From 4b5a28b38c4a0106c64416a1b2042405166b26ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Leitao Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 05:49:30 -0800 Subject: net: Add non-RCU dev_getbyhwaddr() helper Add dedicated helper for finding devices by hardware address when holding rtnl_lock, similar to existing dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu(). This prevents PROVE_LOCKING warnings when rtnl_lock is held but RCU read lock is not. Extract common address comparison logic into dev_addr_cmp().

The intended goal of such change was to counter a performance regression introduced by commit 3226b158e67c ("net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for tiny skbs"). Unfortunately, the blamed commit introduces another regression for the virtio_net driver. Such a driver calls napi_alloc_skb() with a tiny size, so that the whole head frag could fit a 512-byte block. The single page frag cache uses a 1K fragment for such allocation, and the additional overhead, under small UDP packets flood, makes the page allocator a bottleneck. Thanks to commit bf9f1baa279f ("net: add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head"), this revert does not re-introduce the original regression. Actually, in the relevant test on top of this revert, I measure a small but noticeable positive delta, just above noise level. The revert itself required some additional mangling due to recent updates in the affected code.
