This patch is used to construct skb based on page to save memory copy
overhead.

This has one problem:

We construct the skb by fill the data page as a frag into the skb. In
this way, the linear space is empty, and the header information is also
in the frag, not in the linear space, which is not allowed for some
network cards. For example, Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family
[ConnectX-4 Lx] will get the following error message:

    mlx5_core 0000:3b:00.1 eth1: Error cqe on cqn 0x817, ci 0x8, qn 0x1dbb, opcode 0xd, syndrome 0x1, vendor syndrome 0x68

I also tried to use build_skb to construct skb, but because of the
existence of skb_shinfo, it must be behind the linear space, so this
method is not working. We can't put skb_shinfo on desc->addr, it will be
exposed to users, this is not safe.

Finally, I added a feature NETIF_F_SKB_NO_LINEAR to identify whether the
network card supports the header information of the packet in the frag
and not in the linear space.

Looks like a good perf bump. Some easy suggestions below

Passing a 'int *err' here is ugly IMO use the ERR_PTR/PTR_ERR macros
and roll it into the return value.

or maybe use the out: pattern used in the kernel, but just doing direct
returns like now but with ERR_PTR() would also be fine.

Otherwise looks good thanks.

Could you please break this new feature bit into its own patch and
produce a patch set. Patch 1 being the NETIF_F_SKB_NO_LINEAR bit
addition and patch 2 being the xsk part. I can then ack patch 2 since
I am one of the maintainers of that, and then the owner of the netdev
bits can ack that part (whoever that is?). The bit addition looks fine
to me, but I am not the owner of those feature bits, so I would feel
somewhat awkward to ack that.

Otherwise, good performance boost. I like it. Thank you!

Nice, but it looks like the patch presented wouldn't compile.
It's worth retesting after you actually make it compile.

Rather than passing int *err, you can return PTR_ERR.

So err is int here

I think the best would be if you will split this patch into three:
 - the first one will introduce NETI_F_SKB_NO_LINEAR;
 - the second will add this feature to virtio_net;
 - the third will do the rest.

Also, it would be nice if you'll mention (in the cover letter or
in the third patch) that in order to get a nice boost on non-ZC
XSK xmit developers can add a support for completely non-linear
skbs and advertise this new feature in their drivers. I think
there'll be enough folks wanting to do this.

I completely forgot to add that you'd better to mention in both
enumeration/feature and its Ethtool string that the feature applies
to Tx path.
Smth like:

NETIF_F_SKB_TX_NO_LINEAR{,_BIT}, "skb-tx-no-linear"
or
NETIF_F_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR{,_BIT}, "tx-skb-no-linear"

Otherwise, it may be confusing for users and developers.

OR, I think we may tight the feature with the new approach to build
skbs by page as it makes no sense for anything else.
So, if we define something like:

NETIF_F_XSK_TX_GENERIC_ZC{,_BIT}, "xsk-tx-generic-zerocopy",

then user can toggle your new XSK Tx path on/off via Ethtool for
drivers that will support it (don't forget to add it to hw_features
for virtio_net then).

Is there ever a reason not to use this path if it is available? If
not, then it would IMO be better if the xsk base code could probe for
this bit and always use this faster path when the feature is supported
by the driver. If it is not supported by the driver, we will just fall
back on the old approach. This way, the user would get better
performance without having to know it needs to toggle some special bit
using Ethtool.

This one I misunderstood first. I thought: "this is not zerocopy", but
you are right it is. It is zero-copy implemented with skb:s. But in my
mind, the NO_LINEAR version that you suggested are clearer.

User don't need to enable manually this, drivers usually enable most
of their features on netdevice creation. This way we just could have
an option to turn it off.

If the feature is not about to be exposed to user at all, only to
indicate if a particular driver supports skbs with skb_headlen == 0
on its .ndo_start_xmit() path, then it might be better to introduce
a private flag (netdev_priv_flags) instead of netdev_feature. Private
flags are kernel-only and can't be toggled on/off after netdev is
registered.
E.g.

IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR

and test it like

if (dev->priv_flags & IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR) {
	/* new generic zerocopy path */
} else {
	/* current code */
}

Just noticed. i++ would be less confusing here. You start to fill
skb frags from frag 0 anyway.

Also. It's better to use min_t() in this case:

copy = min_t(u32, PAGE_SIZE - offset, len - copied);

instead of manual casting.
