+API interface
+=============
+As the design and implementation of page_frag API implies, the allocation side
+does not allow concurrent calling. Instead it is assumed that the caller must
+ensure there is not concurrent alloc calling to the same page_frag_cache
+instance by using its own lock or rely on some lockless guarantee like NAPI
+softirq.
+
+Depending on different aligning requirement, the page_frag API caller may call
+page_frag_alloc*_align*() to ensure the returned virtual address or offset of
+the page is aligned according to the 'align/alignment' parameter. Note the size
+of the allocated fragment is not aligned, the caller needs to provide an aligned
+fragsz if there is an alignment requirement for the size of the fragment.
+
+Depending on different use cases, callers expecting to deal with va, page or
+both va and page for them may call page_frag_alloc, page_frag_refill, or
+page_frag_alloc_refill API accordingly.
+
+There is also a use case that needs minimum memory in order for forward progress,
+but more performant if more memory is available. Using page_frag_alloc_prepare()
+and page_frag_alloc_commit() related API, the caller requests the minimum memory
+it needs and the prepare API will return the maximum size of the fragment
+returned. The caller needs to either call the commit API to report how much
+memory it actually uses, or not do so if deciding to not use any memory.
