+API interface
+=============
+As the design and implementation of page_frag API, the allocation side does not
+allow concurrent calling, it is assumed that the caller must ensure there is not
+concurrent alloc calling to the same page_frag_cache instance by using it's own
+lock or rely on some lockless guarantee like NAPI softirq.
+
+Depending on different use cases, callers expecting to deal with va, page or
+both va and page for them may call page_frag_alloc_va*, page_frag_alloc_pg*,
+or page_frag_alloc* API accordingly.
+
+There is also a use case that need minimum memory in order for forward
+progressing, but can do better if there is more memory available. Introduce
+page_frag_alloc_prepare() and page_frag_alloc_commit() related API, the caller
+requests the minimum memory it need and the prepare API will return the maximum
+size of the fragment returned, caller need to report back to the page_frag core
+how much memory it actually use by calling commit API, or not calling the commit
+API if deciding to not use any memory.
