Hi,

The Guest CPU util is low, every packet is 64000. But the Host vhost process is
100%. So we can not judge by the traffic or the cpu of the Guest.
So I use the kernel without my patches 0635819decaf9d60e6cacfecfebfabe3cbdddafb.
I want to count the frags coalescing num when the comp page is disabled.
$ sh -x test.sh
+ sysctl -w net.core.high_order_alloc_disable=1
net.core.high_order_alloc_disable = 1
+ sysctl net.core.high_order_alloc_disable
net.core.high_order_alloc_disable = 1
+ sleep 5
+ timeout 5 bpftrace -e 'kprobe:
skb_coalesce_rx_frag{@[nsecs/1000/1000/1000]=count()}'
Attaching 1 probe...
+ sysctl -w net.core.high_order_alloc_disable=0
net.core.high_order_alloc_disable = 0
+ sysctl net.core.high_order_alloc_disable
net.core.high_order_alloc_disable = 0
+ sleep 5
+ timeout 5 bpftrace -e 'kprobe:
skb_coalesce_rx_frag{@[nsecs/1000/1000/1000]=count()}'
Attaching 1 probe...
@[356]: 167020
@[361]: 673653
@[359]: 900844
@[360]: 912657
@[358]: 915853
@[357]: 932245
We can see that the skb_coalesce_rx_frag is not called when comp page is
disabled.
If the comp page is enable, there will be many frags coalescing.
So I think that my change will not have impact.
