Jesper Dangaard Brouer 44768decb7 page_pool: handle page recycle for NUMA_NO_NODE condition
The check in pool_page_reusable (page_to_nid(page) == pool->p.nid) is
not valid if page_pool was configured with pool->p.nid = NUMA_NO_NODE.

The goal of the NUMA changes in commit d5394610b1 ("page_pool: Don't
recycle non-reusable pages"), were to have RX-pages that belongs to the
same NUMA node as the CPU processing RX-packet during softirq/NAPI. As
illustrated by the performance measurements.

This patch moves the NAPI checks out of fast-path, and at the same time
solves the NUMA_NO_NODE issue.

First realize that alloc_pages_node() with pool->p.nid = NUMA_NO_NODE
will lookup current CPU nid (Numa ID) via numa_mem_id(), which is used
as the the preferred nid.  It is only in rare situations, where
e.g. NUMA zone runs dry, that page gets doesn't get allocated from
preferred nid.  The page_pool API allows drivers to control the nid
themselves via controlling pool->p.nid.

This patch moves the NAPI check to when alloc cache is refilled, via
dequeuing/consuming pages from the ptr_ring. Thus, we can allow placing
pages from remote NUMA into the ptr_ring, as the dequeue/consume step
will check the NUMA node. All current drivers using page_pool will
alloc/refill RX-ring from same CPU running softirq/NAPI process.

Drivers that control the nid explicitly, also use page_pool_update_nid
when changing nid runtime.  To speed up transision to new nid the alloc
cache is now flushed on nid changes.  This force pages to come from
ptr_ring, which does the appropate nid check.

For the NUMA_NO_NODE case, when a NIC IRQ is moved to another NUMA
node, we accept that transitioning the alloc cache doesn't happen
immediately. The preferred nid change runtime via consulting
numa_mem_id() based on the CPU processing RX-packets.

Notice, to avoid stressing the page buddy allocator and avoid doing too
much work under softirq with preempt disabled, the NUMA check at
ptr_ring dequeue will break the refill cycle, when detecting a NUMA
mismatch. This will cause a slower transition, but its done on purpose.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
