Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Reduce memory footprint of mlxsw driver Amit Cohen writes: A previous patch-set used page pool to allocate buffers, to simplify the change, we first used one continuous buffer, which was allocated with order > 0. This set improves page pool usage to allocate the exact number of pages which are required for packet. This change requires using fragmented SKB, till now all the buffer was in the linear part. Note that 'skb->truesize' is decreased for small packets. This set significantly reduces memory consumption of mlxsw driver. The footprint is reduced by 26%. Patch set overview: Patch #1 calculates number of scatter/gather entries and stores the value Patch #2 converts the driver to use fragmented buffers ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/cover.1719321422.git.petrm@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
