[PATCH net-next 1/2] page_pool: check for PP direct cache locality later

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Fri Mar 29 2024 - 12:56:36 EST


Since we have pool->p.napi (Jakub) and pool->cpuid (Lorenzo) to check
whether it's safe to use direct recycling, we can use both globally for
each page instead of relying solely on @allow_direct argument.
Let's assume that @allow_direct means "I'm sure it's local, don't waste
time rechecking this" and when it's false, try the mentioned params to
still recycle the page directly. If neither is true, we'll lose some
CPU cycles, but then it surely won't be hotpath. On the other hand,
paths where it's possible to use direct cache, but not possible to
safely set @allow_direct, will benefit from this move.
The whole propagation of @napi_safe through a dozen of skb freeing
functions can now go away, which saves us some stack space.
