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

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



For XDP yes, we do:

static unsigned int get_mergeable_buf_len(struct receive_queue *rq,
                       struct ewma_pkt_len *avg_pkt_len,
                       unsigned int room)
{
     const size_t hdr_len = sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf);
     unsigned int len;

     if (room)
         return PAGE_SIZE - room;

...

Thanks
Hmm. But that's only for new buffers. Buffers that were outstanding
before xdp was attached don't use the whole page, do they?


They don't and in either case, we've encoded truesize in the ctx. Any issue you saw?






Also, with TCP smallqueues blocking the queue like that might be a problem.
Could you try and check performance impact of this?


I'm not sure I get you, TCP small queue is more about TX I guess. And since we've invalidated the vnet header, the performance of XDP_PASS won't be good.


I looked at what other drivers do and I see they tend to copy the skb
in XDP_PASS case. ATM we don't normally - but should we?


My understanding is XDP runs before skb, so I don't get here. Or maybe you can point me the driver you mentioned here? I've checked i40e and mlx5e, both of them build skb after XDP.

Thanks
