Functions starting with __ usually indicate those which are exported,
but should not be called directly. Update some of those declared in the
API and make it more readable.
page_pool_unmap_page() and page_pool_release_page() were doing
exactly the same thing calling __page_pool_clean_page(). Let's
rename __page_pool_clean_page() to page_pool_release_page() and
export it in order to show up on perf logs and get rid of
page_pool_unmap_page().
Finally rename __page_pool_put_page() to page_pool_put_page() since we
can now directly call it from drivers and rename the existing
page_pool_put_page() to page_pool_put_full_page() since they do the same
thing but the latter is trying to sync the full DMA area.
This patch also updates netsec, mvneta and stmmac drivers which use
those functions.

When looking at the details I realised that the memory poison in
__xdp_mem_allocator_rcu_free doesn't make sense. This is because the
SLUB allocator uses the first 16 bytes (on 64 bit), for its freelist,
which overlap with members in struct xdp_mem_allocator, that were
updated. Thus, SLUB already does the "poisoning" for us.
I still believe that poisoning memory make sense in other cases.
Kernel have gained different use-after-free detection mechanism, but
enabling those is associated with a huge overhead. Experience is that
debugging facilities can change the timing so much, that that a race
condition will not be provoked when enabled. Thus, I'm still in favour
of poisoning memory where it makes sense.

The page pool keeps track of the number of pages in flight, and
it isn't safe to remove the pool until all pages are returned.
Disallow removing the pool until all pages are back, so the pool
is always available for page producers.
Make the page pool responsible for its own delayed destruction
instead of relying on XDP, so the page pool can be used without
the xdp memory model.
When all pages are returned, free the pool and notify xdp if the
pool is registered with the xdp memory system. Have the callback
perform a table walk since some drivers (cpsw) may share the pool
among multiple xdp_rxq_info.
Note that the increment of pages_state_release_cnt may result in
inflight == 0, resulting in the pool being released.

Jesper recently removed page_pool_destroy() (from driver invocation)
and moved shutdown and free of page_pool into xdp_rxq_info_unreg(),
in-order to handle in-flight packets/pages. This created an asymmetry
in drivers create/destroy pairs.
This patch reintroduce page_pool_destroy and add page_pool user
refcnt. This serves the purpose to simplify drivers error handling as
driver now drivers always calls page_pool_destroy() and don't need to
track if xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() was unsuccessful.
This could be used for a special cases where a single RX-queue (with a
single page_pool) provides packets for two net_device'es, and thus
needs to register the same page_pool twice with two xdp_rxq_info
structures.
This patch is primarily to ease API usage for drivers. The recently
merged netsec driver, actually have a bug in this area, which is
solved by this API change.
This patch is a modified version of Ivan Khoronzhuk's original patch.

If bugs exists or are introduced later e.g. by drivers misusing the API,
then we want to warn about the issue, such that developer notice. This patch
will generate a bit of noise in form of periodic pr_warn every 30 seconds.
It is not nice to have this stall warning running forever. Thus, this patch
will (after 120 attempts) force disconnect the mem id (from the rhashtable)
and free the page_pool object. This will cause fallback to the put_page() as
before, which only potentially leak DMA-mappings, if objects are really

This patch is needed before we can allow drivers to use page_pool for
DMA-mappings. Today with page_pool and XDP return API, it is possible to
remove the page_pool object (from rhashtable), while there are still
in-flight packet-pages. This is safely handled via RCU and failed lookups in
__xdp_return() fallback to call put_page(), when page_pool object is gone.
In-case page is still DMA mapped, this will result in page note getting
correctly DMA unmapped.
To solve this, the page_pool is extended with tracking in-flight pages. And
XDP disconnect system queries page_pool and waits, via workqueue, for all
in-flight pages to be returned.
To avoid killing performance when tracking in-flight pages, the implement
use two (unsigned) counters, that in placed on different cache-lines, and
can be used to deduct in-flight packets. This is done by mapping the
unsigned "sequence" counters onto signed Two's complement arithmetic
operations. This is e.g. used by kernel's time_after macros, described in
kernel commit 1ba3aab303 and 5a581b367b, and also explained in RFC1982.
The trick is these two incrementing counters only need to be read and
compared, when checking if it's safe to free the page_pool structure. Which
will only happen when driver have disconnected RX/alloc side. Thus, on a
non-fast-path.
It is chosen that page_pool tracking is also enabled for the non-DMA
use-case, as this can be used for statistics later.
After this patch, using page_pool requires more strict resource "release",
e.g. via page_pool_release_page() that was introduced in this patchset, and
previous patches implement/fix this more strict requirement.
Drivers no-longer call page_pool_destroy(). Drivers already call
xdp_rxq_info_unreg() which call xdp_rxq_info_unreg_mem_model(), which will
attempt to disconnect the mem id, and if attempt fails schedule the
disconnect for later via delayed workqueue.

We need some mechanism to disable napi_direct on calling
xdp_return_frame_rx_napi() from some context.
When veth gets support of XDP_REDIRECT, it will redirects packets which
are redirected from other devices. On redirection veth will reuse
xdp_mem_info of the redirection source device to make return_frame work.
But in this case .ndo_xdp_xmit() called from veth redirection uses
xdp_mem_info which is not guarded by NAPI, because the .ndo_xdp_xmit()
is not called directly from the rxq which owns the xdp_mem_info.
This approach introduces a flag in bpf_redirect_info to indicate that
napi_direct should be disabled even when _rx_napi variant is used as
well as helper functions to use it.
A NAPI handler who wants to use this flag needs to call
xdp_set_return_frame_no_direct() before processing packets, and call
xdp_clear_return_frame_no_direct() after xdp_do_flush_map() before
exiting NAPI.

