I checked that skb_frag_dma_map() calls dma_map_page() with page set to
skb_frag_page(frag) and offset set to skb_frag_off(frag) + offset where
offset is 0. This is thus equivalent to the line added below:

page_pool_get_dma_addr(skb_frag_page(frag)) + skb_frag_off(frag)

I checked that page_pool_get_dma_addr() cannot fail or return an invalid
mapping. The DMA mapping happens when bulk allocating the pp alloc cache
during __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow(). If DMA mapping fails during
page_pool_dma_map() then the page is not stored in the cache. Therefore
any pages allocated from the pp will have a valid DMA addr.

As discussed with Michael Chan, only XDP_TX will have multiple page
frags. Presumably only XDP_TX will have num_frags > 0 and enter this for
loop. Even though XDP_REDIRECT also calls bnxt_xmit_bd() from
__bnxt_xmit_xdp_redirect(), I assume xdp_buff_has_frags() returns false.

I trust that the page pool DMA mapping management is correct.

Both skb_frag_dma_map() and page_pool_dma_map() call into
dma_map_page_attrs(), but page_pool_dma_map() has flags
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC and DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING set whereas
skb_frag_dma_map() has no flags.

DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING is optional and ignored for platforms that do not
support it, therefore safe to use.

DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC is used since presumably there is no sharing of
pages between multiple devices. IIRC there is a single page pool per Rx
queue/NAPI context.
