After [1], there are still two implementations for page frag:

1. mm/page_alloc.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   rx part with 'struct page_frag_cache' and the main API
   being page_frag_alloc_align().
2. net/core/sock.c: net stack seems to be using it in the
   tx part with 'struct page_frag' and the main API being
   skb_page_frag_refill().

This patchset tries to unfiy the page frag implementation
by replacing page_frag with page_frag_cache for sk_page_frag()
first. net_high_order_alloc_disable_key for the implementation
in net/core/sock.c doesn't seems matter that much now have
have pcp support for high-order pages in commit 44042b449872
("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the
per-cpu lists").

As the related change is mostly related to networking, so
targeting the net-next. And will try to replace the rest
of page_frag in the follow patchset.

After this patchset:
1. Unify the page frag implementation by taking the best out of
   two the existing implementations: we are able to save some space
   for the 'page_frag_cache' API user, and avoid 'get_page()' for
   the old 'page_frag' API user.
2. Future bugfix and performance can be done in one place, hence
   improving maintainability of page_frag's implementation.

Performance validation:
1. Using micro-benchmark ko added in patch 1 to test aligned and
   non-aligned API performance impact for the existing users, there
   is no notiable performance degradation. Instead we seems to some
   minor performance boot for both aligned and non-aligned API after
   this patchset as below.

2. Use the below netcat test case, we also have some minor
   performance boot for repalcing 'page_frag' with 'page_frag_cache'
   after this patchset.
   server: taskset -c 32 nc -l -k 1234 > /dev/null
   client: perf stat -r 200 -- taskset -c 0 head -c 20G /dev/zero | taskset -c 1 nc 127.0.0.1 1234


In order to avoid performance noise as much as possible, the testing
is done in system without any other laod and have enough iterations to
prove the data is stable enogh, complete log for testing is below:

taskset -c 32 nc -l -k 1234 > /dev/null
perf stat -r 200 -- insmod ./page_frag_test.ko test_push_cpu=16 test_pop_cpu=17
perf stat -r 200 -- insmod ./page_frag_test.ko test_push_cpu=16 test_pop_cpu=17 test_align=1
perf stat -r 200 -- taskset -c 0 head -c 20G /dev/zero | taskset -c 1 nc 127.0.0.1 1234

Change log:
V9:
   1. Add check for test_alloc_len and change perm of module_param()
      to 0 as Wang Wei' comment.
   2. Rebased on latest net-next.

V8: Remove patch 2 & 3 in V7, as free_unref_page() is changed to call
    pcp_allowed_order() and used in page_frag API recently in:
    commit 5b8d75913a0e ("mm: combine free_the_page() and free_unref_page()")

V7: Fix doc build warning and error.

V6:
   1. Fix some typo and compiler error for x86 pointed out by Jakub and
      Simon.
   2. Add two refactoring and optimization patches.

V5:
   1. Add page_frag_alloc_pg() API for tls_device.c case and refactor
      some implementation, update kernel bin size changing as bin size
      is increased after that.
   2. Add ack from Mat.

RFC v4:
   1. Update doc according to Randy and Mat's suggestion.
   2. Change probe API to "probe" for a specific amount  of available space,
      rather than "nonzero" space according to Mat's suggestion.
   3. Retest and update the test result.

v3:
   1. Use new layout for 'struct page_frag_cache' as the discussion
      with Alexander and other sugeestions from Alexander.
   2. Add probe API to address Mat' comment about mptcp use case.
   3. Some doc updating according to Bagas' suggestion.

v2:
   1. reorder test module to patch 1.
   2. split doc and maintainer updating to two patches.
   3. refactor the page_frag before moving.
   4. fix a type and 'static' warning in test module.
   5. add a patch for xtensa arch to enable using get_order() in
      BUILD_BUG_ON().
   6. Add test case and performance data for the socket code.

Please do not post a new version until you get feedback from Alex
on the previous one. This series consumes all our CI resources,
we can't get important patches tested :|

Sorry, I didn't realize this patch set was waiting on feedback from
me. I will try to get to it as time permits. Maybe a day or two as I
have been swamped this week with various fbnic related items.

Thanks,

Ok, it would be good to have some feedback from you, thanks.

Silly nitpick, but maybe for the next version you change the Subject:
to Tenth try to replace page_frag with page_frag.... :-)

Yes, it is somewhat confusing for the 'First try' part.
I guess I can change it to highlight the effort and commitment behind
the trying:-)

Sorry to ruin the slightly whimsical mood but if you do change it -
please don't include the version at all. Some automation matches
versions of patch sets together based on the title of the cover letter.

Ok, perhaps it is more appropriate to change it to something like below:

Replace page_frag with page_frag_cache for sk_page_frag()

As this patchset is large enough that replacing is only done
for sk_page_frag(), there are still other places using page_frag that
can be replaced by page_frag_cache.
