True, it is another "bug"/unexpected-behavior that SKB gets reallocated
to be 128KiB. We should likely solve this in another patch.

Agree, that the warn condition should be changed, even removed.
It is interesting that this warn caught this unexpected-behavior of
expanding to 128KiB.

True, and the way I read the tun_build_skb() code, via 
skb_page_frag_refill(),
it can produce an SKB with data size (buflen) upto order-3 = 32KiB 
(SKB_FRAG_PAGE_ORDER).

Thus, the existing check in tun_can_build_skb() for PAGE_SIZE can/should 
be relaxed?
(Please correct me as I don't fully understand tun_get_user() code)

I agree, this is why I reacted, as this version of the patch could
potentially cause issues and packet drops.

Yes, we can completely remove this check.  The original intend was to
catch cases where XDP drivers have not been updated to use xdp.frame_sz,
but that is not longer a concern (since xdp_init_buff).

It was added (by me) in commit:
  - c8741e2bfe87 ("xdp: Allow bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() to grow packet size")
    - v5.8-rc1
  - as part of merge 5cc5924d8315

I'm sure it is safe to remove since commit:
  - 43b5169d8355 ("net, xdp: Introduce xdp_init_buff utility routine")
    - v5.12-rc1

where we introduced xdp_init_buff() helper, which all XDP driver use today.
Question is what "Fixes:" tag should the patch have?

To Andrew, will you
  (1) send a new patch that removes this check instead?
  (2) have cycles to investigate why the unexpected-behavior of
expanding to 128KiB happens?
