When compound pages are enabled, although the mm layer still
returns an array of page pointers, a subset (or all) of them
may have the same page head since a max 180kb skb can span 2
hugepages if it is on the boundary, be a mix of pages and 1 hugepage,
or fit completely in a hugepage. Instead of referencing page head
on all page pointers, use page length arithmetic to only call page
head when referencing a known different page head to avoid touching
a cold cacheline.
Tested:
See next patch with changes to tcp_mmap
Correntess:
On a pair of separate hosts as send with MSG_ZEROCOPY will
force a copy on tx if using loopback alone, check that the SHA
on the message sent is equivalent to checksum on the message received,
since the current program already checks for the length.
echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
./tcp_mmap -s -z
./tcp_mmap -H $DADDR -z
SHA256 is correct
