So my intention with this naming that devmem.c contains all the
functions for all devmem tcp specific support. Currently the only
devmem we support is dmabuf. In the future, other devmem may be
supported and it can fit nicely in devmem.c. For example, if we want
to extend devmem TCP to support NVMe devices, we need to add support
for p2pdma, maybe, and we can add that support under the devmem.c
umbrella rather than add new files.

But I can rename to dmabuf.c if there is strong objection to the current na=
me.

FWIW Willem did weigh on this previously and said he prefers to have
it unguarded by a CONFIG, but I will submit to whatever the consensus
here. It shouldn't be a huge deal to add a CONFIG technically
speaking.

Yes, thanks for catching. I can change to net_devmem_ maybe or net_dmabuf_*=
.

Yes, good catch. I suspect we want to reuse this code for TX path. But
for now, I'll test with DMA_FROM_DEVICE and if I see no issues I'll
apply this change.

So the old queue, we stopped it, and if we fail to bring up the new
queue, then we want to start the old queue back up to get the queue
back to a workable state.

I don't see what we can do to recover if restarting the old queue
fails. Seems like it should be a requirement that the driver tries as
much as possible to keep the old queue restartable.

I can improve this by at least logging or warning if restarting the
old queue fails.

I think I needed to apply this condition to handle the case where
netdev_unbind_dmabuf() is called when binding->list is not initialized
or is empty.

netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit() will call unbind to free a partially
allocated binding in error paths, so, netdev_unbind_dmabuf() may be
called with a partially initialized binding. This is why we check for
binding->list is initialized here and check that rxq->binding =3D=3D
binding below. The main point is that netdev_unbind_dmabuf() may be
asked to unbind a partially bound dmabuf due to error paths.

Maybe a comment here will test this better. I will double confirm the
check is needed for the error paths in netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit().
