Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 0/5] net: deprecate skb->pp_recycle and skb_mark_for_recycle()
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 21:14:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103211424.127627-1-almasrymina@google.com> (raw)
Remove the per-SKB skb->pp_recycle bitfield and skb_mark_for_recycle()
helper, and reference-count netmems directly by their underlying type
via netmem_is_pp() inside netmem_inc_ref() and netmem_dec_ref().
This series simplifies SKB and netmem reference counting:
- Reclaims 1 bit from struct sk_buff (skb->pp_recycle).
- Unifies reference counting of SKB fragment netmems and regular netmems
under netmem_inc_ref() and netmem_dec_ref(), eliminating the separate
skb_netmem_ref(), skb_netmem_unref(), and skb_mark_for_recycle() APIs.
- Removes 110 net lines of non-test/doc code across 63 files (196
insertions, 306 deletions).
1/5: net: skbuff: skip managed zerocopy frags in skb_frag_ref()
2/5: net: skbuff: refcount spliced page_pool frags via skb_pipe_buf_ops
3/5: net: datagram: refcount page_pool frags in zerocopy_fill_skb_from_iter()
4/5: net: remove skb->pp_recycle and consolidate netmem refcounting
5/5: net: remove skb_mark_for_recycle()
Mina Almasry (5):
net: skbuff: skip managed zerocopy frags in skb_frag_ref()

net: datagram: refcount page_pool frags in
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_iter()
net: remove skb->pp_recycle and consolidate netmem refcounting
net: remove skb_mark_for_recycle()
