It seems most of callers don't expect NULL returning for skb_frag_page(),
and this patch only changes a few relevant callers to handle the NULL case.

It may make more sense to add a new helper to do the above checking, and
add a warning in skb_frag_page() to catch any missing NULL checking for
skb_frag_page() caller, something like below?

 static inline struct page *skb_frag_page(const skb_frag_t *frag)
 {
-       return frag->bv_page;
+       struct page *page = frag->bv_page;
+
+       BUG_ON(page_is_page_pool_iov(page));
+
+       return page;
+}
+
+static inline struct page *skb_frag_readable_page(const skb_frag_t *frag)
+{
+       struct page *page = frag->bv_page;
+
+       if (!page_is_page_pool_iov(page))
+               return page;
+
+       return NULL;
 }
