If I followed correctly your example, we will have sinfo->nr_frags = 1 at the
end of the processing (since the first fragment has 2k size), right?
If so mb bit must be set to 1. Am I missing something?
Re-looking at the code I guess we should clear mb bit using sinfo->nr_frags
instead:

	if (!sinfo->nr_frags)
		xdp_buff_clear_mb(xdp);

Agree?
