In the case of the VF driver it is supposed to provide a context descriptor that allows us to provide information about the header offsets inside of the frame. However in the case of XDP we don't really have any of that information since the data is minimally processed. As a result we were seeing malicious driver detection (MDD) events being triggered when the PF had that functionality enabled. To address this I have added a bit of new code that will "prime" the XDP ring by providing one context descriptor that assumes the minimal setup of an Ethernet frame which is an L2 header length of 14. With just that we can provide enough information to make the hardware happy so that we don't trigger MDD events.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
