Enforce that all fragments in a nonlinear skb come from compatible
memory providers (and for devmem, the exact same binding).

Patch 1 fixes skb->unreadable propagation in skb_split() and skb_shift().
Patch 2 stores mp_priv directly inside struct net_iov.
Patch 3 adds skb_has_net_iovs(), skb_mem_provider_compat(), and
skb_frags_can_coalesce().
Patch 4 enforces provider/binding compatibility across TX, TCP, GRO,
IP defrag, skb_shift(), and skb_try_coalesce().

v1 -> v2:
- Generalize the check across TX, TCP collapse, GRO, IP defrag,
  skb_shift(), and skb_try_coalesce() by storing mp_priv directly in
  struct net_iov and introducing skb_frags_can_coalesce().
- Fix skb->unreadable propagation in skb_split() and skb_shift().
- Add KUnit coverage for cross-provider and cross-binding rejection.
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20261008034027.1403188-1-almasrymina@google.com/ (local)


Mina Almasry (4):
  net: fix skb->unreadable propagation in skb_split() and skb_shift()
  netmem: store memory provider private pointer directly in struct
    net_iov
  net: add skb_frags_can_coalesce() helper
  net: prevent mixing frags from different memory providers or bindings
