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.

<title>page_pool: Don't recycle non-reusable pages</title>

A page is NOT reusable when at least one of the following is true:
1) allocated when system was under some pressure. (page_is_pfmemalloc)
2) belongs to a different NUMA node than pool-&gt;p.nid.

To update pool-&gt;p.nid users should call page_pool_update_nid().

Holding on to such pages in the pool will hurt the consumer performance
when the pool migrates to a different numa node.

Performance testing:
XDP drop/tx rate and TCP single/multi stream, on mlx5 driver
while migrating rx ring irq from close to far numa:

mlx5 internal page cache was locally disabled to get pure page pool
results.

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v4 @ 1.70GHz
NIC: Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4] (100G)

XDP Drop/TX single core:
NUMA  | XDP  | Before    | After
---------------------------------------
Close | Drop | 11   Mpps | 10.9 Mpps
Far   | Drop | 4.4  Mpps | 5.8  Mpps

Close | TX   | 6.5 Mpps  | 6.5 Mpps
Far   | TX   | 3.5 Mpps  | 4  Mpps

Improvement is about 30% drop packet rate, 15% tx packet rate for numa
far test.
No degradation for numa close tests.

TCP single/multi cpu/stream:
NUMA  | #cpu | Before  | After
--------------------------------------
Close | 1    | 18 Gbps | 18 Gbps
Far   | 1    | 15 Gbps | 18 Gbps
Close | 12   | 80 Gbps | 80 Gbps
Far   | 12   | 68 Gbps | 80 Gbps

In all test cases we see improvement for the far numa case, and no
impact on the close numa case.

The impact of adding a check per page is very negligible, and shows no
performance degradation whatsoever, also functionality wise it seems more
correct and more robust for page pool to verify when pages should be
recycled, since page pool can't guarantee where pages are coming from.

Add page_pool_update_nid() to be called by page pool consumers when they
detect numa node changes.

It will update the page pool nid value to start allocating from the new
effective numa node.

This is to mitigate page pool allocating pages from a wrong numa node,
where the pool was originally allocated, and holding on to pages that
belong to a different numa node, which causes performance degradation.

For pages that are already being consumed and could be returned to the
pool by the consumer, in next patch we will add a check per page to avoid
recycling them back to the pool and return them to the page allocator.

When Jonathan change the page_pool to become responsible to its
own shutdown via deferred work queue, then the disconnect_cnt
counter was removed from xdp memory model tracepoint.

This patch change the page_pool_inflight tracepoint name to
page_pool_release, because it reflects the new responsability
better.  And it reintroduces a counter that reflect the number of
times page_pool_release have been tried.

The counter is also used by the code, to only empty the alloc
cache once.  With a stuck work queue running every second and
counter being 64-bit, it will overrun in approx 584 billion
years. For comparison, Earth lifetime expectancy is 7.5 billion
years, before the Sun will engulf, and destroy, the Earth.

<title>page_pool: do not release pool until inflight == 0.</title>

The page pool keeps track of the number of pages in flight, and
it isn't safe to remove the pool until all pages are returned.

Disallow removing the pool until all pages are back, so the pool
is always available for page producers.

Make the page pool responsible for its own delayed destruction
instead of relying on XDP, so the page pool can be used without
the xdp memory model.

When all pages are returned, free the pool and notify xdp if the
pool is registered with the xdp memory system.  Have the callback
perform a table walk since some drivers (cpsw) may share the pool
among multiple xdp_rxq_info.

Note that the increment of pages_state_release_cnt may result in
inflight == 0, resulting in the pool being released.

__page_pool_get_cached() will return NULL when the ring is
empty, even if there are pages present in the lookaside cache.

It is also possible to refill the cache, and then return a

Jesper recently removed page_pool_destroy() (from driver invocation)
and moved shutdown and free of page_pool into xdp_rxq_info_unreg(),
in-order to handle in-flight packets/pages. This created an asymmetry
in drivers create/destroy pairs.

This patch reintroduce page_pool_destroy and add page_pool user
refcnt. This serves the purpose to simplify drivers error handling as
driver now drivers always calls page_pool_destroy() and don't need to
track if xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() was unsuccessful.

This could be used for a special cases where a single RX-queue (with a
single page_pool) provides packets for two net_device'es, and thus
needs to register the same page_pool twice with two xdp_rxq_info
structures.

This patch is primarily to ease API usage for drivers. The recently
merged netsec driver, actually have a bug in this area, which is
solved by this API change.

This patch is a modified version of Ivan Khoronzhuk's original patch.

For DMA mapping use-case the page_pool keeps a pointer
to the struct device, which is used in DMA map/unmap calls.

For our in-flight handling, we also need to make sure that
the struct device have not disappeared.  This is assured
via using get_device/put_device API.

The xdp tracepoints for mem id disconnect don't carry information about, why
it was not safe_to_remove.  The tracepoint page_pool:page_pool_inflight in
this patch can be used for extract this info for further debugging.

This patchset also adds tracepoint for the pages_state_* release/hold
transitions, including a pointer to the page.  This can be used for stats
about in-flight pages, or used to debug page leakage via keeping track of
page pointer and combining this with kprobe for __put_page().
