Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v2 2/2] idpf: use GFP_KERNEL for the initial Rx ring fill
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:06:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019210604.2433620-3-lrizzo@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019210604.2433620-1-lrizzo@google.com>

When idpf fills its Rx rings at open or on queue reconfiguration, the
allocation runs in process context, right after page_pool_create() and
before the queues' NAPI is enabled. Allocating tens of thousands of
buffers across all queues with GFP_ATOMIC is needlessly restrictive
when the caller may sleep.

In splitq mode, idpf_rx_post_buf_desc() is only used for this initial
fill, so switch its header and payload allocations to
libeth_rx_alloc_gfp(..., GFP_KERNEL).

In singleq mode, add a gfp_t parameter to
idpf_rx_singleq_buf_hw_alloc_all() and pass GFP_KERNEL from
idpf_rx_buf_alloc_singleq() and GFP_ATOMIC from idpf_rx_singleq_clean().
