Unreferencing a page_pool fragment with recycle=false decrements the non-pp backing refcount instead of pp_ref_count, underflowing the page refcount when the fragment was owned via page_pool (as on mlx4's RX error path). Having both skb_page_unref() and __skb_frag_unref(frag, recycle) made it easy for callers to pass hardcoded recycle=false on SKB-owned fragments. Replace skb_page_unref() and __skb_frag_unref() with skb_netmem_unref(netmem, recycle), which dispatches to napi_pp_put_page() when recycle is true and put_netmem() otherwise: - Use skb_frag_unref(skb, ...) on SKB-owned fragments in mlx4, sky2, tls_strp, and skb_shift() so unrefs always match skb->pp_recycle. - Use put_netmem() directly in tls_device's destroy_record(), which releases raw non-pp page references outside an SKB.
