__xdp_build_skb_from_frame() state(d): /* Until page_pool get SKB return path, release DMA here */ Page Pool got skb pages recycling in April 2021, but missed this function. xdp_release_frame() is relevant only for Page Pool backed frames and it detaches the page from the corresponding page_pool in order to make it freeable via page_frag_free(). It can instead just mark the output skb as eligible for recycling if the frame is backed by a pp. No change for other memory model types (the same condition check as before). cpumap redirect and veth on Page Pool drivers now become zero-alloc (or almost).
