Once the XDP frames have been successfully transmitted through the ndo_xdp_xmit() interface, it's the driver responsibility to free the frames so that the page_pool can recycle the pages and reuse them. However, this action is not implemented in the fec driver. This leads to a user-visible problem that the console will print the following warning log. [ 157.568851] page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown 1389 inflight 60 sec [ 217.983446] page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown 1389 inflight 120 sec [ 278.399006] page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown 1389 inflight 181 sec [ 338.812885] page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown 1389 inflight 241 sec [ 399.226946] page_pool_release_retry() stalled pool shutdown 1389 inflight 302 sec Therefore, to solve this issue, we free XDP frames via xdp_return_frame() while cleaning the tx BD ring.

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.
