There is no requirement that > all of the frags are in the same memory type. The flag indicates that the skb contains all devmem dma-buf memory specifically, not generic 'not_readable' frags as the comment says: + * @devmem: indicates that all the fragments in this skb are backed by + * device memory. The reason it's not a generic 'not_readable' flag is because handing off a generic not_readable skb to the userspace is semantically not what we're doing. recvmsg() is augmented in this patch series to return a devmem skb to the user via a cmsg_devmem struct which refers specifically to the memory in the dma-buf. recvmsg() in this patch series is not augmented to give any 'not_readable' skb to the userspace. IMHO skb->devmem + an skb_frags_not_readable() as implemented is correct. If a new type of unreadable skbs are introduced to the stack, I imagine the stack would implement: 1. new header flag: skb->newmem 2. static inline bool skb_frags_not_readable(const struct skb_buff *skb) { return skb->devmem || skb->newmem; } 3. tcp_recvmsg_devmem() would handle skb->devmem skbs is in this patch series, but tcp_recvmsg_newmem() would handle skb->newmem skbs.

I.e. make the header flag 'not_readable' and check the frags to decide to delegate to tcp_recvmsg_devmem() or something else. We can even assume not_readable == devmem because currently devmem is the only type of unreadable frag currently. > Unrelated: we probably need socket to dmabuf association as well (via > netlink or something). Not sure this is possible. The dma-buf is bound to the rx-queue, and any packets that land on that rx-queue are bound to that dma-buf, regardless of which socket that packet belongs to. So the association IMO must be rx-queue to dma-buf, not socket to dma-buf. > We are fundamentally receiving into and sending from a dmabuf (devmem == > dmabuf). > And once you have this association, recvmsg shouldn't need any new > special flags.

Maybe you can also > put some checks at the lower level to to enforce this dmabuf > association. (to avoid any potential issues with flow steering) > setsockopt(SO_DEVMEM_ASSERT_DMA_BUF, dmabuf_fd)? Sounds interesting, but maybe a bit of a weird API to me. Because the API can't enforce the socket to receive packets on a dma-buf (rx-queue binding + flow steering does that), but the API can assert that incoming packets are received on said dma-buf. I guess it would check packets before they are acked and would drop packets that landed on the wrong queue. I'm a bit unsure about defensively programming features (and uapi no less) to 'avoid any potential issues with flow steering'. Flow steering is supposed to work. Also if we wanted to defensively program something to avoid flow steering issues, then I'd suggest adding to cmsg_devmem the dma-buf fd that the data is on, not this setsockopt() that asserts. IMO it's a weird API for the userspace to ask the kernel to assert some condition (at least I haven't seen it before or commonly). But again, in general, I'm a bit unsure about defensively designing uapi around a feature like flow steering that's supposed to work. > We'll still have dmabuf to rx-queue association because of various reasons.. -- Thanks, Mina

What requires that restriction? In all of the uses of skb->devmem and skb_frags_not_readable() what matters is if any frag is not readable, then frag list walk or collapse is avoided.

It's still fixed and won't change during the socket lifetime, right? And the socket has to know this association; otherwise those tokens are useless since they don't carry anything to identify the dmabuf. I think my other issue with MSG_SOCK_DEVMEM being on recvmsg is that it somehow implies that I have an option of passing or not passing it for an individual system call. If we know that we're going to use dmabuf with the socket, maybe we should move this flag to the socket() syscall? fd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DEVMEM); ? > > So why not have a separate control channel action to say: this socket fd > > is supposed to receive into this dmabuf fd? > > This action would put > > the socket into permanent 'MSG_SOCK_DEVMEM' mode.

This is done for some simplicity, because iov's are given to the user via cmsg, but pages are copied into the linear buffer. I think it would be confusing for the user if we simultaneously copied some data to the linear buffer and gave them a devmem cmsgs in the same recvmsg() call. So, my simplicity is: 1. in a single skb, all frags must be devmem or non-devmem, no mixing. 2. In a single recvmsg() call, we only process devmem or non-devmem skbs, no mixing.

There are plenty of bits we can grab. But setsockopt works as well!

Technically, no. The user is free to modify or delete flow steering rules outside of the lifetime of the socket. Technically it's possible for the user to reconfigure flow steering while the socket is simultaneously receiving, and the result will be packets switching from devmem to non-devmem. For a reasonably correctly configured application the application would probably want to steer 1 flow to 1 dma-buf and never change it, but this is not something we enforce, but rather the user orchestrates. In theory someone can find a use case for configuring and unconfigure flow steering during a connection. > > And the socket has to know this association; otherwise those tokens > > are useless since they don't carry anything to identify the dmabuf. > > > > I think my other issue with MSG_SOCK_DEVMEM being on recvmsg is that > > it somehow implies that I have an option of passing or not passing it > > for an individual system call. You do have the option of passing it or not passing it per system call. The MSG_SOCK_DEVMEM says the application is willing to receive devmem cmsgs - that's all. The application doesn't get to decide whether it's actually going to receive a devmem cmsg or not, because that's dictated by the type of skb that is present in the receive queue, and not up to the application.

Seems more than reasonable.

I'm not sure there are any spare bits available. Although CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV and CONFIG_NET_SCHED seem to already add padding.

FWIW I'd also prefer to allow mixing. "Some NICs" can decide HDS very flexibly, incl. landing full jumbo frames into the "headers". There's no sender API today to signal how to mark the data for selective landing, but if Mina already has the rx side written to allow that...
