In [1] & [2], there are usecases for veth and virtio_net to use frag support in page pool to reduce memory usage, and it may request different frag size depending on the head/tail room space for xdp_frame/shinfo and mtu/packet size. When the requested frag size is large enough that a single page can not be split into more than one frag, using frag support only have performance penalty because of the extra frag count handling for frag support. So this patchset provides a way for user to fail back to non frag page when a page is not able to hold two frags. And PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG can be removed now, the extra benefit is that driver does not need to handle the case for arch with PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT when using page_pool_alloc_frag() API. 1. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/d3ae6bd3537fbce379382ac6a42f67e22f27ece2.1683896626.git.lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxx/ 2. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20230526054621.18371-3-liangchen.linux@xxxxxxxxx/ V2: Add patch to remove PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG flags and mention virtio_net usecase in the cover letter.
