In the case of using indirect, indirect desc must be allocated and
released each time, which increases a lot of cpu overhead.
Here, a cache is added for indirect. If the number of indirect desc to be
applied for is less than VIRT_QUEUE_CACHE_DESC_NUM, the desc array with
the size of VIRT_QUEUE_CACHE_DESC_NUM is fixed and cached for reuse.

I wonder if we can simply pre-allocate per buffer indirect descriptors array. E.g if we use MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1, it will be ~64KB for 256 queue size and ~272KB for 1024 queue size. Then we avoid list manipulation and kmalloc in datapath with much more simpler codes.

In this way, I feel that using kmem_cache_alloc's series of functions is a good solution. But when I tested it before, there was no improvement. I want to study the reasons for this, and hope to solve this problem. In addition, regarding the use of the kmem_cache_alloc_bulk function you mentioned, I will also try to see it.> > diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > index dd95dfd85e98..0ebcd4f12d3b 100644 > > --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c > > @@ -117,6 +117,15 @@ struct vring_virtqueue { > > /* Hint for event idx: already triggered no need to disable. */ > > bool event_triggered; > > > > + /* desc cache threshold > > + * 0 - disable desc cache > > + * > 0 - enable desc cache.

Since the cache here is exclusive to vq, I feel that there is no need to use atomic operations. I replaced it with list_head.

When the user calls virtqueue_add, if the number of sg used is greater than 1, indirect desc will be used. If the number of sg is less than or equal to desc_cache_thr, cache is used. When it is greater than desc_cache_thr, kmalloc/kfree is used directly.
