net: page_pool: add the possibility to sync DMA memory for device
Introduce the following parameters in order to add the possibility to sync DMA memory for device before putting allocated pages in the page_pool caches: - PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV: if set in page_pool_params flags, all pages that the driver gets from page_pool will be DMA-synced-for-device according to the length provided by the device driver. Please note DMA-sync-for-CPU is still device driver responsibility - offset: DMA address offset where the DMA engine starts copying rx data - max_len: maximum DMA memory size page_pool is allowed to flush. This is currently used in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow routine when pages are allocated from page allocator These parameters are supposed to be set by device drivers. This optimization reduces the length of the DMA-sync-for-device. The optimization is valid because pages are initially DMA-synced-for-device as defined via max_len. At RX time, the driver will perform a DMA-sync-for-CPU on the memory for the packet length. What is important is the memory occupied by packet payload, because this is the area CPU is allowed to read and modify. As we don't track cache-lines written into by the CPU, simply use the packet payload length as dma_sync_size at page_pool recycle time. This also take into account any tail-extend.
