Currently, touching <net/page_pool/types.h> triggers a rebuild of more than half of the kernel. That's because it's included in <linux/skbuff.h>. And each new include to page_pool/types.h adds more [useless] data for the toolchain to process per each source file from that pile. In commit6a5bcd84e8("page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB recycling"), Matteo included it to be able to call a couple of functions defined there. Then, in commit57f05bc2ab("page_pool: keep pp info as long as page pool owns the page") one of the calls was removed, so only one was left. It's the call to page_pool_return_skb_page() in napi_frag_unref(). The function is external and doesn't have any dependencies. Having very niche page_pool_types.h included only for that looks like an overkill. As %PP_SIGNATURE is not local to page_pool.c (was only in the early submissions), nothing holds this function there. Teleport page_pool_return_skb_page() to skbuff.c, just next to the main consumer, skb_pp_recycle(), and rename it to napi_pp_put_page(), as it doesn't work with skbs at all and the former name tells nothing. The #if guards here are only to not compile and have it in the vmlinux when not needed -- both call sites are already guarded. Now, touching page_pool_types.h only triggers rebuilding of the drivers using it and a couple of core networking files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
