Subject: [RFC net-next 0/6] page_pool: recycle buffers

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@...rosoft.com>

This series enables recycling of the buffers allocated with the page_pool API.
The first two patches are just prerequisite to save space in a struct and
avoid recycling pages allocated with other API.
Patch 2 was based on a previous idea from Jonathan Lemon.

The third one is the real recycling, 4 fixes the compilation of __skb_frag_unref
users, and 5,6 enable the recycling on two drivers.

In the last two patches I reported the improvement I have with the series.

The recycling as is can't be used with drivers like mlx5 which do page split,
but this is documented in a comment.
In the future, a refcount can be used so to support mlx5 with no changes.

Ilias Apalodimas (2):
  page_pool: DMA handling and frame recycling via SKBs
  net: change users of __skb_frag_unref() and add an extra argument

Jesper Dangaard Brouer (1):
  xdp: reduce size of struct xdp_mem_info

Matteo Croce (3):
  mm: add a signature in struct page
  mvpp2: recycle buffers
  mvneta: recycle buffers
