Currently mlx5e releases pages directly to the page_pool for XDP_TX and
does page fragment counting for XDP_REDIRECT. RX pages from the
page_pool are leaking on XDP_REDIRECT because the xdp core will release
only one fragment out of MLX5E_PAGECNT_BIAS_MAX and subsequently the page
is marked as "skip release" which avoids the driver release.
A fix would be to take an extra fragment for XDP_REDIRECT and not set the
"skip release" bit so that the release on the driver side can handle the
remaining bias fragments. But this would be a shortsighted solution.
Instead, this patch converges the two XDP paths (XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT) to
always do fragment tracking. The "skip release" bit is no longer
necessary for XDP.

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.
