RX page cache stores dma_info structs, that consist of a pointer to struct page and a DMA address. In fact, the DMA address is extracted from struct page using page_pool_get_dma_addr when a page is pushed to the cache. By moving this call to the point when a page is popped from the cache, we can avoid storing the DMA address in the cache, effectively reducing its size by two times without losing any functionality.

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.
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.
