[PATCH net-next 1/3] net: allow > 0 order atomic page alloc in skb_page_frag_refill
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

[PATCH net-next v6 0/6] virtio-net: mergeable rx buffer size auto-tuning
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.

[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.

[PATCH net 1/3] virtio-net: drop the rest of buffers when we can't allocate skb
When mergeable buffer were used, we only put the first page buf leave the rest
of buffers in the virt queue. This will cause the driver could not get the
correct head buffer any more. Fix this by dropping the rest of buffers for this
packet.
The bug was introduced by commit 9ab86bbcf8be755256f0a5e994e0b38af6b4d399
(virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path).

[PATCH 1/2] virtio_net: fix error handling for mergeable buffers
Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error
when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't
dequeue all of the buffers from this packet,
the result is almost sure to be loss of networking.
Jason Wang noticed that we also leak a page and that we don't decrement
the rq buf count, so we won't repost buffers (a resource leak).
Fix both issues, and also make the logic a bit more
