Merge branch 'xdp: recycle Page Pool backed skbs built from XDP frames'
Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== Yeah, I still remember that "Who needs cpumap nowadays" (c), but anyway. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() missed the moment when the networking stack became able to recycle skb pages backed by a page_pool. This was making e.g. cpumap redirect even less effective than simple %XDP_PASS. veth was also affected in some scenarios. A lot of drivers use skb_mark_for_recycle() already, it's been almost two years and seems like there are no issues in using it in the generic code too. {__,}xdp_release_frame() can be then removed as it losts its last user. Page Pool becomes then zero-alloc (or almost) in the abovementioned cases, too. Other memory type models (who needs them at this point) have no changes.
