net: don't wait for order-3 page allocation
We saw excessive direct memory compaction triggered by skb_page_frag_refill.
This causes performance issues and add latency. Commit 5640f7685831e0
introduces the order-3 allocation. According to the changelog, the order-3
allocation isn't a must-have but to improve performance. But direct memory
compaction has high overhead. The benefit of order-3 allocation can't
compensate the overhead of direct memory compaction.
This patch makes the order-3 page allocation atomic. If there is no memory
pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still success, so we
don't sacrifice the order-3 benefit here. If the atomic allocation fails,
direct memory compaction will not be triggered, skb_page_frag_refill will
fallback to order-0 immediately, hence the direct memory compaction overhead is
avoided. In the allocation failure case, kswapd is waken up and doing
compaction, so chances are allocation could success next time.
alloc_skb_with_frags is the same.
The mellanox driver does similar thing, if this is accepted, we must fix
the driver too.
V3: fix the same issue in alloc_skb_with_frags as pointed out by Eric
V2: make the changelog clearer
