      net/mlx5e: Single flow order-0 pages for Striding RQ · 7e426671
      Tariq Toukan authored
      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

      rxrpc: Make IPv6 support conditional on CONFIG_IPV6 · d1912747
      David Howells authored
      Add CONFIG_AF_RXRPC_IPV6 and make the IPv6 support code conditional on it.
      This is then made conditional on CONFIG_IPV6.
      
      Without this, the following can be seen:
      
         net/built-in.o: In function `rxrpc_init_peer':
      >> peer_object.c:(.text+0x18c3c8): undefined reference to `ip6_route_output_flags'
