[PATCH v5 RFC 1/6] page_pool: frag API support for 32-bit arch with 64-bit DMA

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Thu Jun 29 2023 - 08:06:16 EST


Currently page_pool_alloc_frag() is not supported in 32-bit
arch with 64-bit DMA because of the overlap issue between
pp_frag_count and dma_addr_upper in 'struct page' for those
arches, which seems to be quite common, see [1], which means
driver may need to handle it when using frag API.

In order to simplify the driver's work when using frag API
this patch allows page_pool_alloc_frag() to call
page_pool_alloc_pages() to return pages for those arches.

mlx5 calls page_pool_create() with PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG and is not
using the frag API, and the PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG checking will now
be removed in this patch, a new checking for the mlx5 driver is
needed to retain the old behavior. As we have not come up with a
better name yet, so PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT is reused
here.

Note that it may aggravate truesize underestimate problem for
skb as there is no page splitting for those pages, if driver
need a accurate truesize, it may calculate that according to
frag size, page order and PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT
being true or not. And we may provide a helper for that if it
turns out to be helpful.
