mainlining shenanigans
34cc0b338a
Use hole in struct xdp_frame, when adding member frame_sz, which keeps same sizeof struct (32 bytes) Drivers ixgbe and sfc had bug cases where the necessary/expected tailroom was not reserved. This can lead to some hard to catch memory corruption issues. Having the drivers frame_sz this can be detected when packet length/end via xdp->data_end exceed the xdp_data_hard_end pointer, which accounts for the reserved the tailroom. When detecting this driver issue, simply fail the conversion with NULL, which results in feedback to driver (failing xdp_do_redirect()) causing driver to drop packet. Given the lack of consistent XDP stats, this can be hard to troubleshoot. And given this is a driver bug, we want to generate some more noise in form of a WARN stack dump (to ID the driver code that inlined convert_to_xdp_frame). Inlining the WARN macro is problematic, because it adds an asm instruction (on Intel CPUs ud2) what influence instruction cache prefetching. Thus, introduce xdp_warn and macro XDP_WARN, to avoid this and at the same time make identifying the function and line of this inlined function easier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
