Running the page-pool sample on production machines under moderate
networking load shows recycling rate higher than 100%:
$ page-pool
eth0[2] page pools: 14 (zombies: 0)
refs: 89088 bytes: 364904448 (refs: 0 bytes: 0)
recycling: 100.3% (alloc: 1392:2290247724 recycle: 469289484:1828235386)
Note that outstanding refs (89088) == slow alloc * cache size (1392 * 64)
which means this machine is recycling page pool pages perfectly, not
a single page has been released.
The extra 0.3% is because sample ignores allocations from the ptr_ring.
Treat those the same as alloc_fast, the ring vs cache alloc is
already captured accurately enough by recycling stats.
With the fix:
$ page-pool
eth0[2] page pools: 14 (zombies: 0)
refs: 89088 bytes: 364904448 (refs: 0 bytes: 0)
recycling: 100.0% (alloc: 1392:2331141604 recycle: 473625579:1857460661)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
