net: define an enum for the napi threaded state

Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual NAPI

2025-07-15T01:02:37+00:00

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded NAPI polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink. Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI context. Add a test in `nl_netdev.py` that verifies various cases of threaded NAPI being set at NAPI and at device level.

Add a per-NAPI IRQ suspension parameter, which can be get/set with netdev-genl. This patch doesn't change any behavior but prepares the code for other changes in the following commits which use irq_suspend_timeout as a timeout for IRQ suspension.

tools: ynl-gen: use names of constants in generated limits

2024-10-15T11:06:49+00:00

YNL specs can use string expressions for limits, like s32-min or u16-max. We convert all of those into their numeric values when generating the code, which isn't always helpful. Try to retain the string representations in the output. Any sort of calculations still need the integers.

netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdevice

2024-09-12T03:44:31+00:00

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.
