mm: page_frag: use initial zero offset for page_frag_alloc_align()
We are about to use page_frag_alloc_*() API to not just allocate memory for skb->data, but also use them to do the memory allocation for skb frag too. Currently the implementation of page_frag in mm subsystem is running the offset as a countdown rather than count-up value, there may have several advantages to that as mentioned in [1], but it may have some disadvantages, for example, it may disable skb frag coalescing and more correct cache prefetching We have a trade-off to make in order to have a unified implementation and API for page_frag, so use a initial zero offset in this patch, and the following patch will try to make some optimization to avoid the disadvantages as much as possible. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/all/f4abe71b3439b39d17a6fb2d410180f367cadf5c.camel@gmail.com/ CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Linux-MM <linux-mm@kvack.org> Signed-off-by:Yunsheng Lin <linyunsheng@huawei.com> Reviewed-by:
