Now that direct recycling is performed basing on pool->cpuid when set, memory leaks are possible: 1. A pool is destroyed. 2. Alloc cache is emptied (it's done only once). 3. pool->cpuid is still set. 4. napi_pp_put_page() does direct recycling basing on pool->cpuid. 5. Now alloc cache is not empty, but it won't ever be freed. In order to avoid that, rewrite pool->cpuid to -1 when unlinking NAPI to make sure no direct recycling will be possible after emptying the cache. This involves a bit of overhead as pool->cpuid now must be accessed via READ_ONCE() to avoid partial reads. Rename page_pool_unlink_napi() -> page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() to reflect what it actually does and unexport it.

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.
