is only available if the kernel has been configured with

caller can then report those stats to the user (perhaps via ethtool,

Stats API and structures
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
If the kernel is configured with ``CONFIG_PAGE_POOL_STATS=y``, the API
|
||||
``page_pool_get_stats()`` and structures described below are available. It
|
||||
takes a pointer to a ``struct page_pool`` and a pointer to a ``struct
|
||||
page_pool_stats`` allocated by the caller.
|
||||
|
||||
The API will fill in the provided ``struct page_pool_stats`` with
|
||||
statistics about the page_pool.
|
||||
|
||||
The stats structure has the following fields::
|
||||
|
||||
struct page_pool_stats {
|
||||
struct page_pool_alloc_stats alloc_stats;
|
||||
struct page_pool_recycle_stats recycle_stats;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The ``struct page_pool_alloc_stats`` has the following fields:
|
||||
* ``fast``: successful fast path allocations
|
||||
* ``slow``: slow path order-0 allocations
|
||||
* ``slow_high_order``: slow path high order allocations
|
||||
* ``empty``: ptr ring is empty, so a slow path allocation was forced.
|
||||
* ``refill``: an allocation which triggered a refill of the cache
|
||||
* ``waive``: pages obtained from the ptr ring that cannot be added to
|
||||
the cache due to a NUMA mismatch.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``struct page_pool_recycle_stats`` has the following fields:
|
||||
* ``cached``: recycling placed page in the page pool cache
|
||||
* ``cache_full``: page pool cache was full
|
||||
* ``ring``: page placed into the ptr ring
|
||||
* ``ring_full``: page released from page pool because the ptr ring was full
|
||||
* ``released_refcnt``: page released (and not recycled) because refcnt > 1
