From 7354a426e063e108c0a3590f13abc77573172576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2022 08:53:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: ena: Do not waste napi skb cache By profiling, discovered that ena device driver allocates skb by build_skb() and frees by napi_skb_cache_put(). Because the driver does not use napi skb cache in allocation path, napi skb cache is periodically filled and flushed. This is waste of napi skb cache. As ena_alloc_skb() is called only in napi, Use napi_build_skb() and napi_alloc_skb() when allocating skb. This patch was tested on aws a1.metal instance.
