But still missing if we need to clear the mb bit or not when we shrink down
to a single frag. I think its fine, but worth double checking. As an example
consider I shrink 2k from a 3k pkt with two frags, one full 2k and another
1k extra,

On the first run through,

 i = 1;
 offset = 2k

+	for (i = sinfo->nr_frags - 1; i >= 0 && offset > 0; i--) {
+		skb_frag_t *frag = &sinfo->frags[i];
+		int size = skb_frag_size(frag);
+		int shrink = min_t(int, offset, size);

shrink = 1k; // min_t(int, offset, size) -> size

+
+		len_free += shrink;
+		offset -= shrink;

offset = 1k

+		if (unlikely(size == shrink)) {
+			struct page *page = skb_frag_page(frag);
+
+			__xdp_return(page_address(page), &xdp->rxq->mem,
+				     false, NULL);
+			n_frags_free++;

Will free the frag

Then next run through

i = 0;
offset = 1k;

+		skb_frag_t *frag = &sinfo->frags[i];
+		int size = skb_frag_size(frag);
+		int shrink = min_t(int, offset, size);

shrink = 1k; // min_t(int, offset, size) -> offset

+
+		len_free += shrink;
+		offset -= shrink;

offset = 0k

+
+		if (unlikely(size == shrink)) { ...
+		} else {
+			skb_frag_size_set(frag, size - shrink);
+			break;
+		}

Then later there is the check 'if (unlikely(offset > 0) { ...}', but that
wont hit this case and we shrunk it back to a single frag. Did we want
to clear the mb in this case? I'm not seeing how it harms things to have
the mb bit set just trying to follow code here.

Would offset > 0 indicate we weren't able to shrink the xdp buff enough
for some reason. Need some coffee perhaps.

Thanks,
John
