thunderx: eliminate extra calls to put_page() for pages held for recycling
[ Upstream commit cd35ef91490ad8049dd180bb060aff7ee192eda9 ] For the non-XDP case, commit 77322538 ("net: thunderx: Optimize page recycling for XDP") added code to nicvf_free_rbdr() that, when releasing the additional receive buffer page reference held for recycling, repeatedly calls put_page() until the page's _refcount goes to zero. Which results in the page being freed. This is not okay if the page's _refcount was greater than 1 (in the non-XDP case), because nicvf_free_rbdr() should not be subtracting more than what nicvf_alloc_page() had previously added to the page's _refcount, which was only 1 (in the non-XDP case). This can arise if a received packet is still being processed and the receive buffer (i.e., skb->head) has not yet been freed via skb_free_head() when nicvf_free_rbdr() is spinning through the aforementioned put_page() loop. If this should occur, when the received packet finishes processing and skb_free_head() is called, various problems can ensue. Exactly what, depends on whether the page has already been reallocated or not, anything from "BUG: Bad page state ... ", to "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference ..." or "Unable to handle kernel paging request...". So this patch changes nicvf_free_rbdr() to only call put_page() once for pages held for recycling (in the non-XDP case).
