Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] page_pool: bnxt_en: unlink old page pool in queue api using helper

56ef27e3 unexported page_pool_unlink_napi() and renamed it to
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling(). This is because there was no
in-tree user of page_pool_unlink_napi().

Since then Rx queue API and an implementation in bnxt got merged. In the
bnxt implementation, it broadly follows the following steps: allocate
new queue memory + page pool, stop old rx queue, swap, then destroy old
queue memory + page pool.

The existing NAPI instance is re-used so when the old page pool that is
no longer used but still linked to this shared NAPI instance is
destroyed, it will trigger warnings.

In my initial patches I unlinked a page pool from a NAPI instance
directly. Instead, export page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() and call
that instead to avoid having a driver touch a core struct.

  bnxt_en: unlink page pool when stopping Rx queue
