Subject: [net-next PATCH RFC 00/26] Add support for DMA writable pages being
 writable by the network stack

The first 21 patches in the set add support for the DMA attribute
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC on multiple platforms/architectures.  This is needed
so that we can flag the calls to dma_map/unmap_page so that we do not
invalidate cache lines that do not currently belong to the device.  Instead
we have to take care of this in the driver via a call to
sync_single_range_for_cpu prior to freeing the Rx page.

Patch 22 adds support for dma_map_page_attrs and dma_unmap_page_attrs so
that we can unmap and map a page using the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
attribute.

Patch 23 adds support for freeing a page that has multiple references being
held by a single caller.  This way we can free page fragments that were
allocated by a given driver.

The last 3 patches use these updates in the igb driver to allow for us to
reimplement the use of build_skb which hands a writable page off to the
stack.

My hope is to get the series accepted into the net-next tree as I have a
number of other Intel drivers I could then begin updating once these
patches are accepted.

Any feedback is welcome.  Specifically if there is something I overlooked
design-wise or an architecture I missed please let me know and I will add
it to this patch set.  If needed I can look into breaking this into a
smaller set of patches but this set is all that should be needed to then
start looking at putting together a DMA page pool per device which I know
is something Jesper has been working on.
