Re: [PATCH net-next v4 2/4] page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB recycling

Since we added an extra argument on __skb_frag_unref() to handle
recycling, update the current users of the function with that.

This part could be done with a preliminary patch, only adding this
extra boolean, this would keep the 'complex' patch smaller.

Sure

Why IS_BUILTIN() ? 

No reason, we'll replace it with an ifdef

PAGE_POOL is either y or n

IS_ENABLED() would look better, since we use IS_BUILTIN() for the cases where a module might be used.

Or simply #ifdef CONFIG_PAGE_POOL

This probably should be attempted only in the (skb->head_frag) case ?

I think the extra check makes sense.

Also this patch misses pskb_expand_head()

I am not sure I am following. Misses what? pskb_expand_head() will either
call skb_release_data() or skb_free_head(), which would either recycle or
unmap the buffer for us (depending on the page refcnt)
