dmabuf dma-addresses should not be dma_sync'd for CPU/device. Typically its the driver responsibility to dma_sync for CPU, but the driver should not dma_sync for CPU if the netmem is actually coming from a dmabuf memory provider. The page_pool already exposes a helper for dma_sync_for_cpu: page_pool_dma_sync_for_cpu. Upgrade this existing helper to handle netmem, and have it skip dma_sync if the memory is from a dmabuf memory provider. Drivers should migrate to using this helper when adding support for netmem. Also minimize the impact on the dma syncing performance for pages. Special case the dma-sync path for pages to not go through the overhead checks for dma-syncing and conversion to netmem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
