It seems odd that mlx5 is adding its own page cache on top of page pool,
is it about support both "struct sk_buff" and "struct xdp_buff" for the
same queue?

Or we could change mlx5e_rx_cache_get() to check for "page->pp_frag_count
== 1" too, and adjust mlx5e_page_release() accordingly?

You are right, hns3 doesn't have XDP support yet.
