But if the skb fragment pages are\noriginating from a page_pool, calling put_page on them will trigger a\npage_pool leak which will eventually result in a crash.\n\nThis leak can be easily observed when using CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and doing\nipsec + gre (non offloaded) forwarding:\n\n BUG: Bad page state in process ksoftirqd/16 pfn:1451b6\n page:00000000de2b8d32 refcount:0 mapcount:0
