page_pool: store detach_time as ktime_t to avoid false-negatives

2026-03-11T02:03:34+00:00

While testing other changes in vng I noticed that nl_netdev.page_pool_check flakes. This never happens in real CI. Turns out vng may boot and get to that test in less than a second. page_pool_detached() records the detach time in seconds, so if vng is fast enough detach time is set to 0. Other code treats 0 as "not detached". detach_time is only used to report the state to the user, so it's not a huge deal in practice but let's fix it. Store the raw ktime_t (nanoseconds) instead. A nanosecond value of 0 is practically impossible.

net: page_pool: don't cast mp param to devmem

2025-02-07T00:27:30+00:00

page_pool_check_memory_provider() is a generic path and shouldn't assume anything about the actual type of the memory provider argument. It's fine while devmem is the only provider, but cast away the devmem specific binding types to avoid confusion.

net: page_pool: don't try to stash the napi id

2025-01-27T22:37:41+00:00

Page ppol tried to cache the NAPI ID in page pool info to avoid having a dependency on the life cycle of the NAPI instance. Since commit under Fixes the NAPI ID is not populated until napi_enable() and there's a good chance that page pool is created before NAPI gets enabled. Protect the NAPI pointer with the existing page pool mutex, the reading path already holds it. napi_id itself we need to READ_ONCE(), it's protected by netdev_lock() which are not holding in page pool. Before this patch napi IDs were missing for mlx5: # ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/netdev.yaml --dump page-pool-get [{'id': 144, 'ifindex': 2, 'inflight': 3072, 'inflight-mem': 12582912}, {'id': 143, 'ifindex': 2, 'inflight': 5568, 'inflight-mem': 22806528}, {'id': 142, 'ifindex': 2, 'inflight': 5120, 'inflight-mem': 20971520}, {'id': 141, 'ifindex': 2, 'inflight': 4992, 'inflight-mem': 20447232}, ...

memory-provider: dmabuf devmem memory provider

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

Implement a memory provider that allocates dmabuf devmem in the form of net_iov. The provider receives a reference to the struct netdev_dmabuf_binding via the pool->mp_priv pointer. The driver needs to set this pointer for the provider in the net_iov. The provider obtains a reference on the netdev_dmabuf_binding which guarantees the binding and the underlying mapping remains alive until the provider is destroyed. Usage of PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP is required for this memory provide such that the page_pool can provide the driver with the dma-addrs of the devmem. Support for PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is omitted for simplicity & p.order != 0.

netdev: let netlink core handle -EMSGSIZE errors

2024-03-06T08:07:44+00:00

Previous change added -EMSGSIZE handling to af_netlink, we don't have to hide these errors any longer. Theoretically the error handling changes from: if (err == -EMSGSIZE) to if (err == -EMSGSIZE && skb->len) everywhere, but in practice it doesn't matter. All messages fit into NLMSG_GOODSIZE, so overflow of an empty skb cannot happen. Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

page_pool: fix netlink dump stop/resume

If message fills up we need to stop writing. 'break' will only get us out of the iteration over pools of a single netdev, we need to also stop walking netdevs. This results in either infinite dump, or missing pools, depending on whether message full happens on the last netdev (infinite dump) or non-last (missing pools).
