2024-12-05netmem: add a couple of page helper wrappersAlexander Lobakin
Add the following netmem counterparts: * virt_to_netmem() -- simple page_to_netmem(virt_to_page()) wrapper; * netmem_is_pfmemalloc() -- page_is_pfmemalloc() for page-backed netmems, false otherwise; and the following "unsafe" versions: * __netmem_to_page() * __netmem_get_pp() * __netmem_address() They do the same as their non-underscored buddies, but assume the netmem is always page-backed. When working with header &page_pools, you don't need to check whether netmem belongs to the host memory and you can never get NULL instead of &page. Checks for the LSB, clearing the LSB, branches take cycles and increase object code size, sometimes significantly. When you're sure your PP is always host, you can avoid this by using the underscored counterparts.

2024-09-11page_pool: devmem supportMina Almasry
Convert netmem to be a union of struct page and struct netmem. Overload the LSB of struct netmem* to indicate that it's a net_iov, otherwise it's a page. Currently these entries in struct page are rented by the page_pool and used exclusively by the net stack: struct { unsigned long pp_magic; struct page_pool *pp; unsigned long _pp_mapping_pad; unsigned long dma_addr; atomic_long_t pp_ref_count; }; Mirror these (and only these) entries into struct net_iov and implement netmem helpers that can access these common fields regardless of whether the underlying type is page or net_iov. Implement checks for net_iov in netmem helpers which delegate to mm APIs, to ensure net_iov are never passed to the mm stack.

2024-09-11netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdeviceMina Almasry
Add a netdev_dmabuf_binding struct which represents the dma-buf-to-netdevice binding. The netlink API will bind the dma-buf to rx queues on the netdevice. On the binding, the dma_buf_attach & dma_buf_map_attachment will occur. The entries in the sg_table from mapping will be inserted into a genpool to make it ready for allocation. The chunks in the genpool are owned by a dmabuf_chunk_owner struct which holds the dma-buf offset of the base of the chunk and the dma_addr of the chunk. Both are needed to use allocations that come from this chunk. We create a new type that represents an allocation from the genpool: net_iov. We setup the net_iov allocation size in the genpool to PAGE_SIZE for simplicity: to match the PAGE_SIZE normally allocated by the page pool and given to the drivers. The user can unbind the dmabuf from the netdevice by closing the netlink socket that established the binding. We do this so that the binding is automatically unbound even if the userspace process crashes. The binding and unbinding leaves an indicator in struct netdev_rx_queue that the given queue is bound, and the binding is actuated by resetting the rx queue using the queue API. The netdev_dmabuf_binding struct is refcounted, and releases its resources only when all the refs are released.

2024-07-02page_pool: convert to use netmemMina Almasry
Abstract the memory type from the page_pool so we can later add support for new memory types. Convert the page_pool to use the new netmem type abstraction, rather than use struct page directly. As of this patch the netmem type is a no-op abstraction: it's always a struct page underneath. All the page pool internals are converted to use struct netmem instead of struct page, and the page pool now exports 2 APIs: 1. The existing struct page API. 2. The new struct netmem API. Keeping the existing API is transitional; we do not want to refactor all the current drivers using the page pool at once. The netmem abstraction is currently a no-op. The page_pool uses page_to_netmem() to convert allocated pages to netmem, and uses netmem_to_page() to convert the netmem back to pages to pass to mm APIs, Follow up patches to this series add non-paged netmem support to the page_pool. This change is factored out on its own to limit the code churn to this 1 patch, for ease of code review.

2024-02-20net: introduce abstraction for network memoryMina Almasry
Add the netmem_ref type, an abstraction for network memory. To add support for new memory types to the net stack, we must first abstract the current memory type. Currently parts of the net stack use struct page directly: - page_pool - drivers - skb_frag_t Originally the plan was to reuse struct page* for the new memory types, and to set the LSB on the page* to indicate it's not really a page. However, for compiler type checking we need to introduce a new type. netmem_ref is introduced to abstract the underlying memory type. Currently it's a no-op abstraction that is always a struct page underneath. In parallel there is an undergoing effort to add support for devmem to the net stack: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231208005250.2910004-1-almasrymina@google.com/ netmem_ref can be pointers to different underlying memory types, and the low bits are set to indicate the memory type. Helpers are provided to convert netmem pointers to the underlying memory type (currently only struct page). In the devmem series helpers are provided so that calling code can use netmem without worrying about the underlying memory type unless absolutely necessary.
