Subject: [RFC] support memory recycle for ring-mapped provided buffer
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2022 13:55:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
Hi all,
I've actually done most code of this, but I think it's necessary to
first ask community for comments on the design. what I do is when
consuming a buffer, don't increment the head, but check the length
in real use. Then update the buffer info like
buff->addr += len, buff->len -= len;
(off course if a req consumes the whole buffer, just increment head)
and since we now changed the addr of buffer, a simple buffer id is
useless for userspace to get the data. We have to deliver the original
addr back to userspace through cqe->extra1, which means this feature
needs CQE32 to be on.
This way a provided buffer may be splited to many pieces, and userspace
should track each piece, when all the pieces are spare again, they can
re-provide the buffer.(they can surely re-provide each piece separately
but that causes more and more memory fragments, anyway, it's users'
choice.)
How do you think of this? Actually I'm not a fun of big cqe, it's not
perfect to have the limitation of having CQE32 on, but seems no other
option?
Thanks,
Hao
