Commit 773225388dae15e72790 added code to nicvf_alloc_page() that inadvertently
disables receive buffer page recycling for the non-XDP case by always NULL'ng
the page pointer.

This patch corrects two if-conditionals to allow for the recycling of non-XDP
mode pages by only setting the page pointer to NULL when the page is not ready
for recycling.

You need to add a "fixes" line like this:

Fixes: 773225388dae ("net: thunderx: Optimize page recycling for XDP")

And in-general reference a commit in the same way in the description.

Sorry, for some reason I thought the 'Fixes' line was optional.

Thank you for setting me straight. Should I repost the patchset?
