Commit642e450b6b("xsk: Do not discard packet when NETDEV_TX_BUSY") addressed the problem that packets were discarded from the Tx AF_XDP ring, when the driver returned NETDEV_TX_BUSY. Part of the fix was bumping the skbuff reference count, so that the buffer would not be freed by dev_direct_xmit(). A reference count larger than one means that the skbuff is "shared", which is not the case. If the "shared" skbuff is sent to the generic XDP receive path, netif_receive_generic_xdp(), and pskb_expand_head() is entered the BUG_ON(skb_shared(skb)) will trigger. This patch adds a variant to dev_direct_xmit(), __dev_direct_xmit(), where a user can select the skbuff free policy. This allows AF_XDP to avoid bumping the reference count, but still keep the NETDEV_TX_BUSY behavior.

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.