- Use bpf_redirect_info for storing the flag instead of xdp_mem_info to
avoid per-frame copy cost.

The reverted commit adds a WARN to check against NULL entries in the
mem_id_ht rhashtable. Any kernel path implementing the XDP (generic or
driver) fast path is required to make a paired
xdp_rxq_info_reg/xdp_rxq_info_unreg call for proper function. In
addition, a driver using a different allocation scheme than the
default MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED is required to additionally call
xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model.
For MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY, an xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model call ensures
that the mem_id_ht rhashtable has a properly inserted allocator id. If
not, this would be a driver bug. A NULL pointer kernel OOPS is
preferred to the WARN.

Basic operations drivers perform during xdp setup and query can
be moved to helpers in the core. Encapsulate program and flags
into a structure and add helpers. Note that the structure is
intended as the "main" program information source in the driver.
Most drivers will additionally place the program pointer in their
fast path or ring structures.
The helpers don't have a huge impact now, but they will
decrease the code duplication when programs can be installed
in HW and driver at the same time. Encapsulating the basic
operations in helpers will hopefully also reduce the number
of changes to drivers which adopt them.
Helpers could really be static inline, but they depend on
definition of struct netdev_bpf which means they'd have
to be placed in netdevice.h, an already 4500 line header.

Changing API xdp_return_frame() to take struct xdp_frame as argument,
seems like a natural choice. But there are some subtle performance
details here that needs extra care, which is a deliberate choice.
When de-referencing xdp_frame on a remote CPU during DMA-TX
completion, result in the cache-line is change to "Shared"
state. Later when the page is reused for RX, then this xdp_frame
cache-line is written, which change the state to "Modified".
This situation already happens (naturally) for, virtio_net, tun and
cpumap as the xdp_frame pointer is the queued object. In tun and
cpumap, the ptr_ring is used for efficiently transferring cache-lines
(with pointers) between CPUs. Thus, the only option is to
de-referencing xdp_frame.
It is only the ixgbe driver that had an optimization, in which it can
avoid doing the de-reference of xdp_frame. The driver already have
TX-ring queue, which (in case of remote DMA-TX completion) have to be
transferred between CPUs anyhow. In this data area, we stored a
struct xdp_mem_info and a data pointer, which allowed us to avoid
de-referencing xdp_frame.
To compensate for this, a prefetchw is used for telling the cache
coherency protocol about our access pattern. My benchmarks show that
this prefetchw is enough to compensate the ixgbe driver.

New allocator type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL for page_pool usage.
The registered allocator page_pool pointer is not available directly
from xdp_rxq_info, but it could be (if needed). For now, the driver
should keep separate track of the page_pool pointer, which it should
use for RX-ring page allocation.
As suggested by Saeed, to maintain a symmetric API it is the drivers
responsibility to allocate/create and free/destroy the page_pool.
Thus, after the driver have called xdp_rxq_info_unreg(), it is drivers
responsibility to free the page_pool, but with a RCU free call. This
is done easily via the page_pool helper page_pool_destroy() (which
avoids touching any driver code during the RCU callback, which could
happen after the driver have been unloaded).

Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number,
that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per
RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. Instead of using the IDR infrastructure, which
uses a radix tree, use a dynamic rhashtable, for creating ID to
pointer lookup table, because this is faster.
The problem that is being solved here is that, the xdp_rxq_info
pointer (stored in xdp_buff) cannot be used directly, as the
guaranteed lifetime is too short. The info is needed on a
(potentially) remote CPU during DMA-TX completion time . In an
xdp_frame the xdp_mem_info is stored, when it got converted from an
xdp_buff, which is sufficient for the simple page refcnt based recycle
schemes.
For more advanced allocators there is a need to store a pointer to the
registered allocator. Thus, there is a need to guard the lifetime or
validity of the allocator pointer, which is done through this
rhashtable ID map to pointer. The removal and validity of of the
allocator and helper struct xdp_mem_allocator is guarded by RCU. The
allocator will be created by the driver, and registered with
xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model().
It is up-to debate who is responsible for freeing the allocator
pointer or invoking the allocator destructor function. In any case,
this must happen via RCU freeing.
Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number,
that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per
RX-queue xdp_rxq_info.

and detect this is the failure path by seeing that xdp_rxq_info was

This patch only introduce the core data structures and API functions.
All XDP enabled drivers must use the API before this info can used.
There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP
frames have arrived on. For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side.
Instead of extending xdp_buff each time new info is needed, the patch
creates a separate read-mostly struct xdp_rxq_info, that contains this
info. We stress this data/cache-line is for read-only info. This is
NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases.
The performance advantage is this info can be setup at RX-ring init
time, instead of updating N-members in xdp_buff. A possible (driver
level) micro optimization is that xdp_buff->rxq assignment could be
done once per XDP/NAPI loop. The extra pointer deref only happens for
program needing access to this info (thus, no slowdown to existing
