I think the comment here is wrong and might confuse people.
The page ref cnt is 1, which means the packet was *processed* and netstack is
done with it, hence you can re-use it.
If it's !=1 then you correctly unmap the buffer and decrease the ref cnt, so it
will eventually be freed and not returned to the pool, right?
