Subject: [PATCH bpf] cpumap: disable page_pool direct xdp_return need larger scope
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 20:24:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <175519587755.3008742.1088294435150406835.stgit@firesoul> (raw)

When running an XDP bpf_prog on the remote CPU in cpumap code
then we must disable the direct return optimization that
xdp_return can perform for mem_type page_pool.  This optimization
assumes code is still executing under RX-NAPI of the original
receiving CPU, which isn't true on this remote CPU.

The cpumap code already disabled this via helpers
xdp_set_return_frame_no_direct() and xdp_clear_return_frame_no_direct(),
but the scope didn't include xdp_do_flush().

When doing XDP_REDIRECT towards e.g devmap this causes the
function bq_xmit_all() to run with direct return optimization
enabled. This can lead to hard to find bugs.  The issue
only happens when bq_xmit_all() cannot ndo_xdp_xmit all
frames and them frees them via xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().

Fix by expanding scope to include xdp_do_flush().
