Is the concern still that folks may be able to hook proprietary stuff into this like you mentioned before[1]?
That is on concern. The other is that people will do stupid stuff even in tree if you give them enough rope, and they should not have that rope when the only sensible options are page/folio based kernel memory (incuding large/huge folios) and dmabuf.
cp net/core/page_pool.c net/core/dmabuf_pool.c
and then modify it such that the net stack maintains 2 page_pools? There are a lot of cons to that:
No. Just have branches for page based vs dmabuf in a few places.
