[PATCH net-next 1/2] virtio-net: don't reserve space for vnet header for XDP

We tried to reserve space for vnet header before
xdp.data_hard_start. But this is useless since the packet could be
modified by XDP which may invalidate the information stored in the
header and there's no way for XDP to know the existence of the vnet
header currently.

So let's just not reserve space for vnet header in this case.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] virtio-net: fix the XDP truesize calculation for mergeable buffers

We should not exclude headroom and tailroom when XDP is set. So this
patch fixes this by initializing the truesize from PAGE_SIZE when XDP
is set.

Seems too aggressive, we do not use up the whole page for the size.

Is this really just on the XDP path? Looks like a confusing way to
detect that.

What do you mean? Doesn't XDP_PASS use the header in the buffer?
> So let's just not reserve space for vnet header in this case.
In any case, we can find out XDP does head adjustments
if we need to.

We don't, see 436c9453a1ac0 ("virtio-net: keep vnet header zeroed after
processing XDP")

If there's other place, it should be a bug.

But XDP program can modify the packets without adjusting headers.

IMHO above statements are wrong. XDP cannot access memory before
xdp.data_hard_start. Thus, it is safe to store a vnet headers before
xdp.data_hard_start. (The sfc driver also use this "before" area).
> there's no way for XDP to know the existence of the vnet header

It is true that XDP is unaware of this area, which is the way it
should be.  Currently the area will survive after calling BPF/XDP.
After your change it will be overwritten in xdp_frame cases.

> So let's just not reserve space for vnet header in this case.
I think this is a wrong approach!

We are working on supporting GRO multi-buffer for XDP.  The vnet header
contains GRO information (see pahole below sign). It is currently not
used in the XDP case, but we will be working towards using it.  There
are a lot of unanswered questions on how this will be implemented.
Thus, I cannot layout how we are going to leverage this info yet, but
your patch are killing this info, which IHMO is going in the wrong
direction.

The problem is if we place vnet header before data_hard_start, 
virtio-net will fail any header adjustment.

Or do you mean to copy vnet header before data_hard_start before 
processing XDP?

Another note is that since we need reserve room for skb_shared_info, GRO 
for XDP may probably lead more frag list.

Good to know that, but I think it can only work when the packet is not 
modified by XDP?

I can copy vnet header ahead of data_hard_start, does it work for you?
