Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 0/5] page_pool: recycle buffers

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@...rosoft.com>

This is a respin of [1]

This patchset shows the plans for allowing page_pool to handle and
maintain DMA map/unmap of the pages it serves to the driver. For this
to work a return hook in the network core is introduced.

The overall purpose is to simplify drivers, by providing a page
allocation API that does recycling, such that each driver doesn't have
to reinvent its own recycling scheme. Using page_pool in a driver
does not require implementing XDP support, but it makes it trivially
easy to do so. Instead of allocating buffers specifically for SKBs
we now allocate a generic buffer and either wrap it on an SKB
(via build_skb) or create an XDP frame.
The recycling code leverages the XDP recycle APIs.

The Marvell mvpp2 and mvneta drivers are used in this patchset to
demonstrate how to use the API, and tested on a MacchiatoBIN
and EspressoBIN boards respectively.

Please let this going in on a future -rc1 so to allow enough time
to have wider tests.

Note that this series depends on the change "mm: fix struct page layout
on 32-bit systems"[2] which is not yet in master.

v4 -> v5:
- move the signature so it doesn't alias with page->mapping
- use an invalid pointer as magic
- incorporate Matthew Wilcox's changes for pfmemalloc pages
- move the __skb_frag_unref() changes to a preliminary patch
- refactor some cpp directives
- only attempt recycling if skb->head_frag
- clear skb->pp_recycle in pskb_expand_head()

v3 -> v4:
- store a pointer to page_pool instead of xdp_mem_info
- drop a patch which reduces xdp_mem_info size
- do the recycling in the page_pool code instead of xdp_return
- remove some unused headers include
- remove some useless forward declaration

v2 -> v3:
- added missing SOBs
- CCed the MM people

v1 -> v2:
- fix a commit message
- avoid setting pp_recycle multiple times on mvneta
- squash two patches to avoid breaking bisect
