When performing IPv6 forwarding, there is an expectation that SKBs
will have some headroom. When forwarding a packet from the aquantia
driver, this does not always happen, triggering a kernel warning.
aq_ring.c has this code (edited slightly for brevity):
if (buff->is_eop && buff->len <= AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX - AQ_SKB_ALIGN) {
skb = build_skb(aq_buf_vaddr(&buff->rxdata), AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX);
} else {
skb = napi_alloc_skb(napi, AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE);
There is a significant difference between the SKB produced by these
2 code paths. When napi_alloc_skb creates an SKB, there is a certain
amount of headroom reserved. However, this is not done in the
build_skb codepath.
As the hardware buffer that build_skb is built around does not
handle the presence of the SKB header, this code path is being
removed and the napi_alloc_skb path will always be used. This code
path does have to copy the packet header into the SKB, but it adds
the packet data as a frag.

I don't know about benefits/feasibility, but I did wonder if (in the event that
the "fast path" is possible), the dma_mapping could use an offset? The page
would include the skb header but the dma mapping would not. If that was done
though, only 1 RX frame would fit into the page (at least on my system, where
the RX frame seems to be 2k and the page is 4k). Also, there's a possibility to
set the "order" variable, so that multiple pages are created at once and I'm
not sure if this would work in that case.

Oh yeah. That's not as bad as I had thought then :)
I wonder though... if the "fast path" is possible, could the whole packet
(including header) be added as a frag, avoiding the header copy? Or is that not
how SKBs work?
