Since we have pool->p.napi (Jakub) and pool->cpuid (Lorenzo) to check whether it's safe to use direct recycling, we can use both globally for each page instead of relying solely on @allow_direct argument. Let's assume that @allow_direct means "I'm sure it's local, don't waste time rechecking this" and when it's false, try the mentioned params to still recycle the page directly. If neither is true, we'll lose some CPU cycles, but then it surely won't be hotpath. On the other hand, paths where it's possible to use direct cache, but not possible to safely set @allow_direct, will benefit from this move. The whole propagation of @napi_safe through a dozen of skb freeing functions can now go away, which saves us some stack space.

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 reStructuredText 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.
