Most of the time during the RX is caused by the compound_head() call
done at the end of the RX loop:
│ build_skb():
[...]
│ static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page)
│ {
│ unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page->compound_head);
65.23 │ ldr x2, [x1, #8]
Prefetch the page struct as soon as possible, to speedup the RX path
noticeabily by a ~3-4% packet rate in a drop test.
│ build_skb():
[...]
│ static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page)
│ {
│ unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page->compound_head);
17.92 │ ldr x2, [x1, #8]

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.
