Re: [PATCH net-next 1/2] page_pool: unify frag page and non-frag page handling

Hi Yunsheng

Apologies for not replying to the RFC,  I was pretty busy with internal
stuff

What happens here is clear.  But why do we need this?  Do you have a
specific use case in mind where a driver will call
page_pool_dev_alloc_pages() and the PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG will be set?
If that's the case isn't it a better idea to unify the functions entirely?

Thanks
