net: attempt high order allocations in sock_alloc_send_pskb()
Adding paged frags skbs to af_unix sockets introduced a performance
regression on large sends because of additional page allocations, even
if each skb could carry at least 100% more payload than before.
We can instruct sock_alloc_send_pskb() to attempt high order
allocations.
Most of the time, it does a single page allocation instead of 8.
I added an additional parameter to sock_alloc_send_pskb() to
let other users to opt-in for this new feature on followup patches.
Tested:
Before patch :
$ netperf -t STREAM_STREAM
STREAM STREAM TEST
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
2304 212992 212992 10.00 46861.15
After patch :
$ netperf -t STREAM_STREAM
STREAM STREAM TEST
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
