[PATCH net-next v4 1/5] page_pool: frag API support for 32-bit arch with 64-bit DMA
Posted by Yunsheng Lin 1 year, 3 months ago
Currently page_pool_alloc_frag() is not supported in 32-bit
arch with 64-bit DMA, which seems to be quite common, see
[1], which means driver may need to handle it when using
page_pool_alloc_frag() API.

In order to simplify the driver's work for supporting page
frag, this patch allows page_pool_alloc_frag() to call
page_pool_alloc_pages() to return a big page frag without
page splitting because of overlap issue between pp_frag_count
and dma_addr_upper in 'struct page' for those arches.

As page_pool_create() with PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG is supported in
32-bit arch with 64-bit DMA now, mlx5 calls page_pool_create()
with PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG and manipulate the page->pp_frag_count
directly using the page_pool_defrag_page(), so add a checking
for it to aoivd writing to page->pp_frag_count that may not
exist in some arch.

Note that it may aggravate truesize underestimate problem for
skb as there is no page splitting for those pages, if driver
need a accuate 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.

it returns an entire (potentially compound) page, not a frag.

I don't see any direct access to pp_frag_count anywhere outside of
page_pool.h in net-next. PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT sounds like 
an internal flag, drivers shouldn't be looking at it, IMO.

As driver calls page_pool_alloc_frag(), and page_pool_alloc_frag()
calls page_pool_alloc_pages(), page_pool_alloc_pages() is hidden
inside page_pool_alloc_frag(), so it is a big page frag from driver's
point of view:)

Perhaps something like below?
mlx5 calls page_pool_create() with PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG and is
not using the frag API, as PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG checking for arch
with PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT being true will now be
removed in this patch, so add back the checking of
PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT for mlx5 driver to retain the
old behavior, which is to avoid mlx5e_page_release_fragmented()
calling page_pool_defrag_page() to write to page->pp_frag_count.

mlx5e_page_release_fragmented() calls page_pool_defrag_page(), maybe
below is more correct:

/* Return error here to avoid mlx5e_page_release_fragmented() calling
 * page_pool_defrag_page() to write to page->pp_frag_count which is

*/

I am agree with you about that drivers shouldn't be looking at it. But
adding PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT checking back to mlx5 seems to be
the simplest way I can think of because of the reason mentioned above.

And it seems that it is hard to change mlx5 to use frag API according to
the below disscusion with Alexander:

frag​ment : a part broken off, detached, or incomplete
          a small part broken or separated off something.

"big fragment" is definitely not the whole thing.

That's a 7-line long, single sentence. Not much better.

It's better to add a flag like PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG for this use case and
have pool creation fail than poke at internals in the driver, IMO.

Alexander susgested something as below:
non-fragmented - legacy page pool w/o page frags
mono-frag - after this page page pool w/o frags
fragmented - before/after this patch w/ frags

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20230529092840.40413-3-linyunsheng@huawei.com/#25366535

Does 'mono-frag' make sense to you? or any better name in
mind?

I had the same feeling when I was typing:(

Jesper also had the similiar comment about that, but we decided to postpone
that because of the naming, any better name for that flag in mind?

maybe something as:
PP_FLAG_DRIVER_FRAG_HANDLING?

This include is redundant now that you include dma-mapping.h.

> +#include <linux/dma-mapping.h>

As Jakub previously mentioned, this involves including dma-mapping.h,
which is relatively heavy, to each source file which includes skbuff.h,
i.e. almost the whole kernel :D
I addressed this in my series, which I hope will land soon after yours
(sending new revision in 24-48 hours), so you can leave it as it is. Or
otherwise you can pick my solution (or come up with your own :D).

I am not sure I understand the part about 'includes skbuff.h' yet, it seems
'skbuff.h' does not have anything related to this patch?

Do you mean by removing "#include <linux/dma-direction.h>" as dma-mapping.h
has included dma-direction.h?
But I am not sure if there is any hard rule about not explicitly including
a .h which is implicitly included. What if the dma-mapping.h is changed to not
include dma-direction.h anymore?

Anyway, it seems it is unlikely to not include dma-direction.h in dma-mapping.h,
Will remove the "#include <linux/dma-direction.h>" if there is another version
needed for this patchset:)

By "I addressed" I meant that I dropped including page_pool.h from
skbuff.h, as I also had to include dma-mapping.h to page_pool.h and this
implied that half of the kernel started including dma-mapping.h as well
for no profit.

No hard rule, but I don't see a reason for redundant includes. I usually
try to keep include lists as small as possible.

I see, thank for the explanation.
I perfer that you can continue with that effort if that is ok.

Sure. Especially since I based my series on top of yours :)

$ git grep net/page_pool.h -- include/linux/skbuff.h
include/linux/skbuff.h:#include <net/page_pool.h>

The point is that we don't want commonly included headers to pull
in huge dependencies. Please run the preprocessor on
linux/dma-direction.h, you'll see how enormous it is.
