I'm not sure this is correct. We seem to hardcode headroom to
PRUETH_HEADROOM lower in this function. If XDP adds or removes
network headers and then returns XDP_PASS we'll look for the packet
at the wrong offset.


Yes that makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out. I think I have the right fix in mind. Will post it shortly as v2.

We just merged some XDP tests, could you try running
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/xdp.py ?
Some general instructions can be found here:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/nipa/wiki/Running-driver-tests

Not sure how stable the test is for all NICs but I think the
xdp.test_xdp_native_adjst_head_grow_data
test case will exercise what I'm suspecting will fail.

It took me some time to install all the dependencies and get this tool running with the fix I mentioned above [1]. But I am not sure the error logs I got [2] are the one which you were expecting or some stability issue with the test. Can you please take a look at it.

If the fix I attached here [1] makes sense, I will go ahead and post this as v2.

Thanks.
