![]() Prepare the datapath for refcounted ubuf_info. Clone ubuf_info with skb_zerocopy_clone() wherever needed due to skb split, merge, resize or clone. Split skb_orphan_frags into two variants. The split, merge, .. paths support reference counted zerocopy buffers, so do not do a deep copy. Add skb_orphan_frags_rx for paths that may loop packets to receive sockets. That is not allowed, as it may cause unbounded latency. Deep copy all zerocopy copy buffers, ref-counted or not, in this path. The exact locations to modify were chosen by exhaustively searching through all code that might modify skb_frag references and/or the the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY tx_flags bit. The changes err on the safe side, in two ways. (1) legacy ubuf_info paths virtio and tap are not modified. They keep a 1:1 ubuf_info to sk_buff relationship. Calls to skb_orphan_frags still call skb_copy_ubufs and thus copy frags in this case. (2) not all copies deep in the stack are addressed yet. skb_shift, skb_split and skb_try_coalesce can be refined to avoid copying. These are not in the hot path and this patch is hairy enough as is, so that is left for future refinement. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
