net: add helper to pre-check if PP for an Rx queue will be unreadable

2025-09-04T08:19:17+00:00

mlx5 pokes into the rxq state to check if the queue has a memory provider, and therefore whether it may produce unreadable mem. Add a helper for doing this in the page pool API. fbnic will want a similar thing (tho, for a slightly different reason).

net: page_pool: add page_pool_get()

2025-08-21T15:03:54+00:00

There is a page_pool_put() function but no get equivalent. Having multiple references to a page pool is quite useful. It avoids branching in create / destroy paths in drivers which support memory providers. Use the new helper in bnxt.

page_pool: make page_pool_get_dma_addr() just wrap page_pool_get_dma_addr_netmem()

2025-07-08T01:40:10+00:00

The page pool members in struct page cannot be removed unless it's not allowed to access any of them via struct page. Do not access 'page->dma_addr' directly in page_pool_get_dma_addr() but just wrap page_pool_get_dma_addr_netmem() safely.

eth: bnxt: add support rx side device memory TCP

2025-04-17T01:17:57+00:00

Currently, bnxt_en driver satisfies the requirements of the Device memory TCP, which is HDS. So, it implements rx-side Device memory TCP for bnxt_en driver. It requires only converting the page API to netmem API. `struct page` of agg rings are changed to `netmem_ref netmem` and corresponding functions are changed to a variant of netmem API. It also passes PP_FLAG_ALLOW_UNREADABLE_NETMEM flag to a parameter of page_pool. The netmem will be activated only when a user requests devmem TCP. When netmem is activated, received data is unreadable and netmem is disabled, received data is readable. But drivers don't need to handle both cases because netmem core API will handle it properly. So, using proper netmem API is enough for drivers. Device memory TCP can be tested with tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/hw/ncdevmem. This is tested with BCM57504-N425G and firmware version 232.0.155.8/pkg 232.1.132.8.

net: make page_pool_ref_netmem work with net iovs

2025-01-16T02:44:30+00:00

page_pool_ref_netmem() should work with either netmem representation, but currently it casts to a page with netmem_to_page(), which will fail with net iovs. Use netmem_get_pp_ref_count_ref() instead.

net: page_pool: rename page_pool_is_last_ref()

2024-12-18T01:45:17+00:00

page_pool_is_last_ref() releases a reference while the name, to me at least, suggests it just checks if the refcount is 1. The semantics of the function are the same as those of atomic_dec_and_test() and refcount_dec_and_test(), so just use the _and_test() suffix.

page_pool: disable sync for cpu for dmabuf memory provider

2024-12-13T02:49:08+00:00

dmabuf dma-addresses should not be dma_sync'd for CPU/device. Typically its the driver responsibility to dma_sync for CPU, but the driver should not dma_sync for CPU if the netmem is actually coming from a dmabuf memory provider. The page_pool already exposes a helper for dma_sync_for_cpu: page_pool_dma_sync_for_cpu. Upgrade this existing helper to handle netmem, and have it skip dma_sync if the memory is from a dmabuf memory provider. Drivers should migrate to using this helper when adding support for netmem. Also minimize the impact on the dma syncing performance for pages. Special case the dma-sync path for pages to not go through the overhead checks for dma-syncing and conversion to netmem.
