Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/9] netmem: introduce struct netmem_desc mirroring struct page
Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2025 13:32:17 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250609043225.77229-2-byungchul@sk.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250609043225.77229-1-byungchul@sk.com>
To simplify struct page, the page pool members of struct page should be
moved to other, allowing these members to be removed from struct page.
Introduce a network memory descriptor to store the members, struct
netmem_desc, and make it union'ed with the existing fields in struct
net_iov, allowing to organize the fields of struct net_iov.
