[ Upstream commit 8f12d1137c2382c80aada8e05d7cc650cd4e403c ]

It is possible for bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() to free all fragments. The
kfunc currently clears the XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS bit, but not
XDP_FLAGS_FRAGS_PF_MEMALLOC. So far, this has not caused a issue when
building sk_buff from xdp_buff since all readers of xdp_buff-&gt;flags
use the flag only when there are fragments. Clear the
XDP_FLAGS_FRAGS_PF_MEMALLOC bit as well to make the flags correct.

Commit 03df156dd3a6 ("xdp: double protect netdev-&gt;xdp_flags with
netdev-&gt;lock") introduces the netdev lock to xdp_set_features_flag().
The change includes a _locked version of the method, as it is possible
for a driver to have already acquired the netdev lock before calling
this helper. However, the same applies to
xdp_features_(set|clear)_redirect_flags(), which ends up calling the
unlocked version of xdp_set_features_flags() leading to deadlocks in
GVE, which grabs the netdev lock as part of its suspend, reset, and
shutdown processes:

Protect xdp_features with netdev-&gt;lock. This way pure readers
no longer have to take rtnl_lock to access the field.

This includes calling NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE under the lock.
Looks like that's fine for bonding, the only "real" listener,
it's the same as ethtool feature change.

In terms of normal drivers - only GVE need special consideration
(other drivers don't use instance lock or don't support XDP).
It calls xdp_set_features_flag() helper from gve_init_priv() which
in turn is called from gve_reset_recovery() (locked), or prior
to netdev registration. So switch to _locked.

The only user was veth, which now uses napi_skb_cache_get_bulk().
It's now preferred over a direct allocation and is exported as
well, so remove this one.

<content type='text'>
Commit 86e25f40aa1e ("net: napi: Add napi_config") moved napi-&gt;napi_id
assignment to a later point in time (napi_hash_add_with_id). This breaks
__xdp_rxq_info_reg which copies napi_id at an earlier time and now
stores 0 napi_id. It also makes sk_mark_napi_id_once_xdp and
__sk_mark_napi_id_once useless because they now work against 0 napi_id.
Since sk_busy_loop requires valid napi_id to busy-poll on, there is no way
to busy-poll AF_XDP sockets anymore.

Bring back the ability to busy-poll on XSK by resolving socket's napi_id
at bind time. This relies on relatively recent netif_queue_set_napi,
but (assume) at this point most popular drivers should have been converted.
This also removes per-tx/rx cycles which used to check and/or set
the napi_id value.

Confirmed by running a busy-polling AF_XDP socket
(github.com/fomichev/xskrtt) on mlx5 and looking at BusyPollRxPackets
from /proc/net/netstat.

<title>xsk: add generic XSk &amp;xdp_buff -&gt; skb conversion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:560d958c6c68fa62ddb4bd6f890c363598d184b0</id>
<content type='text'>
Same as with converting &amp;xdp_buff to skb on Rx, the code which allocates
a new skb and copies the XSk frame there is identical across the
drivers, so make it generic. This includes copying all the frags if they
are present in the original buff.
System percpu page_pools greatly improve XDP_PASS performance on XSk:
instead of page_alloc() + page_free(), the net core recycles the same
pages, so the only overhead left is memcpy()s. When the Page Pool is
not compiled in, the whole function is a return-NULL (but it always
gets selected when eBPF is enabled).
Note that the passed buff gets freed if the conversion is done w/o any
error, assuming you don't need this buffer after you convert it to an
skb.

The code which builds an skb from an &amp;xdp_buff keeps multiplying itself
around the drivers with almost no changes. Let's try to stop that by
adding a generic function.
Unlike __xdp_build_skb_from_frame(), always allocate an skbuff head
using napi_build_skb() and make use of the available xdp_rxq pointer to
assign the Rx queue index. In case of PP-backed buffer, mark the skb to
be recycled, as every PP user's been switched to recycle skbs.

The code piece which would attach a frag to &amp;xdp_buff is almost
identical across the drivers supporting XDP multi-buffer on Rx.
Make it a generic elegant "oneliner".
Also, I see lots of drivers calculating frags_truesize as
`xdp-&gt;frame_sz * nr_frags`. I can't say this is fully correct, since
frags might be backed by chunks of different sizes, especially with
stuff like the header split. Even page_pool_alloc() can give you two
different truesizes on two subsequent requests to allocate the same
buffer size. Add a field to &amp;skb_shared_info (unionized as there's no
free slot currently on x86_64) to track the "true" truesize. It can
be used later when updating the skb.

Currently, __xdp_return() takes pointer to the virtual memory to free
a buffer. Apart from that this sometimes provokes redundant
data &lt;--&gt; page conversions, taking data pointer effectively prevents
lots of XDP code to support non-page-backed buffers, as there's no
mapping for the non-host memory (data is always NULL).
Just convert it to always take netmem reference. For
xdp_return_{buff,frame*}(), this chops off one page_address() per each
frag and adds one virt_to_netmem() (same as virt_to_page()) per header
buffer. For __xdp_return() itself, it removes one virt_to_page() for
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL and another one for MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0, adding
one page_address() for [not really common nowadays]
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED, but the main effect is that the abovementioned
functions won't die or memleak anymore if the frame has non-host memory
attached and will correctly free those.
