This series was original by a bug fix in nvme-over-tcp driver which only
checked whether a page was allocated from slab allcoator, but forgot to
check its page_count: The page handled by sendpage should be neither a
Slab page nor 0 page_count page.
As Sagi Grimberg suggested, the original fix is refind to a more common
inline routine:
static inline bool sendpage_ok(struct page *page)
{
return (!PageSlab(page) && page_count(page) >= 1);
}
If sendpage_ok() returns true, the checking page can be handled by the
concrete zero-copy sendpage method in network layer.
The v9 series has 7 patches, no change from v8 series,
- The 1st patch in this series introduces sendpage_ok() in header file
include/linux/net.h.
- The 2nd patch adds WARN_ONCE() for improper zero-copy send in
kernel_sendpage().
- The 3rd patch fixes the page checking issue in nvme-over-tcp driver.
- The 4th patch adds page_count check by using sendpage_ok() in
do_tcp_sendpages() as Eric Dumazet suggested.
- The 5th and 6th patches just replace existing open coded checks with
the inline sendpage_ok() routine.
