#define SOFTIRQ_BITS		8
#define SOFTIRQ_MASK		(__IRQ_MASK(SOFTIRQ_BITS) << SOFTIRQ_SHIFT)
# define softirq_count()	(preempt_count() & SOFTIRQ_MASK)
#define in_softirq()		(softirq_count())

I don't know what else to add beyond that and the earlier explanation.

AFAIK pages as allocated by page pool do not benefit from the usual
KASAN / KMSAN checkers, so if we were to double-recycle a page once
a day because of a netcons race - it's going to be a month long debug
for those of us using Linux in production.
