The virtio-net driver currently uses netdev_alloc_frag() for GFP_ATOMIC mergeable rx buffer allocations. This commit migrates virtio-net to use per-receive queue page frags for GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This change unifies mergeable rx buffer memory allocation, which now will use skb_refill_frag() for both atomic and GFP-WAIT buffer allocations. To address fragmentation concerns, if after buffer allocation there is too little space left in the page frag to allocate a subsequent buffer, the remaining space is added to the current allocated buffer so that the remaining space can be used to...

skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs). This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing page allocation

Commit 2613af0ed18a ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE to MTU-size. However, the merge buffer size does not take into account the size of the virtio-net header. Consequently, packets that are MTU-size will take two buffers intead of one (to store the virtio-net header), substantially decreasing the

The virtio-net device currently uses aligned MTU-sized mergeable receive packet buffers. Network throughput for workloads with large average packet size can be improved by posting larger receive packet buffers. However, due to SKB truesize effects, posting large (e.g, PAGE_SIZE) buffers reduces the throughput of workloads that do not benefit from GRO and have no large inbound packets. This
