<title>netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdevice</title>

<id>170aafe35cb98e0f3fbacb446ea86389fbce22ea</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a netdev_dmabuf_binding struct which represents the
dma-buf-to-netdevice binding. The netlink API will bind the dma-buf to
rx queues on the netdevice. On the binding, the dma_buf_attach
&amp; dma_buf_map_attachment will occur. The entries in the sg_table from
mapping will be inserted into a genpool to make it ready
for allocation.

The chunks in the genpool are owned by a dmabuf_chunk_owner struct which
holds the dma-buf offset of the base of the chunk and the dma_addr of
the chunk. Both are needed to use allocations that come from this chunk.

We create a new type that represents an allocation from the genpool:
net_iov. We setup the net_iov allocation size in the
genpool to PAGE_SIZE for simplicity: to match the PAGE_SIZE normally
allocated by the page pool and given to the drivers.

The user can unbind the dmabuf from the netdevice by closing the netlink
socket that established the binding. We do this so that the binding is
automatically unbound even if the userspace process crashes.

The binding and unbinding leaves an indicator in struct netdev_rx_queue
that the given queue is bound, and the binding is actuated by resetting
the rx queue using the queue API.

The netdev_dmabuf_binding struct is refcounted, and releases its
resources only when all the refs are released.

-EINVAL is used and no extack is set.

Change the return value to -ENOENT and set the extack.

-EINVAL will interrupt the dump. The correct error to return
if we have more data to dump is -EMSGSIZE.

Discovered by doing:

Having to filter the right ifindex in the tests is a bit tedious.
Add support for dumping qstats for a single ifindex.

Rx alloc failures are commonly counted by drivers.
Support reporting those via netdev-genl queue stats.

The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol
related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under
ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink
API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new
drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to
driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report
only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats
involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is
read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user
space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel
how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime
kernel will overflow user buffer.

Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is
exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there.
Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful
when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than
just bytes and packets.

The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats.
The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not
matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).
