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.

RFCv5:
- 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.

I wonder if it would be better to extract a common sub-struct
used in struct page, struct_group_tagged can help to avoid
touching old code:
struct page {
unsigned long flags;
union {
...
struct_group_tagged(<struct_name>, ...,
/**
* @pp_magic: magic value to avoid recycling non
* page_pool allocated pages.
*/
unsigned long pp_magic;
struct page_pool *pp;
unsigned long _pp_mapping_pad;
unsigned long dma_addr;
atomic_long_t pp_ref_count;
);
};
}
struct net_iov {
unsigned long pad;
struct <struct_name> p;
};
A bit of a churn with the padding and nesting net_iov but looks
sturdier. No duplication, and you can just check positions of the
structure instead of per-field NET_IOV_ASSERT_OFFSET, which you
have to not forget to update e.g. when adding a new field. Also,
with the change __netmem_clear_lsb can return a pointer to that
structure, casting struct net_iov when it's a page is a bit iffy.
And the next question would be whether it'd be a good idea to encode
iov vs page not by setting a bit but via one of the fields in the
structure, maybe pp_magic.
With that said I'm a bit concerned about the net_iov size. If each
represents 4096 bytes and you're registering 10MB, then you need
30 pages worth of memory just for the iov array. Makes kvmalloc
a must even for relatively small sizes.
And the final bit, I don't believe the overlay is necessary in
this series. Optimisations are great, but this one is a bit more on
the controversial side. Unless I missed something and it does make
things easier, it might make sense to do it separately later.
