Subject: [PATCH net] net: add net_iov_init() and use it to initialize ->page_type
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:53:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428025320.853452-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

Commit db359fccf212 ("mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in
page type") added a page_type field to struct net_iov at the same
offset as struct page::page_type, so that page_pool_set_pp_info() can
call __SetPageNetpp() uniformly on both pages and net_iovs.

The page-type API requires the field to hold the UINT_MAX "no type"
sentinel before a type can be set; for real struct page that invariant
is established by the page allocator on free. struct net_iov is not
allocated through the page allocator, so the field is left as zero
(io_uring zcrx, which uses __GFP_ZERO) or as slab garbage (devmem,
which uses kvmalloc_objs() without zeroing). When the page pool then
calls page_pool_set_pp_info() on a freshly-bound niov,
__SetPageNetpp()'s VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->page_type != UINT_MAX) fires
and the kernel BUGs. Triggered in selftests by io_uring zcrx setup
through the fbnic queue restart path:

  </TASK>

The same path is reachable through devmem dmabuf binding via
netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit() -> net_devmem_bind_dmabuf_to_queue().

Add a net_iov_init() helper that stamps ->owner, ->type and the
->page_type sentinel, and use it from both the devmem and io_uring
zcrx niov init loops.
