Hi, Alexander

Thanks for detailed reviewing.

Yes, the expectation is changed to we can always recycle the page
when the last user has dropped the refcnt that has given to it when
the page is not pfmemalloced.

The above expectation is based on that the last user will always
call page_pool_put_full_page() in order to do the recycling or do
the resource cleanup(dma unmaping..etc).

As the skb_free_head() and skb_release_data() have both checked the
skb->pp_recycle to call the page_pool_put_full_page() if needed, I
think we are safe for most case, the one case I am not so sure above
is the rx zero copy, which seems to also bump up the refcnt before
mapping the page to user space, we might need to ensure rx zero copy
is not the last user of the page or if it is the last user, make sure
it calls page_pool_put_full_page() too.

There is still page->pp_magic that decides if the page is from
page_pool or not.

I am not sure I understood the above.

As page reusing in hns3 driver, pagecnt_bias means how many refcnt the
driver is holding, and (page_count(cb->priv) - pagecnt_bias) means how
many refcnt the stack is holding, see [1].

static bool hns3_can_reuse_page(struct hns3_desc_cb *cb)
{
	return (page_count(cb->priv) - cb->pagecnt_bias) == 1;
}

checking (page_count(cb->priv) - cb->pagecnt_bias) again one instead
of zero is in hns3_can_reuse_page because there is "pagecnt_bias--"
before checking hns3_can_reuse_page() in hns3_nic_reuse_page().

"pagecnt_bias--" means the driver gives the one of its refcnt to the
stack, it is the stack'job to release the refcnt when the skb is passed
to the stack.

I think page pool has already handled the above case if I understand
correctly, see page_pool_release().

Yes, that is a great idea. I like it very much supposing page refcnt
updating batching for 'PAGE_SIZE - 1" is enough for performance sake.

Will take a look about it.

Acctually skb->pp_recycle is kind of duplicated, as there is
still page->pp_magic to avoid recycling the page frags twice.

The argument above adding skb->pp_recycle seems to be short
cut code path for non-page_pool case in the previous disscusion,
see [2].

Will do the wrapping first:)

I am not sure I understood what "we dropped the page" meant.
The driver does not really need to call page_pool_put_full_page()
if the page of a skb is passed to stack, the driver mainly call
page_pool_put_full_page() when unloading or uniniting when the page
is not passed to stack yet.

I suppose "having multiple buffers received off of a single page" mean:
use first half of a page for a desc, and the second half of the same page
for another desc, intead of ping-pong way of reusing implemented in most
driver currently?

I am not so familiar with XDP to understand the latter part of comment too.

The DMA mappings invalidating is based on the pool->p.dev, is there
any reason why the DMA mappings need invalidating when skb->dev is
change, as fast I can tell, the tx is not aware of page pool, so
when the skb is redirected, the page of the skb is always DMA mapped
according to skb->dev before xmitting.

Or it is about XDP redirected?

Is there something obvious I missed here?

Let's see if repurposing the lower 12 bits of the dma address make sense?

Yes, it is about batching the page_ref_inc() operation.

When allocating a page for frag, we have decided how many user is using
the page, that is the "page_pool_sub_bias(frag_page, max_len / frag_size - 1)"
in page_pool_alloc_frag().

so it is up to the driver or stack to do multi page_pool_put_full_page()
calling for the same page.
Or the page pool will call page_pool_put_full_page() in page_pool_empty_frag()
if some of the page frag is not allocated to the driver yet.

It seems you are suggesting a slightly different way to do frag reusing.

It seems we have different understanding about pagecnt_bias here,
as the pagecnt_bias is hidden in the page pool now, the subtracting
here mean we give one refcnt to the caller of page_pool_alloc_pages(),
And in page_pool_alloc_frag(), we give different part of page to the
driver, so it means more user too, so there is also subtracting in the
page_pool_alloc_frag() too.

As mention above, we are depending on the last user to do the
recycling or freeing the unused references.

Let's align the understanding of pagecnt_bias first?

pagecnt_bias meant how many refcnt of a page belong to the page
pool, and (page_ref_count() - pagecnt_bias) means how many refcnt
of a page belong to user of the page pool.

As mentioned above, division is used to find out how many user may be
using the page.

Is it ok to rely on the user providing a aligning frag_size, so
that do not need handling it here?

As reference count is handled atomically is page_pool_bias_page_recyclable,
and pagecnt_bias is changed before any page is handled to the stack(maybe
some READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE or barrier is still needed, will check it again),
so I suppose the ordering is correct?
