[RFC PATCH net-next v7 07/14] page_pool: devmem support

From: Mina Almasry
Date: Tue Mar 26 2024 - 18:54:40 EST


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.

Signed-off-by: Mina Almasry <almasrymina@xxxxxxxxxx>

---

v7:
- Remove static_branch_unlikely from netmem_to_net_iov(). We're getting
better results from the fast path in bench_page_pool_simple tests
without the static_branch_unlikely, and the addition of
static_branch_unlikely doesn't improve performance of devmem TCP.

Additionally only check netmem_to_net_iov() if
CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER is enabled, otherwise dmabuf net_iovs cannot
exist anyway.

net-next base: 8 cycle fast path.
with static_branch_unlikely: 10 cycle fast path.
without static_branch_unlikely: 9 cycle fast path.
CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled: 8 cycle fast path as baseline.

Performance of devmem TCP is at 95% line rate is regardless of
static_branch_unlikely or not.

v6:
- Rebased on top of the merged netmem_ref type.
- Rebased on top of the merged skb_pp_frag_ref() changes.

v5:
- Use netmem instead of page* with LSB set.
- Use pp_ref_count for refcounting net_iov.
- Removed many of the custom checks for netmem.

v1:
- Disable fragmentation support for iov properly.
- fix napi_pp_put_page() path (Yunsheng).
- Use pp_frag_count for devmem refcounting.
