[PATCH net-next 3/6] mm/page_alloc: use initial zero offset for page_frag_alloc_align()

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 04:58:57 EST


The next patch is above to use page_frag_alloc_align() to
replace vhost_net_page_frag_refill(), the main difference
between those two frag page implementations is whether we
use a initial zero offset or not.

It seems more nature to use a initial zero offset, as it
may enable more correct cache prefetching and skb frag
coalescing in the networking, so change it to use initial
zero offset.
