Merge branch 'minor-cleanups-to-skb-frag-ref-unref'
Mina Almasry says: ==================== Minor cleanups to skb frag ref/unref (part) This series is largely motivated by a recent discussion where there was some confusion on how to properly ref/unref pp pages vs non pp pages: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAHS8izOoO-EovwMwAm9tLYetwikNPxC0FKyVGu1TPJWSz4bGoA@mail.gmail.com/T/#t There is some subtely there because pp uses page->pp_ref_count for refcounting, while non-pp uses get_page()/put_page() for ref counting. Getting the refcounting pairs wrong can lead to kernel crash.
