This does look better.

In fact, we already have vq reset, we can load XDP based on vq reset.
In this way, we can run without xdp_linearize_page.

Yes, the follow-up patch has this optimization.

Yes, but now we don't seem to be very good to distinguish it. But I think
it doesn't matter. This logic is rare under actual situation.

Thanks.

The goal is to try our best not to drop packets, so I think it's
better to keep it.
