Up to now several high speed NICs have custom mechanisms of recycling the allocated memory they use for their payloads. Our page_pool API already has recycling capabilities that are always used when we are running in 'XDP mode'. So let's tweak the API and the kernel network stack slightly and allow the recycling to happen even during the standard operation. The API doesn't take into account 'split page' policies used by those drivers currently, but can be extended once we have users for that. The idea is to be able to intercept the packet on skb_release_data(). If it's a buffer coming from our page_pool API recycle it back to the pool for further usage or just release the packet entirely. To achieve that we introduce a bit in struct sk_buff (pp_recycle:1) and a field in struct page (page->pp) to store the page_pool pointer. Storing the information in page->pp allows us to recycle both SKBs and their fragments. We could have skipped the skb bit entirely, since identical information can bederived from struct page. However, in an effort to affect the free path as less as possible, reading a single bit in the skb which is already in cache, is better that trying to derive identical information for the page stored data. The driver or page_pool has to take care of the sync operations on it's own during the buffer recycling since the buffer is, after opting-in to the recycling, never unmapped. Since the gain on the drivers depends on the architecture, we are not enabling recycling by default if the page_pool API is used on a driver. In order to enable recycling the driver must call skb_mark_for_recycle() to store the information we need for recycling in page->pp and enabling the recycling bit, or page_pool_store_mem_info() for a fragment.
