I will add this to the patch description.

Thanks, I will do this when adding more flags in future patches.

You mean the "else" part of the code below? It's for a compound page from
napi_alloc_frag(), not from the pool. If any error happens, we save it
locally for re-use.

drop:
if (from_pool) {
page_pool_recycle_direct(rxq->page_pool,
virt_to_head_page(buf_va));
} else {
WARN_ON_ONCE(rxq->xdp_save_va);
/* Save for reuse */
rxq->xdp_save_va = buf_va;
}
