Subject: [RFC mm v4 1/2] page_pool: check if nmdesc->pp is !NULL to confirm its usage as pp for net_iov
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 16:44:09 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023074410.78650-2-byungchul@sk.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251023074410.78650-1-byungchul@sk.com>
->pp_magic field in struct page is current used to identify if a page
belongs to a page pool. However, ->pp_magic will be removed and page
type bit in struct page e.g. PGTY_netpp should be used for that purpose.
As a preparation, the check for net_iov, that is not page-backed, should
avoid using ->pp_magic since net_iov doens't have to do with page type.
Instead, nmdesc->pp can be used if a net_iov or its nmdesc belongs to a
page pool, by making sure nmdesc->pp is NULL otherwise.
For page-backed netmem, just leave unchanged as is, while for net_iov,
make sure nmdesc->pp is initialized to NULL and use nmdesc->pp for the
check.
