Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 1/6] netmem: rename __get/__put_netmem() to get/put_net_iov()
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 08:38:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010083935.3274178-2-almasrymina@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010083935.3274178-1-almasrymina@google.com>
netmems carry both a non-pp backing refcount and a page_pool
pp_ref_count. Make the non-pp layer explicit and symmetric across both
netmem types: get/put_netmem() dispatches to get/put_page() for pages
and get/put_net_iov() for net_iovs, always acquiring or releasing a
non-pp reference regardless of page_pool membership.
Warn via DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() for net_iov types that do not support
non-pp references.
