[PATCH net-next 2/2] skbuff: keep track of pp page when __skb_frag_ref() is called

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Sun Aug 29 2021 - 21:19:32 EST


As the skb->pp_recycle and page->pp_magic may not be enough
to track if a frag page is from page pool after the calling
of __skb_frag_ref(), mostly because of a data race, see:
commit 2cc3aeb5eccc ("skbuff: Fix a potential race while
recycling page_pool packets").

There may be clone and expand head case that might lose the
track if a frag page is from page pool or not.

So increment the frag count when __skb_frag_ref() is called,
and only use page->pp_magic to indicate if a frag page is from
page pool, to avoid the above data race.

For 32 bit systems with 64 bit dma, we preserve the orginial
behavior as frag count is used to trace how many time does a
frag page is called with __skb_frag_ref().
