Subject: [RFC net-next 06/15] xdp: Track non-page netmem in receive buffers
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 21:00:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002190018.696925-7-bjorn@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002190018.696925-1-bjorn@kernel.org>

A page-pool memory provider can give net_iov buffers, and
virt_to_page() does not work for them. An xdp_buff holds only the
data pointer, so code that returns or converts a buffer cannot find
its net_iov.

Add NET_IOV_XSK, the net_iov type for AF_XDP. Add the internal flag
XDP_FLAGS_HAS_NETMEM. When it is set, the xdp_buff holds a netmem
reference in the union with the devmap TX queue, which only devmap
egress uses. The flag is cleared when flags are copied to an skb or
an xdp_frame. xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() sends such a buffer to the
zero-copy copy path.

A fragment from a readable net_iov area no longer marks the buffer's
fragments as unreadable. The skb layer still treats every net_iov as
unreadable, so such a buffer must be copied before it becomes an
skb. Later patches in this series do that.

skb_shared_info holds kernel pointers, so it cannot be in UMEM,
which userspace can write. A netmem xdp_buff points to a
skb_shared_info that the RX queue keeps in kernel memory instead.
xdp_init_buff_from_netmem() sets this up. Page-backed buffers still
use their tailroom.

On 64-bit, struct xdp_buff grows from 56 to 64 bytes. struct
xdp_buff_xsk stays at 128 bytes on x86-64. Where the largest
alignment is 8 bytes, as on s390, it grows from 120 to 128 bytes, so
a pool needs 8 more bytes per UMEM chunk. Only helpers that need the
netmem or the fragment info test the new flag. Page-backed receive
and return paths do not.
