I looked at some of these macros and am wondering why SKB_TRUESIZE()
uses SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct sk_buff)). Because I don't understand
how the memcaches that allocate sk_buff are aligned or somehow always
return SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct sk_buff)) sized objects -- a simple
BUG_ON(ksize(skb) != SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct sk_buff))) triggers.

Alas, doing something like:

--- a/include/linux/skbuff.h
+++ b/include/linux/skbuff.h
@@ -235,7 +235,7 @@

/* return minimum truesize of one skb containing X bytes of data */
#define SKB_TRUESIZE(X) ((X) + \
- SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct sk_buff)) + \
+ sizeof(struct sk_buff) + \
SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)))

does not fix the problem.

Still trying to debug, because I don't want this to block the SLUB
enablement of KFENCE, even if it turns out it's not KFENCE. :-/
