Currently net_iovs support only pp ref counts, and do not support a page ref equivalent. This is fine for the RX path as net_iovs are used exclusively with the pp and only pp refcounting is needed there. The TX path however does not use pp ref counts, thus, support for get_page/put_page equivalent is needed for netmem. Support get_netmem/put_netmem. Check the type of the netmem before passing it to page or net_iov specific code to obtain a page ref equivalent. For dmabuf net_iovs, we obtain a ref on the underlying binding. This ensures the entire binding doesn't disappear until all the net_iovs have been put_netmem'ed. We do not need to track the refcount of individual dmabuf net_iovs as we don't allocate/free them from a pool similar to what the buddy allocator does for pages. This code is written to be extensible by other net_iov implementers. get_netmem/put_netmem will check the type of the netmem and route it to the correct helper: pages -> [get|put]_page() dmabuf net_iovs -> net_devmem_[get|put]_net_iov() new net_iovs -> new helpers Signed-off-by: Mina Almasry <almasrymina@google.com> Acked-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@fomichev.me> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250508004830.4100853-3-almasrymina@google.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
