+API interface
+=============
+As the design and implementation of page_frag API implies, the allocation side
+does not allow concurrent calling. Instead it is assumed that the caller must
+ensure there is not concurrent alloc calling to the same page_frag_cache
+instance by using its own lock or rely on some lockless guarantee like NAPI
+softirq.
+
+Depending on different aligning requirement, the page_frag API caller may call
+page_frag_alloc*_align*() to ensure the returned virtual address or offset of
+the page is aligned according to the 'align/alignment' parameter. Note the size
+of the allocated fragment is not aligned, the caller need to provide a aligned
+fragsz if there is a alignment requirement for the size of the fragment.
+
+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 more performant if more memory is available. Using
+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, the caller needs to either call the commit API to
+report how much memory it actually uses, or not do so if deciding to not use any
+memory.
