Add a new driver interface xsk_buff_alloc_batch() offering batched buffer allocations to improve performance. The new interface takes three arguments: the buffer pool to allocated from, a pointer to an array of struct xdp_buff pointers which will contain pointers to the allocated xdp_buffs, and an unsigned integer specifying the max number of buffers to allocate. The return value is the actual number of buffers that the allocator managed to allocate and it will be in the range 0 <= N <= max, where max is the third parameter to the function. u32 xsk_buff_alloc_batch(struct xsk_buff_pool *pool, struct xdp_buff **xdp, u32 max); A second driver interface is also introduced that need to be used in conjunction with xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). It is a helper that sets the size of struct xdp_buff and is used by the NIC Rx irq routine when receiving a packet. This helper sets the three struct members data, data_meta, and data_end. The two first ones is in the xsk_buff_alloc() case set in the allocation routine and data_end is set when a packet is received in the receive irq function. This unfortunately leads to worse performance since the xdp_buff is touched twice with a long time period in between leading to an extra cache miss. Instead, we fill out the xdp_buff with all 3 fields at one single point in time in the driver, when the size of the packet is known. Hence this helper. Note that the driver has to use this helper (or set all three fields itself) when using xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). xsk_buff_alloc() works as before and does not require this. void xsk_buff_set_size(struct xdp_buff *xdp, u32 size); Signed-off-by: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20210922075613.12186-3-magnus.karlsson@gmail.com
