I am guessing you added this to try and speed up the fast path? It's
overly restrictive for us since we do not need dmabuf necessarily. I
spent a bit too much time wondering why things aren't working only to
find this :(

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

Feels a bit flimsy, if the argument is that you want to be able
to disable netmem overhead, then adding a netmem config option
sounds like a better way forward.

I have doubts this conditional handling is desirable in the first
place, but perhaps I missed the discussion.

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.
