[RFC PATCH 09/10] memory-provider: updates core provider API for devmem TCP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Implement a few updates to Jakub's RFC memory provider API to make it
suitable for device memory TCP:

1. Currently for devmem TCP the driver's netdev_rx_queue holds a reference to
   the dma_buf_pages struct and needs to pass that to the page_pool's memory
   provider somehow. For PoC purposes, create a pp->mp_priv field that is set
   by the driver. Likely needs a better API (likely dependant on the
   general memory provider API).

2. The current memory_provider API gives the memory_provider the option
   to override put_page(), but tries page_pool_clear_pp_info() after the
   memory provider has released the page. IMO if the page freeing is
   delegated to the provider then the page_pool should not modify the
   page after release_page() has been called.
