As mentioned before, it seems we need to have the above checking every
time we need to do some per-page handling in page_pool core, is there
a plan in your mind how to remove those kind of checking in the future?

Even though a static_branch check is added in page_is_page_pool_iov(), it
does not make much sense that a core has tow different 'struct' for its
most basic data.

IMHO, the ppiov for dmabuf is forced fitting into page_pool without much
design consideration at this point.

For now, the above may work for the the rx part as it seems that you are
only enabling rx for dmabuf for now.

What is the plan to enable tx for dmabuf? If it is also intergrated into
page_pool? There was a attempt to enable page_pool for tx, Eric seemed to
have some comment about this:
https://lkml.kernel.org/netdev/2cf4b672-d7dc-db3d-ce90-15b4e91c4005@huawei.com/T/#mb6ab62dc22f38ec621d516259c56dd66353e24a2

If tx is not intergrated into page_pool, do we need to create a new layer for
the tx dmabuf?
