Rename the 'tx_vec' field in struct net_devmem_dmabuf_binding to 'vec'.
This field holds pointers to net_iov structures. The rename prepares for
reusing 'vec' for both TX and RX directions.
No functional change intended.

Refactor sock_devmem_dontneed() in preparation for supporting both
autorelease and manual token release modes.
Split the function into two parts:
- sock_devmem_dontneed(): handles input validation, token allocation,
and copying from userspace
- sock_devmem_dontneed_autorelease(): performs the actual token release
via xarray lookup and page pool put
This separation allows a future commit to add a parallel
sock_devmem_dontneed_manual_release() function that uses a different
token tracking mechanism (per-niov reference counting) without
duplicating the input validation logic.
The refactoring is purely mechanical with no functional change. Only
intended to minimize the noise in subsequent patches.

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>
Add support for autorelease toggling of tokens using a static branch to
control system-wide behavior. This allows applications to choose between
two memory management modes:
1. Autorelease on: Leaked tokens are automatically released when the
socket closes.
2. Autorelease off: Leaked tokens are released during dmabuf unbind.
The autorelease mode is requested via the NETDEV_A_DMABUF_AUTORELEASE
attribute of the NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX message. Having separate modes per
binding is disallowed and is rejected by netlink. The system will be
"locked" into the mode that the first binding is set to. It can only be
changed again once there are zero bindings on the system.
Disabling autorelease offers ~13% improvement in CPU utilization.
Static branching is used to limit the system to one mode or the other.

Changes in v8:
- Only reset static key when bindings go to zero, defaulting back to
disabled (Stan).
- Fix bad usage of xarray spinlock for sleepy static branch switching,
use mutex instead.
- Access pp_ref_count via niov->desc instead of niov directly.
- Move reset of static key to __net_devmem_dmabuf_binding_free() so that
the static key can not be changed while there are outstanding tokens
(free is only called when reference count reaches zero).
- Add net_devmem_dmabuf_rx_bindings_count because tokens may be active
even after xa_erase(), so static key changes must wait until all
RX bindings are finally freed (not just when xarray is empty). A
counter is a simple way to track this.
- socket takes reference on the binding, to avoid use-after-free on
sk_devmem_info.binding in the case that user releases all tokens,
unbinds, then issues SO_DEVMEM_DONTNEED again (with bad token).
- removed some comments that were unnecessary
Changes in v7:
- implement autorelease with static branch (Stan)
- use netlink instead of sockopt (Stan)
- merge uAPI and implementation patches into one patch (seemed less
confusing)
Changes in v6:
- remove sk_devmem_info.autorelease, using binding->autorelease instead
- move binding->autorelease check to outside of
net_devmem_dmabuf_binding_put_urefs() (Mina)
- remove overly defensive net_is_devmem_iov() (Mina)
- add comment about multiple urefs mapping to a single netmem ref (Mina)
- remove overly defense netmem NULL and netmem_is_net_iov checks (Mina)
- use niov without casting back and forth with netmem (Mina)
- move the autorelease flag from per-binding to per-socket (Mina)
- remove the batching logic in sock_devmem_dontneed_manual_release()
(Mina)
- move autorelease check inside tcp_xa_pool_commit() (Mina)
- remove single-binding restriction for autorelease mode (Mina)
- unbind always checks for leaked urefs
Changes in v5:
- remove unused variables
- introduce autorelease flag, preparing for future patch toggle new
behavior
Changes in v3:
- make urefs per-binding instead of per-socket, reducing memory
footprint
- fallback to cleaning up references in dmabuf unbind if socket leaked
tokens
- drop ethtool patch
Changes in v2:
- always use GFP_ZERO for binding->vec (Mina)
- remove WARN for changed binding (Mina)
- remove extraneous binding ref get (Mina)
- remove WARNs on invalid user input (Mina)
- pre-assign niovs in binding->vec for RX case (Mina)
- use atomic_set(, 0) to initialize sk_user_frags.urefs
- fix length of alloc for urefs

Update devmem.rst documentation to describe the autorelease netlink
attribute used during RX dmabuf binding.
The autorelease attribute is specified at bind-time via the netlink API
(NETDEV_CMD_BIND_RX) and controls what happens to outstanding tokens
when the socket closes.
Document the two token release modes (automatic vs manual), how to
configure the binding for autorelease, the perf benefits, new caveats
and restrictions, and the way the mode is enforced system-wide.
Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Changes in v7:
- Document netlink instead of sockopt
- Mention system-wide locked to one mode

+
+Autorelease Control
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The autorelease mode controls what happens to outstanding tokens (tokens not
+released via SO_DEVMEM_DONTNEED) when the socket closes. Autorelease is
+configured per-binding at binding creation time via the netlink API::
+
+ struct netdev_bind_rx_req *req;
+ struct netdev_bind_rx_rsp *rsp;
+ struct ynl_sock *ys;
+ struct ynl_error yerr;
+
+ ys = ynl_sock_create(&ynl_netdev_family, &yerr);
+
+ req = netdev_bind_rx_req_alloc();
+ netdev_bind_rx_req_set_ifindex(req, ifindex);
+ netdev_bind_rx_req_set_fd(req, dmabuf_fd);
+ netdev_bind_rx_req_set_autorelease(req, 0); /* 0 = manual, 1 = auto */
+ __netdev_bind_rx_req_set_queues(req, queues, n_queues);
+
+ rsp = netdev_bind_rx(ys, req);
+
+ dmabuf_id = rsp->id;
+
+When autorelease is disabled (0):
+
+- Outstanding tokens are NOT released when the socket closes
+- Outstanding tokens are only released when the dmabuf is unbound
+- Provides better performance by eliminating xarray overhead (~13% CPU reduction)
+- Kernel tracks tokens via atomic reference counters in net_iov structures
+
+When autorelease is enabled (1):
+
+- Outstanding tokens are automatically released when the socket closes
+- Backwards compatible behavior
+- Kernel tracks tokens in an xarray per socket
+
+The default is autorelease disabled.
+
+Important: In both modes, applications should call SO_DEVMEM_DONTNEED to
+return tokens as soon as they are done processing. The autorelease setting only
+affects what happens to tokens that are still outstanding when close() is called.
+
+The mode is enforced system-wide. Once a binding is created with a specific
+autorelease mode, all subsequent bindings system-wide must use the same mode.
+
+
+Performance Considerations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Disabling autorelease provides approximately ~13% CPU utilization improvement
+in RX workloads. That said, applications must ensure all tokens are released
+via SO_DEVMEM_DONTNEED before closing the socket, otherwise the backing pages
+will remain pinned until the dmabuf is unbound.
+
+
+Caveats
+~~~~~~~
+
+- Once a system-wide autorelease mode is selected (via the first binding),
+ all subsequent bindings must use the same mode. Attempts to create bindings
+ with a different mode will be rejected with -EINVAL.
+
+- Applications using manual release mode (autorelease=0) must ensure all tokens
+ are returned via SO_DEVMEM_DONTNEED before socket close to avoid resource
+ leaks during the lifetime of the dmabuf binding. Tokens not released before
+ close() will only be freed when the dmabuf is unbound.

I see that net_devmem_dmabuf_binding_get() is lacking a
stub for CONFIG_NET_DEVMEM=n ...
Just curious how pw works... is this a randconfig catch? I ask because
all of the build targets pass for this series (build_allmodconfig_warn,
build_clang, etc.. locally and on patchwork.kernel.org), and if there is
a config that pw uses that I'm missing in my local checks I'd like to
add it.
Best,
Bobby
