This patch shows how it is possible to have both the driver local page
cache, which uses elevated refcnt for "catching"/avoiding SKB
put_page. And at the same time, have pages getting returned to the
page_pool from ndp_xdp_xmit DMA completion.
Performance is surprisingly good. Tested DMA-TX completion on ixgbe,
that calls "xdp_return_frame", which call page_pool_put_page().
Stats show DMA-TX-completion runs on CPU#9 and mlx5 RX runs on CPU#5.
(Internally page_pool uses ptr_ring, which is what gives the good
cross CPU performance).
Show adapter(s) (ixgbe2 mlx5p2) statistics (ONLY that changed!)

Before this patch: single flow performance was 6Mpps, and if I started
two flows the collective performance drop to 4Mpps, because we hit the
page allocator lock (further negative scaling occurs).
V2: Adjustments requested by Tariq
- Changed page_pool_create return codes not return NULL, only
ERR_PTR, as this simplifies err handling in drivers.
- Save a branch in mlx5e_page_release
- Correct page_pool size calc for MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ

I am running perf tests with your series. I sense a drastic
degradation in regular TCP flows, I'm double checking the numbers now...
Well, there's a huge performance degradation indeed, whenever the
regular flows (non-XDP) use the new page pool. Cannot merge before
fixing this.
If I disable the local page-cache, numbers get as low as 100's of Mbps
in TCP stream tests.
It seems that the page-pool doesn't fit as a general fallback (when page
in local rx cache is busy), as the refcnt is elevated/changing:
