xdp.data_hard_start is mapped to the first
address of xdp_frame, but the pointer hard_start
is the offset(sizeof(struct xdp_frame)) of xdp_frame,
it should use head instead of hard_start to
set xdp.data_hard_start. Otherwise, if BPF program
calls helper_function such as bpf_xdp_adjust_head, it
will be confused for xdp_frame_end.

I have noticed this[1] and have a patch in my current patchset for
fixing this.  IMHO is is not so important fix right now, as the effect
is that you currently only lose 32 bytes of headroom.

You are right, the subtraction is not necessary here.
Thank you for working on this.
