    net: page_pool: add the possibility to sync DMA memory for device · e68bc756
    Lorenzo Bianconi authored
    Introduce the following parameters in order to add the possibility to sync
    DMA memory for device before putting allocated pages in the page_pool
    caches:
    - PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV: if set in page_pool_params flags, all pages that
      the driver gets from page_pool will be DMA-synced-for-device according
      to the length provided by the device driver. Please note DMA-sync-for-CPU
      is still device driver responsibility
    - offset: DMA address offset where the DMA engine starts copying rx data
    - max_len: maximum DMA memory size page_pool is allowed to flush. This
      is currently used in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow routine when pages
      are allocated from page allocator
    These parameters are supposed to be set by device drivers.
    
    This optimization reduces the length of the DMA-sync-for-device.
    The optimization is valid because pages are initially
    DMA-synced-for-device as defined via max_len. At RX time, the driver
    will perform a DMA-sync-for-CPU on the memory for the packet length.
    What is important is the memory occupied by packet payload, because
    this is the area CPU is allowed to read and modify. As we don't track
    cache-lines written into by the CPU, simply use the packet payload length
    as dma_sync_size at page_pool recycle time. This also take into account
    any tail-extend.
