When CONFIG_SYSFS is not set, the kernel fails to compile:

     net/core/page_pool_user.c:368:45: error: implicit declaration of function 'get_netdev_rx_queue_index' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      368 |                 if (pool->slow.queue_idx == get_netdev_rx_queue_index(rxq)) {
          |                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When CONFIG_SYSFS is not set, get_netdev_rx_queue_index() is not defined
as well. In this case, page_pool_check_memory_provider() cannot check
the memory provider, and a success answer can be returned instead.

Thanks Matthieu, and sorry about that.

I have reproduced the build error and the fix resolves it. But...

...we can't assume success when we cannot check the memory provider.
The memory provider check is somewhat critical; we rely on it to
detect that the driver does not support memory providers or is not
doing the right thing, and report that to the user. I don't think we
can silently disable the check when the CONFIG_SYSFS is disabled.
Please return -ENODATA or some other error here.

If we disable devmem TCP for !CONFIG_SYSFS we should probably add
something to the docs saying this. I can do that in a follow up
change.

However, I'm looking at the definition of get_netdev_rx_queue_index()
and at first glance I don't see anything there that is actually
dependent on CONFIG_SYSFS. Can we do this instead? I have build-tested
it and it resolves the build issue as well:

I initially returned 0 to have the same behaviour as when
CONFIG_PAGE_POOL is not defined. But thanks to your explanations, I
understand it seems better to return -ENODATA here. Or another errno, to
let the userspace understanding there is a different error? I can send a
v2 after the 24h rate-limit period if you are OK with that.

Good point, thank you.

I briefly looked at taking this path when I saw what this helper was
doing, but then I saw all operations related to the received queues were
enabled only when CONFIG_SYSFS is set, see commit a953be53ce40
("net-sysfs: add support for device-specific rx queue sysfs
attributes"). I understood from that it is better not to look at
dev->_rx or dev->num_rx_queues when CONFIG_SYSFS is not set. I'm not
very familiar to that part of the code, but it feels like removing this
#ifdef might be similar to the "return 0" I suggested: silently
disabling the check, no?

I *think* it might be clearer to return an error when SYSFS is not set.

> Matthieu, I'm happy to follow up with v2 of this fix if you don't have time.
If you prefer to explore other ways than returning an error in
page_pool_check_memory_provider() when SYSFS is not set, yes please do
the follow-up if you don't mind. My main goal is to stop my CI to
complain about that when compiling with 'make tinyconfig' + MPTCP :)

Cheers,
Matt

Yes, -EOPNOTSUPP would be my preference here. I think it makes sense,
we should not support memory-providers on configs where core can't
verify that the driver did the right thing.

FWIW it looks like commit e817f85652c1 ("xdp: generic XDP handling of
xdp_rxq_info") reverted almost all the CONFIG_SYSFS checks set by
commit a953be53ce40 ("net-sysfs: add support for device-specific rx
queue sysfs attributes"), at least from a quick look.

But I understand your CI is probably very annoyed by the build
failure. I would be happy to reviewed-by a patch with just the change
to the error return value, and I can look into making this work with
CONFIG_SYSFS after the merge window.

That's right, just delete the ifdef. I should have done that when
I moved the helper. Please send the fix ASAP.
