New allocator type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL for page_pool usage. The registered allocator page_pool pointer is not available directly from xdp_rxq_info, but it could be (if needed). For now, the driver should keep separate track of the page_pool pointer, which it should use for RX-ring page allocation. As suggested by Saeed, to maintain a symmetric API it is the drivers responsibility to allocate/create and free/destroy the page_pool. Thus, after the driver have called xdp_rxq_info_unreg(), it is drivers responsibility to free the page_pool, but with a RCU free call. This is done easily via the page_pool helper page_pool_destroy() (which avoids touching any driver code during the RCU callback, which could happen after the driver have been unloaded). V8: address issues found by kbuild test robot - Address sparse should be static warnings - Allow xdp.o to be compiled without page_pool.o V9: Remove inline from .c file, compiler knows best Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
