Feng Tang reported a performance regression after introduction
of per TCP socket tx/rx caches, for TCP over loopback (netperf)
There is high chance the regression is caused by a change on
how well the 32 KB per-thread page (current->task_frag) can
be recycled, and lack of pcp caches for order-3 pages.
I could not reproduce the regression myself, cpus all being
spinning on the mm spinlocks for page allocs/freeing, regardless
of enabling or disabling the per tcp socket caches.
It seems best to disable the feature by default, and let
admins enabling it.
MM layer either needs to provide scalable order-3 pages
allocations, or could attempt a trylock on zone->lock if
the caller only attempts to get a high-order page and is
able to fallback to order-0 ones in case of pressure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
