mlx4: allow order-0 memory allocations in RX path
Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
mlx4 exclusively uses order-2 allocations in RX path, which are
likely to fail under memory pressure.
We therefore drop frames more than needed.
This patch tries order-3, order-2, order-1 and finally order-0
allocations to keep good performance, yet allow allocations if/when
memory gets fragmented.
By using larger pages, and avoiding unnecessary get_page()/put_page()
on compound pages, this patch improves performance as well, lowering
false sharing on struct page.
Also use GFP_KERNEL allocations in initialization path, as allocating 12
MB (390 order-3 pages) can easily fail with GFP_ATOMIC.
