To eliminate the use of struct page in page pool, the page pool users
should use netmem descriptor and APIs instead.
Make xdp access ->pp through netmem_desc instead of page.

Oh. page_pool_page_is_pp() in the mainline code already has this issue
that the helper cannot take const struct page * as argument.
How should we resolve the issue? Changing page_pool_page_is_pp() to
macro and using _Generic again looks too much. Or should we? Any idea?

option 1. Remove 'const' on declaration of struct page in
libeth_xdp_prepare_buff() but maybe bad.
option 2. Use __pp_page_to_nmdesc() instead of pp_page_to_nmdesc() in
libeth_xdp_prepare_buff() to skip checking if it's a pp page.
option 3. Change page_pool_page_is_pp() to macro and use _Generic to
cover const casting.
More?

And your problem > is caused by the is_pp check in pp_page_to_nmdesc(). Exactly, but you asked me to add the check, DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(!page_pool_page_is_pp(p)) in pp_page_to_nmdesc(). What I meant was, in order to apply that, page_pool_page_is_pp() should take 'const struct page *' as argument. I think it's good idea to change the proto type like, as you said: static inline bool page_pool_page_is_pp(const struct page *page); Thanks. Byungchul > > -- > Pavel Begunkov >
