When reading the page_pool code the first impression is that keeping
two separate counters, one being the page refcnt and the other being
fragment pp_frag_count, is counter-intuitive.

However without that fragment counter we don't know when to reliably
destroy or sync the outstanding DMA mappings.  So let's add a comment
explaining this part.

We use BH context only for synchronization, so we don't care if it's
actually serving softirq or not.

As a side node, in case of threaded NAPI, in_serving_softirq() will
return false because it's in process context with BH off, making
page_pool_recycle_in_cache() unreachable.

Add per-pool statistics counters for the allocation path of a page pool.
These stats are incremented in softirq context, so no locking or per-cpu
variables are needed.

This code is disabled by default and a kernel config option is provided for
users who wish to enable them.

The statistics added are:
	- fast: successful fast path allocations
	- slow: slow path order-0 allocations
	- slow_high_order: slow path high order allocations
	- empty: ptr ring is empty, so a slow path allocation was forced.
	- refill: an allocation which triggered a refill of the cache
	- waive: pages obtained from the ptr ring that cannot be added to
	  the cache due to a NUMA mismatch.

<title>page_pool: Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation</title>
<updated>2022-02-03T11:49:03+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Alexander Duyck</name>
<email>alexanderduyck@fb.com</email>

<id>52cc6ffc0ab2c61a76127b9347567fc97c15582f</id>
<content type='text'>
This change is meant to permit a driver to perform "fragmenting" of the
page from within the driver instead of the current model which requires
pre-partitioning the page. The main motivation behind this is to support
use cases where the page will be split up by the driver after DMA instead
of before.

With this change it becomes possible to start using page pool to replace
some of the existing use cases where multiple references were being used
for a single page, but the number needed was unknown as the size could be
dynamic.

For example, with this code it would be possible to do something like
the following to handle allocation:
  page = page_pool_alloc_pages();
  if (!page)
    return NULL;
  page_pool_fragment_page(page, DRIVER_PAGECNT_BIAS_MAX);
  rx_buf-&gt;page = page;
  rx_buf-&gt;pagecnt_bias = DRIVER_PAGECNT_BIAS_MAX;

Then we would process a received buffer by handling it with:
  rx_buf-&gt;pagecnt_bias--;

Once the page has been fully consumed we could then flush the remaining
instances with:
  if (page_pool_defrag_page(page, rx_buf-&gt;pagecnt_bias))
    continue;
  page_pool_put_defragged_page(pool, page -1, !!budget);

The general idea is that we want to have the ability to allocate a page
with excess fragment count and then trim off the unneeded fragments.

This reverts commit d00e60ee54b12de945b8493cf18c1ada9e422514.

As reported by Guillaume in [1]:
Enabling LPAE always enables CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
in 32-bit systems, which breaks the bootup proceess when a
ethernet driver is using page pool with PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP flag.
As we were hoping we had no active consumers for such system
when we removed the dma mapping support, and LPAE seems like
a common feature for 32 bits system, so revert it.
