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 |
