Subject: [PATCH intel-net 0/3] ice: fix Rx data path for heavy 9k MTU traffic

Hello in 2025,

this patchset fixes a pretty nasty issue that was reported by RedHat
folks which occured after ~30 minutes (this value varied, just trying
here to state that it was not observed immediately but rather after a
considerable longer amount of time) when ice driver was tortured with
jumbo frames via mix of iperf traffic executed simultaneously with
wrk/nginx on client/server sides (HTTP and TCP workloads basically).

The reported splats were spanning across all the bad things that can
happen to the state of page - refcount underflow, use-after-free, etc.
One of these looked as follows:

The fix is mostly about reverting what was done in commit 1dc1a7e7f410
("ice: Centrallize Rx buffer recycling") followed by proper timing on
page_count() storage and then removing the ice_rx_buf::act related logic
(which was mostly introduced for purposes from cited commit).

Special thanks to Xu Du for providing reproducer and Jacob Keller for
initial extensive analysis.

Thanks,
Maciej

Maciej Fijalkowski (3):
  ice: put Rx buffers after being done with current frame
  ice: gather page_count()'s of each frag right before XDP prog call
  ice: stop storing XDP verdict within ice_rx_buf
