We both rely on both skb->pp_recycle and page->pp_magic to decide
the page is really from page pool. So there was a few corner case
problem when we are sharing a page for different skb in the driver
level or calling skb_clone() or skb_try_coalesce().
see:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/2cc3aeb5ecccec0d266813172fcd82b4b5fa5803

As the 'struct xdp_frame' also use 'struct skb_shared_info' which is
sharable, see xdp_get_shared_info_from_frame().

For now xdpf_clone() does not seems to handling frag page yet,
so it should be fine for now.

IMHO we should find a way to use per-page marker, instead of both
per-skb and per-page markers, in order to avoid the above problem
for xdp if xdp has a similar processing as skb, as suggested by Eric.
