[PATCH v4 net 01/11] xsk: tighten UMEM headroom validation to account for tailroom and min frame

From: Maciej Fijalkowski <maciej.fijalkowski@intel.com>
Date: 2026-03-26 11:49:34
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, xdp sockets (af_xdp) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Magnus Karlsson, Maciej Fijalkowski

The current headroom validation in xdp_umem_reg() could leave us with
insufficient space dedicated to even receive minimum-sized ethernet
frame. Furthermore if multi-buffer would come to play then
skb_shared_info stored at the end of XSK frame would be corrupted.

HW typically works with 128-aligned sizes so let us provide this value
as bare minimum.

Multi-buffer setting is known later in the configuration process so
besides accounting for 128 bytes, let us also take care of tailroom space
upfront.
