Subject[PATCH net-next v3 00/13] First try to replace page_frag with page_frag_cache
Date
After [1], there are still two 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().

This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation
by replacing page_frag with page_frag_cache for sk_page_frag()
first. net_high_order_alloc_disable_key for the implementation
in net/core/sock.c doesn't seems matter that much now have
have pcp support for high-order pages in commit 44042b449872
("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the
per-cpu lists").

As the related change is mostly related to networking, so
targeting the net-next. And will try to replace the rest
of page_frag in the follow patchset.

After this patchset:
1. Unify the page frag implementation by taking the best out of
two the existing implementations: we are able to save some space
for the 'page_frag_cache' API user, and avoid 'get_page()' for
the old 'page_frag' API user.
2. Future bugfix and performance can be done in one place, hence
improving maintainability of page_frag's implementation.

before 44896899 | 27088459 17042280 766160
delta -3864 | -3912 +48 +0

Performance validation:
1. Using micro-benchmark ko added in patch 1 to test aligned and
non-aligned API performance impact for the existing users, there
is no notiable performance degradation. Instead we have some minor
performance boot for both aligned and non-aligned API after this
patchset as below.

2. Use the below netcat test case, we also have some minor
performance boot for repalcing 'page_frag' with 'page_frag_cache'
after this patchset.

client: perf stat -r 30 -- head -c 51200000000 /dev/zero | nc -N 127.0.0.1 1234


In order to avoid performance noise as much as possible, the testing
is done in system without any other laod and have enough iterations to
prove the data is stable enogh, complete log for testing is below:
