equivalently:
if (vi->big_packets && !vi->mergeable_rx_bufs)
give_pages(rq, buf);
else
virtnet_put_page(rq, virt_to_head_page(buf), false);
and then it matches the check we have like in 10 places in
this file.
maybe it's time for a helper that does vi->big_packets &&
!vi->mergeable_rx_bufs?
maybe virtnet_no_page_pool()?

hmm no this is wrong i think:
struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf *hdr = buf + header_offset;
int off = buf - page_address(page);
you should sync from hdr not from buf.
besides did not receive_small already sync?
we do not need two syncs.

ok so we have recycling.
I *think* that since below you set PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP, then page_pool does
not sync_for_device on recycle;
so CPU can write into packet data (e.g. XDP_PASS) and leave dirty cachelines.
After reuse, on non-coherent DMA that can corrupt later packets unless you add
PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV (with max_len/offset) or do an explicit
dma_sync_for_device before requeue.
See Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst
I agree it's annoying since maybe we did not touch it at all.
