My apologies, I'll try to put the changelog somewhere prominent, or
notify you when I do something that I think breaks you.
Yes, this is a by-product of a discussion with regards to the
page_pool benchmark regressions due to adding devmem. There is some
background on why this was added and the impact on the
bench_page_pool_simple tests in the cover letter.
For you, I imagine you want to change this to something like:
#if defined(CONFIG_PAGE_POOL)
#if defined(CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER) || defined(CONFIG_IOURING)
or something like that, right? Not sure if this is something I should
do here or if something more appropriate to be in the patches you
apply on top.
I additionally think you may also need to run the
page_pool_benchmark_simple tests like I do in the cover letter to see
if you're affecting those.
