The\nreferenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5\ndriver that the XDP buffer layout doesn't change during a program\nexecution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped\nfragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page\nfragment reference counting issues.\n\nSuch issue can be observed with the\ntest_xdp_native_adjst_tail_shrnk_data selftest when using a payload of\n3600 and shrinking by 256 bytes (an upcoming selftest patch): the last\nfragment gets released by the XDP code but doesn't get tracked by the\ndriver. This results in a negative pp_ref_count during page release and\nthe following splat:\n\n WARNING: include/net/page_pool/helpers.h:297 at mlx5e_page_release_fragmented.isra.0+0x4a/0x50 [mlx5_core], CPU#12: ip/3137\n Modules linked in: [...]\n CPU: 12 UID: 0 PID: 3137 Comm: ip Not tainted 6.19.0-rc3+ #12 NONE\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.16.3-0-ga6ed6b701f0a-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n RIP: 0010:mlx5e_page_release_fragmented.isra.0+0x4a/0x50 [mlx5_core]\n [...]\n Call Trace:\n \n mlx5e_dealloc_rx_wqe+0xcb/0x1a0 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_free_rx_descs+0x7f/0x110 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_close_rq+0x50/0x60 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_close_queues+0x36/0x2c0 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_close_channel+0x1c/0x50 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_close_channels+0x45/0x80 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_safe_switch_params+0x1a5/0x230 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_change_mtu+0xf3/0x2f0 [mlx5_core]\n netif_set_mtu_ext+0xf1/0x230\n do_setlink.isra.0+0x219/0x1180\n rtnl_newlink+0x79f/0xb60\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x213/0x3a0\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x48/0xf0\n netlink_unicast+0x24a/0x350\n netlink_sendmsg+0x1ee/0x410\n __sock_sendmsg+0x38/0x60\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x232/0x280\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x78/0xb0\n __sys_sendmsg+0x5f/0xb0\n [...]\n do_syscall_64+0x57/0xc50\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by doing page frag counting on all the\noriginal XDP buffer fragments for all relevant XDP actions (XDP_TX ,\nXDP_REDIRECT and XDP_PASS).
