When converting an xdp_frame into an SKB, and sending this into the network stack, then the underlying XDP memory model need to release associated resources, because the network stack don't have callbacks for XDP memory models. The only memory model that needs this is page_pool, when a driver use the DMA-mapping feature. Introduce page_pool_release_page(), which basically does the same as page_pool_unmap_page(). Add xdp_release_frame() as the XDP memory model interface for calling it, if the memory model match MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL, to save the function call overhead for others. Have cpumap call xdp_release_frame() before xdp_scrub_frame(). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
