Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 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.

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

Ilias Apalodimas (1):
  page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB recycling

Jesper Dangaard Brouer (1):
  xdp: reduce size of struct xdp_mem_info

Matteo Croce (3):
  mm: add a signature in struct page
  mvpp2: recycle buffers
  mvneta: recycle buffers
