ixgbe: don't reserve excessive XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM on XSK Rx to skb
[ Upstream commit 8f405221a73a53234486c185d8ef647377a53cc6 ]
{__,}napi_alloc_skb() allocates and reserves additional NET_SKB_PAD
+ NET_IP_ALIGN for any skb.
OTOH, ixgbe_construct_skb_zc() currently allocates and reserves
additional `xdp->data - xdp->data_hard_start`, which is
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM for XSK frames.
There's no need for that at all as the frame is post-XDP and will
go only to the networking stack core.
Pass the size of the actual data only to __napi_alloc_skb() and
don't reserve anything. This will give enough headroom for stack
processing.
