pages. Moving to fragmented memory allows the use of larger MPWQEs, which reduces the number of UMR posts and filler CQEs. Moving to a single flow allows several optimizations that improve performance, especially in production servers where we would anyway fallback to order-0 allocations: - inline functions that were called via function pointers. - improve the UMR post process. This patch alone is expected to give a slight performance reduction. However, the new memory scheme gives the possibility to use a page-cache of a fair size, that doesn't inflate the memory footprint, which will dramatically fix the reduction and even give a performance gain. Performance tests: The following results were measured on a freshly booted system, giving optimal baseline performance, as high-order pages are yet to be fragmented and depleted. We ran pktgen single-stream benchmarks, with iptables-raw-drop: Single stride, 64 bytes: * 4,739,057 - baseline * 4,749,550 - this patch no reduction Larger packets, no page cross, 1024 bytes: * 3,982,361 - baseline * 3,845,682 - this patch 3.5% reduction Larger packets, every 3rd packet crosses a page, 1500 bytes: * 3,731,189 - baseline * 3,579,414 - this patch 4% reduction Fixes: 461017c ("net/mlx5e: Support RX multi-packet WQE (Striding RQ)") Fixes: bc77b24 ("net/mlx5e: Add fragmented memory support for RX multi packet WQE") Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
