Currently, __xdp_return() takes pointer to the virtual memory to free
a buffer. Apart from that this sometimes provokes redundant
data <--> page conversions, taking data pointer effectively prevents
lots of XDP code to support non-page-backed buffers, as there's no
mapping for the non-host memory (data is always NULL).
Just convert it to always take netmem reference. For
xdp_return_{buff,frame*}(), this chops off one page_address() per each
frag and adds one virt_to_netmem() (same as virt_to_page()) per header
buffer. For __xdp_return() itself, it removes one virt_to_page() for
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL and another one for MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0, adding
one page_address() for [not really common nowadays]
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED, but the main effect is that the abovementioned
functions won't die or memleak anymore if the frame has non-host memory
attached and will correctly free those.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
