From 909876500251b3b48480a840bbf9053588254eee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 15 May 2022 21:24:56 -0700 Subject: net: call skb_defer_free_flush() before each napi_poll() skb_defer_free_flush() can consume cpu cycles, it seems better to call it in the inner loop: - Potentially frees page/skb that will be reallocated while hot. - Account for the cpu cycles in the @time_limit determination. - Keep softnet_data.defer_count small to reduce chances for skb_attempt_defer_free() to send an IPI.
