I can't wrap my head around this series, hope you can tell me where I'm
going wrong. AFAICT enetc splits the page into two halves for small MTU.
So we have
| 2k | 2k |
----------------------------- -----------------------------
| hroom | data | troom/shinfo | hroom | data | troom/shinfo |
----------------------------- -----------------------------
If we attach the second chunk as frag well have:
offset = 2k + hroom
size = data.len
But we use
truesize / frag_size = 2k
so
tailroom = rxq->frag_size - skb_frag_size(frag) - skb_frag_off(frag);
tailroom = 2k - data.len - 2k
tailroom = -data.len
WARN(tailroom < 0) -> yes
The frag_size thing is unusable for any driver that doesn't hand out
full pages to frags?
