Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] Change page_pool timeout handling

It isn't safe to remove the page pool until all in-flight pages 
are returned.  If the pages are handed up the stack, it might be
a while before they are returned.

The page pool can also be used independently of xdp, so it shouldn't
be depending on timeout handling from xdp.  Change things around so
the pool handles its own timeout.

I wanted to send this out to clarify how I see things working.  This
is currently being tested with the mlx4/mlx5 drivers for attaching 
DMA-mapped pages to skbs, sending them up the stack, and then putting
them back in the page pool afterwards.

Jonathan Lemon (1):
  page_pool: do not release pool until inflight == 0.
