Subject: [PATCH net] page_pool: store detach_time as ktime_t to avoid false-negatives
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 12:40:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260307204022.1897614-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
While testing other changes in vng I noticed that
nl_netdev.page_pool_check flakes. This never happens in real CI.
Turns out vng may boot and get to that test in less than a second.
page_pool_detached() records the detach time in seconds, so if
vng is fast enough detach time is set to 0. Other code treats
0 as "not detached". detach_time is only used to report the state
to the user, so it's not a huge deal in practice but let's fix it.
Store the raw ktime_t (nanoseconds) instead. A nanosecond value
of 0 is practically impossible.
Fixes: 69cb4952b6f6 ("net: page_pool: report when page pool was destroyed")
