In order to address the issues encountered with commit 1effe8ca4e
("skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling"), the
combination of the following condition was excluded from skb coalescing:
from->pp_recycle = 1
from->cloned = 1
to->pp_recycle = 1
However, with page pool environments, the aforementioned combination can
be quite common(ex. NetworkMananger may lead to the additional
packet_type being registered, thus the cloning). In scenarios with a
higher number of small packets, it can significantly affect the success
rate of coalescing. For example, considering packets of 256 bytes size,
our comparison of coalescing success rate is as follows:
Without page pool: 70%
With page pool: 13%
Consequently, this has an impact on performance:
Without page pool: 2.57 Gbits/sec
With page pool: 2.26 Gbits/sec
Therefore, it seems worthwhile to optimize this scenario and enable
coalescing of this particular combination. To achieve this, we need to
ensure the correct increment of the "from" SKB page's page pool
reference count (pp_ref_count).
Following this optimization, the success rate of coalescing measured in
our environment has improved as follows:
With page pool: 60%
This success rate is approaching the rate achieved without using page
pool, and the performance has also been improved:
With page pool: 2.52 Gbits/sec
Below is the performance comparison for small packets before and after
this optimization. We observe no impact to packets larger than 4K.

(bytes) (Gbits/sec) (Gbits/sec)

To support multiple users referencing the same fragment,
'pp_frag_count' is renamed to 'pp_ref_count', transitioning pp pages
from fragment management to reference count management after draining
based on the suggestion from [1].
The idea is that the concept of fragmenting exists before the page is
drained, and all related functions retain their current names.
However, once the page is drained, its management shifts to being
governed by 'pp_ref_count'. Therefore, all functions associated with
that lifecycle stage of a pp page are renamed.

Link the page pools with netdevs. This needs to be netns compatible
so we have two options. Either we record the pools per netns and
have to worry about moving them as the netdev gets moved.
Or we record them directly on the netdev so they move with the netdev
without any extra work.
Implement the latter option. Since pools may outlast netdev we need
a place to store orphans. In time honored tradition use loopback
for this purpose.

It's convenient for the user of the API to not have to worry
which fields are fast and which are slow path. Use struct
groups to split the params into the two categories internally.

Currently page pool supports the below use cases:
use case 1: allocate page without page splitting using
page_pool_alloc_pages() API if the driver knows
that the memory it need is always bigger than
half of the page allocated from page pool.
use case 2: allocate page frag with page splitting using
page_pool_alloc_frag() API if the driver knows
that the memory it need is always smaller than
or equal to the half of the page allocated from
page pool.
There is emerging use case [1] & [2] that is a mix of the
above two case: the driver doesn't know the size of memory it
need beforehand, so the driver may use something like below to
allocate memory with least memory utilization and performance
penalty:
if (size << 1 > max_size)
page = page_pool_alloc_pages();
else
page = page_pool_alloc_frag();
To avoid the driver doing something like above, add the
page_pool_alloc() API to support the above use case, and update
the true size of memory that is acctually allocated by updating
'*size' back to the driver in order to avoid exacerbating
truesize underestimate problem.
Rename page_pool_free() which is used in the destroy process to
__page_pool_destroy() to avoid confusion with the newly added
API.

