Nope, see this:

        if (SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER &&
            !static_branch_unlikely(&net_high_order_alloc_disable_key)) {
                /* Avoid direct reclaim but allow kswapd to wake */
                pfrag->page = alloc_pages((gfp & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) |
                                          __GFP_COMP | __GFP_NOWARN |
                                          __GFP_NORETRY,
                                          SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER);
                if (likely(pfrag->page)) {
                        pfrag->size = PAGE_SIZE << SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER;
                        return true;
                }
        }

The comp page might be disabled due to the SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER and
net_high_order_alloc_disable_key.

Yes, we can optimize this on top.
