Subject: [RFC mm v7] mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in page type
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:27:09 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119012709.35895-1-byungchul@sk.com> (raw)
Currently, the condition 'page->pp_magic == PP_SIGNATURE' is used to
determine if a page belongs to a page pool. However, with the planned
removal of @pp_magic, we should instead leverage the page_type in struct
page, such as PGTY_netpp, for this purpose.
Introduce and use the page type APIs e.g. PageNetpp(), __SetPageNetpp(),
and __ClearPageNetpp() instead, and remove the existing APIs accessing
@pp_magic e.g. page_pool_page_is_pp(), netmem_or_pp_magic(), and
netmem_clear_pp_magic().
Plus, add @page_type to struct net_iov at the same offset as struct page
so as to use the page_type APIs for struct net_iov as well. While at it,
reorder @type and @owner in struct net_iov to avoid a hole and
increasing the struct size.
This work was inspired by the following link:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/582f41c0-2742-4400-9c81-0d46bf4e8314@gmail.com/
While at it, move the sanity check for page pool to on the page free
path.

I'm keeping all the Reviewed-by and Acked-by given for mm changes even
though I changed a lil bit since it obviously improves the code better.
However, I dropped all the Reviewed-by and Acked-by given for network
changes since I changed how to implement the part on the request from
Jakub. Can I keep your tags? Jakub, are you okay with this change?

This set is supposed to go via the mm tree, but it currently also
depends on patches in the net-next tree. For now, this set is based
on linux-next, but will apply cleanly (or get rebased) after mm tree was
rebased.
Changes from v6:
1. Do bad_page() and prevent the page from being returned to the
page allocator instead of just WARN_ON_ONCE() on detection of
page pool leak in the page free path. (feedbacked by Jesper
and David)
Changes from v5:
1. Add @page_type to struct net_iov so as to use the page_type
APIs even for struct net_iov. (feedbacked by Jakub)
Changes from v4:
1. Rebase on the latest version of linux-next as of Nov 3.
2. Improve commit messages. (feedbacked by Jakub and Mina)
3. Add Acked-by and Reviewed-by. Thanks to Mina.
Changes from v3:
1. Rebase on next-20251023 of linux-next.
2. Split into two, mm changes and network changes.
3. Improve the comments (feedbacked by Jakub)
Changes from v2:
1. Rebase on linux-next as of Jul 29.
2. Skip 'niov->pp = NULL' when it's allocated using __GFP_ZERO.
3. Change trivial coding style. (feedbacked by Mina)
4. Add Co-developed-by, Acked-by, and Reviewed-by properly.
Thanks to all.
Changes from v1:
1. Rebase on linux-next.
2. Initialize net_iov->pp = NULL when allocating net_iov in
net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() and io_zcrx_create_area().
3. Use ->pp for net_iov to identify if it's pp rather than
always consider net_iov as pp.
4. Add Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>.
