Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 04/11] xsk: Allocate UMEM chunks through page_pool
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:20:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110102039.1002605-5-bjorn@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110102039.1002605-1-bjorn@kernel.org>
AF_XDP zero copy needs a second RX allocator in every driver. A
page_pool driver can take UMEM chunks from a memory provider instead,
and keep its refill, recycling and DMA sync code.
Each aligned chunk becomes a net_iov, whose address netmem_address()
finds without calling the provider. Userspace may post a chunk that
the kernel still owns, so the provider tracks the owner of each chunk
and drops such FILL entries. Chunks that a page pool releases stay in
the kernel for reuse. Nothing installs the provider yet.
