Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 2/6] net: skbuff: add napi_pp_get_page() and use it in tcp_recvmsg_dmabuf()
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 08:38:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010083935.3274178-3-almasrymina@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010083935.3274178-1-almasrymina@google.com>
While napi_pp_put_page() releases a page_pool pp_ref_count reference on
a netmem, no symmetric helper existed to acquire one, forcing callers
like tcp_recvmsg_dmabuf() to open-code atomic_long_inc() on
niov->desc.pp_ref_count.
Add napi_pp_get_page() to pair symmetrically with napi_pp_put_page(),
and use WARN_ON_ONCE(!napi_pp_get_page(netmem)) in tcp_recvmsg_dmabuf()
to match WARN_ON_ONCE(!napi_pp_put_page(netmem)) in
tcp_release_user_frags().
