Subject: [PATCH net] eth: fbnic: remove the debugging trick of super high page bias
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2025 10:07:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250801170754.2439577-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
Alex added page bias of LONG_MAX, which is admittedly quite
a clever way of catching overflows of the pp ref count.
The page pool code was "optimized" to leave the ref at 1
for freed pages so it can't catch basic bugs by itself any more.
(Something we should probably address under DEBUG_NET...)
Unfortunately for fbnic since commit f7dc3248dcfb ("skbuff: Optimization
of SKB coalescing for page pool") core _may_ actually take two extra
pp refcounts, if one of them is returned before driver gives up the bias
the ret < 0 check in page_pool_unref_netmem() will trigger.
While at it add a FBNIC_ to the name of the driver constant.
Fixes: 0cb4c0a13723 ("eth: fbnic: Implement Rx queue alloc/start/stop/free")