Currently when page_pool_create() is called with
PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG flag, page_pool_alloc_pages() is only
allowed to be called under the below constraints:
1. page_pool_fragment_page() need to be called to setup
page->pp_frag_count immediately.
2. page_pool_defrag_page() often need to be called to drain
the page->pp_frag_count when there is no more user will
be holding on to that page.
Those constraints exist in order to support a page to be
split into multi fragments.
And those constraints have some overhead because of the
cache line dirtying/bouncing and atomic update.
Those constraints are unavoidable for case when we need a
page to be split into more than one fragment, but there is
also case that we want to avoid the above constraints and
their overhead when a page can't be split as it can only
hold a fragment as requested by user, depending on different
use cases:
use case 1: allocate page without page splitting.
use case 2: allocate page with page splitting.
use case 3: allocate page with or without page splitting
depending on the fragment size.
Currently page pool only provide page_pool_alloc_pages() and
page_pool_alloc_frag() API to enable the 1 & 2 separately,
so we can not use a combination of 1 & 2 to enable 3, it is
not possible yet because of the per page_pool flag
PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG.
So in order to allow allocating unsplit page without the
overhead of split page while still allow allocating split
page we need to remove the per page_pool flag in
page_pool_is_last_frag(), as best as I can think of, it seems
there are two methods as below:
1. Add per page flag/bit to indicate a page is split or
not, which means we might need to update that flag/bit
everytime the page is recycled, dirtying the cache line
of 'struct page' for use case 1.
2. Unify the page->pp_frag_count handling for both split and
unsplit page by assuming all pages in the page pool is split
into a big fragment initially.
As page pool already supports use case 1 without dirtying the
cache line of 'struct page' whenever a page is recyclable, we
need to support the above use case 3 with minimal overhead,
especially not adding any noticeable overhead for use case 1,
and we are already doing an optimization by not updating
pp_frag_count in page_pool_defrag_page() for the last fragment
user, this patch chooses to unify the pp_frag_count handling
to support the above use case 3.
There is no noticeable performance degradation and some
justification for unifying the frag_count handling with this
patch applied using a micro-benchmark testing in [1].

Currently page_pool_alloc_frag() is not supported in 32-bit
arch with 64-bit DMA because of the overlap issue between
pp_frag_count and dma_addr_upper in 'struct page' for those
arches, which seems to be quite common, see [1], which means
driver may need to handle it when using fragment API.
It is assumed that the combination of the above arch with an
address space >16TB does not exist, as all those arches have
64b equivalent, it seems logical to use the 64b version for a
system with a large address space. It is also assumed that dma
address is page aligned when we are dma mapping a page aligned
buffer, see [2].
That means we're storing 12 bits of 0 at the lower end for a
dma address, we can reuse those bits for the above arches to
support 32b+12b, which is 16TB of memory.
If we make a wrong assumption, a warning is emitted so that
user can report to us.

On x86_64, frag_* fields of struct page_pool are scattered across two
cachelines despite the summary size of 24 bytes. All three fields are
used in pretty much the same places, but the last field, ::frag_users,
is pushed out to the next CL, provoking unwanted false-sharing on
hotpath (frags allocation code).
There are some holes and cold members to move around. Move frag_* one
block up, placing them right after &page_pool_params perfectly at the
beginning of CL2. This doesn't do any meaningful to the second block, as
those are some destroy-path cold structures, and doesn't do anything to
::alloc_stats, which still starts at 200-byte offset, 8 bytes after CL3
(still fitting into 1 cacheline).
On my setup, this yields 1-2% of Mpps when using PP frags actively.
When it comes to 32-bit architectures with 32-byte CL: &page_pool_params
plus ::pad is 44 bytes, the block taken care of is 16 bytes within one
CL, so there should be at least no regressions from the actual change.
::pages_state_hold_cnt is not related directly to that triple, but is
paired currently with ::frags_offset and decoupling them would mean
either two 4-byte holes or more invasive layout changes.

Currently, touching <net/page_pool/types.h> triggers a rebuild of more
than half of the kernel. That's because it's included in
<linux/skbuff.h>. And each new include to page_pool/types.h adds more
[useless] data for the toolchain to process per each source file from
that pile.
In commit 6a5bcd84e8 ("page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB
recycling"), Matteo included it to be able to call a couple of functions
defined there. Then, in commit 57f05bc2ab ("page_pool: keep pp info as
long as page pool owns the page") one of the calls was removed, so only
one was left. It's the call to page_pool_return_skb_page() in
napi_frag_unref(). The function is external and doesn't have any
dependencies. Having very niche page_pool_types.h included only for that
looks like an overkill.
As %PP_SIGNATURE is not local to page_pool.c (was only in the
early submissions), nothing holds this function there. Teleport
page_pool_return_skb_page() to skbuff.c, just next to the main consumer,
skb_pp_recycle(), and rename it to napi_pp_put_page(), as it doesn't
work with skbs at all and the former name tells nothing. The #if guards
here are only to not compile and have it in the vmlinux when not needed
-- both call sites are already guarded.
Now, touching page_pool_types.h only triggers rebuilding of the drivers
using it and a couple of core networking files.
