The page-pool idea was presented at MM-summit in April 2016: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2016/generic_page_pool_mm_summit2016.pdf Since I've written a more details design document (reviewed by Tom and Alexei). I've not implemented any code for the page-pool yet. I've read and discussed the current page-allocators per cpu caching of order-0 pages with Mel Gorman. Mel is open to changes in this area. We are looking at doing a "native" bulk between page-pool and page-allocator, by aligning/sharing some of the same data-structures (I see this as the page-pool "backend"). I want to prototype implement at page-pool frontend, in-order to (1) benchmark if it is fast-enough for perf-target, (2) to figure out the API drivers needs. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer _______________________________________________ iovisor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.iovisor.org/mailman/listinfo/iovisor-dev
