Did a quick compare testing for the following 3 scenarios: 
1. original implementation 

shenwei@...0:~$ iperf -c 10.81.16.245 -w 2m -i 1

3. page pool with skb_mark_for_recycle

shenwei@...0:~$ iperf -c 10.81.16.245 -w 2m -i 1
------------------------------------------------------------

[  1] 0.0000-10.0069 sec  1.09 GBytes   934 Mbits/sec

For small packet size (64 bytes), all three cases have almost the same result:

shenwei@...0:~$ iperf -c 10.81.16.245 -w 2m -i 1 -l 64
------------------------------------------------------------
