SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC 0/7] add socket to netdev page frag recycling support

I really do not see how this can scale to thousands of sockets.

tcp_mem[] defaults to ~ 9 % of physical memory.

If you now run tests with thousands of sockets, their skbs will
consume Gigabytes
of memory on typical servers, now backed by order-0 pages (instead of
current order-3 pages)
So IOMMU costs will actually be much bigger.

Are we planning to use Gigabyte sized page pools for NIC ?

Have you tried instead to make TCP frags twice bigger ?
This would require less IOMMU mappings.
(Note: This could require some mm help, since PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
is currently 3, not 4)
