Can you please change this to:
 [... can be used without] xdp memory model.

Found an issue, see below.

I don't think this is correct according to RCU.

Let me reproduce the resulting version of page_pool_free():

 static void page_pool_free(struct page_pool *pool)
 {
	if (pool->disconnect)
		pool->disconnect(pool);

	ptr_ring_cleanup(&pool->ring, NULL);

	if (pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP)
		put_device(pool->p.dev);

	kfree(pool);
 }

The issue is that pool->disconnect() will call into
mem_allocator_disconnect() -> mem_xa_remove(), and mem_xa_remove() does
a RCU delayed free.  And this function immediately does a kfree(pool).

I do know that we can ONLY reach this page_pool_free() function, when
inflight == 0, but that can happen as soon as __page_pool_clean_page()
does the decrement, and after this trace_page_pool_state_release()
still have access the page_pool object (thus, hard to catch use-after-free).
