Some users like io_uring can do page pinning more efficiently, so we want a way to delegate referencing to other subsystems. For that add a new flag called SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS. When set, skb doesn't hold page references and upper layers are responsivle to managing page lifetime. It's allowed to convert skbs from managed to normal by calling skb_zcopy_downgrade_managed(). The function will take all needed page references and clear the flag. It's needed, for instance, to avoid mixing managed modes.

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.
