[PATCH vhost v1 3/7] virtio_net: replace private by pp struct inside page

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

 



Now, we chain the pages of big mode by the page's private variable.
But a subsequent patch aims to make the big mode to support
premapped mode. This requires additional space to store the dma addr.

Within the sub-struct that contains the 'private', there is no suitable
variable for storing the DMA addr.

		struct {	/* Page cache and anonymous pages */
			/**
			 * @lru: Pageout list, eg. active_list protected by
			 * lruvec->lru_lock.  Sometimes used as a generic list
			 * by the page owner.
			 */
			union {
				struct list_head lru;

				/* Or, for the Unevictable "LRU list" slot */
				struct {
					/* Always even, to negate PageTail */
					void *__filler;
					/* Count page's or folio's mlocks */
					unsigned int mlock_count;
				};

				/* Or, free page */
				struct list_head buddy_list;
				struct list_head pcp_list;
			};
			/* See page-flags.h for PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS */
			struct address_space *mapping;
			union {
				pgoff_t index;		/* Our offset within mapping. */
				unsigned long share;	/* share count for fsdax */
			};
			/**
			 * @private: Mapping-private opaque data.
			 * Usually used for buffer_heads if PagePrivate.
			 * Used for swp_entry_t if PageSwapCache.
			 * Indicates order in the buddy system if PageBuddy.
			 */
			unsigned long private;
		};

But within the page pool struct, we have a variable called
dma_addr that is appropriate for storing dma addr.
And that struct is used by netstack. That works to our advantage.

		struct {	/* page_pool used by netstack */
			/**
			 * @pp_magic: magic value to avoid recycling non
			 * page_pool allocated pages.
			 */
			unsigned long pp_magic;
			struct page_pool *pp;
			unsigned long _pp_mapping_pad;
			unsigned long dma_addr;
			atomic_long_t pp_ref_count;
		};

On the other side, we should use variables from the same sub-struct.
So this patch replaces the "private" with "pp".
