Implement the XDP_DROP and XDP_PASS actions. Avoid draining and reconfiguring the buffer pool at each XDP setup/teardown by increasing the frame headroom and reserving XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM bytes from the start. Since we always reserve an entire page per buffer, this change only impacts Jumbo frame scenarios where the maximum linear frame size is reduced by 256 bytes. Multi buffer Scatter/Gather frames are now used instead in these scenarios. Allow XDP programs to access the entire buffer. The data in the received frame's headroom can be overwritten by the XDP program. Extract the relevant fields from the headroom while they are still available, before running the XDP program. Since the headroom might be resized before the frame is passed up to the stack, remove the check for a fixed headroom value when building an skb. Allow the meta data to be updated and pass the information up the stack. Scatter/Gather frames are dropped when XDP is enabled.

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.
