When native XDP redirect into a veth device, the frame arrives in the
xdp_frame structure. It is then processed in veth_xdp_rcv_one(),
which can run a new XDP bpf_prog on the packet. Doing so requires
converting xdp_frame to xdp_buff, but the tricky part is that
xdp_frame memory area is located in the top (data_hard_start) memory
area that xdp_buff will point into.
The current code tried to protect the xdp_frame area, by assigning
xdp_buff.data_hard_start past this memory. This results in 32 bytes
less headroom to expand into via BPF-helper bpf_xdp_adjust_head().
This protect step is actually not needed, because BPF-helper
bpf_xdp_adjust_head() already reserve this area, and don't allow
BPF-prog to expand into it. Thus, it is safe to point data_hard_start
directly at xdp_frame memory area.

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.
