Alexander Lobakin says:

Now that ice uses libeth for managing Rx buffers and supports
configurable header split, it's ready to get support for sending
and receiving packets with unreadable (to the kernel) frags.

Extend libeth just a little bit to allow creating PPs with custom
memory providers and make sure ice works correctly with the netdev
ops locking. Then add the full set of queue_mgmt_ops and don't
unmap unreadable frags on Tx completion.
No perf regressions for the regular flows and no code duplication
implied.

Credits to the fbnic developers, which's code helped me understand
the memory providers and queue_mgmt_ops logics and served as
a reference.

From: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com>

Since recently, page_pool_create() accepts optional stack index of
the Rx queue which the pool will be created for. It can then be
used on control path for stuff like memory providers.
Add the same field to libeth_fq and pass the index from all the
drivers using libeth for managing Rx to simplify implementing MP
support later.
idpf has one libeth_fq per buffer/fill queue and each Rx queue has
two fill queues, but since fill queues can never be shared, we can
store the corresponding Rx queue index there during the
initialization to pass it to libeth.

From: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com>

libeth uses netmems for quite some time already, so in order to
support unreadable frags / memory providers, it only needs to set
PP_FLAG_ALLOW_UNREADABLE_NETMEM when needed.
Also add a couple sanity checks to make sure the driver didn't mess
up the configuration options and, in case when an MP is installed,
return the truesize always equal to PAGE_SIZE, so that
libeth_rx_alloc() will never try to allocate frags. Memory providers
manage buffers on their own and expect 1:1 buffer / HW Rx descriptor
association.

Bonus: mention in the libeth_sqe_type description that
LIBETH_SQE_EMPTY should also be used for netmem Tx SQEs -- they
don't need DMA unmapping.

From: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com>

Queue management ops unconditionally enable netdev locking. The same
lock is taken by default by several NAPI configuration functions,
such as napi_enable() and netif_napi_set_irq().
Request ops locking in advance and make sure we use the _locked
counterparts of those functions to avoid deadlocks, taking the lock
manually where needed (suspend/resume, queue rebuild and resets).

From: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com>

Now ice is ready to get queue_mgmt_ops support. It already has API
to disable/reconfig/enable one particular queue (for XSk). Reuse as
much of its code as possible to implement Rx queue management
callbacks and vice versa -- ice_queue_mem_{alloc,free}() can be
reused during ifup/ifdown to elide code duplication.
With this, ice passes the io_uring zcrx selftests, meaning the Rx
part of netmem/MP support is done.

Advertise netmem Tx support in ice. The only change needed is to set
ICE_TX_BUF_FRAG conditionally, only when skb_frag_is_net_iov() is
false. Otherwise, the Tx buffer type will be ICE_TX_BUF_EMPTY and
the driver will skip the DMA unmapping operation.

ice: migrate to netdev ops lock

This commit migrates the ice driver to use netdev ops locking. Queue
management ops unconditionally enable netdev locking, so the driver now
uses _locked counterparts of NAPI configuration functions to avoid
deadlocks.

Does ice_dcb_ena_dis_vsi() need to acquire the netdev lock before calling
ice_dis_vsi_locked() and ice_ena_vsi()?

Looking at the disable path, ice_dis_vsi_locked() calls ice_vsi_close()
which goes through ice_down() -> ice_napi_disable_all() ->
napi_disable_locked(), and that function has netdev_assert_locked(n->dev) in
net/core/dev.c. Similarly, ice_vsi_close() calls
ice_vsi_clear_napi_queues_locked() -> netif_napi_set_irq_locked() which
checks netdev_assert_locked_or_invisible().

The enable path calls ice_ena_vsi() -> ice_open_internal() ->
ice_vsi_open(), and that now calls ice_vsi_set_napi_queues_locked() ->
netif_napi_set_irq_locked() (requires netdev lock) and ice_up_complete() ->
ice_napi_enable_all() -> napi_enable_locked().

The old code called ice_dis_vsi(vsi, locked) and ice_ena_vsi(vsi, locked)
where the old ice_dis_vsi() only dealt with rtnl_lock. The new code switches
to _locked variants that require the netdev lock but does not acquire it.

Callers ice_pf_dcb_cfg() and ice_dcb_process_lldp_set_mib_change() hold
rtnl_lock but not the netdev lock.

Does ice_ena_vsi() need to take the netdev lock before calling
ice_open_internal()?

ice_vsi_open() now calls ice_vsi_set_napi_queues_locked() which requires the
netdev lock via netif_napi_set_irq_locked() -> netdev_assert_locked_or_
invisible(). It also calls ice_up_complete() -> ice_napi_enable_all() ->
napi_enable_locked().

However, ice_ena_vsi() in ice_lib.c calls ice_open_internal() ->
ice_vsi_open() while holding only rtnl_lock, not the netdev lock. This path
is reached during PF reset rebuild:

ice_rebuild()
    ice_vsi_rebuild_by_type()
        ice_ena_vsi(vsi, false)
            ice_open_internal()
                ice_vsi_open()

The netdev lock is NOT held at this point. ice_vsi_rebuild() took and
released it earlier in ice_vsi_rebuild_by_type().

Additionally, if ice_up_complete() fails, the error path goes through
ice_down() -> ice_napi_disable_all() -> napi_disable_locked(), which has an
explicit netdev_assert_locked(n->dev) check.

Doesn't the DCB core take the netdev lock just like netdev_ops? Or it
only takes the RTNL?

This one... Looks fair. I need to adjust ice_ena_vsi() to take the
netdev lock instead of RTNL.

DCB is not covered by the instance lock.. but TBH purely because 
I just always forget it exists. Feel free to make it take the lock
if that makes more sense.

I'd leave as it is for this series to not increase the diffstat and room
for probably bugs (as other drivers would need adjustments in that
case). So I'll make ice to take the lock in its DCB code for now.

BTW, if it's not top secret, how do you run these AI reviews? Because
Tony used the same link as these reports provide to deploy a setup, but
we didn't manage to get as meaningful results as yours. That's why
several respins of this series only due to your AI reviews, sorry =\

Thanks,
Olek

Nothing secret, I didn't push it to the main NIPA repo because it
mostly vibecoded crap which is embarrassing. You can see it here:

https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa/tree/air

It is just Chris's prompts + semcode. We run the prompts with
sub-agents enabled (the "orc" prompt). Right now it runs on Claude,
the subagents are supposed to pick the model by themselves depending 
on complexity.

I don't think we do anything special, if anything it's probably the
mode (orc mode thing) that makes a difference?

That's possible. I'm still pursing it but, at least so far, I haven't 
found a way to get orc mode working with my tooling.

Thanks,
Tony

I guess you have a different LLM? For Claude Code its enough to tell it
"do X in a subagent" and it just spawns one.

It does use the Claude models, but it's not Claude Code :(
