[PATCH net-next] virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators
The virtio_net driver's mergeable receive buffer allocator uses 4KB packet buffers. For MTU-sized traffic, SKB truesize is > 4KB but only ~1500 bytes of the buffer is used to store packet data, reducing the effective TCP window size substantially. This patch addresses the performance concerns with mergeable receive buffers by allocating MTU-sized packet buffers using page frag allocators.
