Hi Jason,

Since we use EWMA to estimate the size of rx buffer. When rx buffer
size is underestimated, it's usual to have a packet with more than one
buffers. Consider this is not a bug, remove the warning and correct

Could you also remove the bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_buffer(), which got added
just for this?

Thanks.
