Ah ok so at least xdp_output will work with all bytes. But this is
getting close to having access into the frags so I think doing
the last bit shouldn't be too hard?

This block reads odd to be because it requires looping over the frags
multiple times? Why not something like this,

  if (off < base_len) {
   src_buff = xdp->data + off
   copy_len = min...
   memcpy(dst_buff, src_buff, copy_len)
   off += copylen
   len -= copylen
   dst_buff += copylen;
  }

  for (i = 0; i , nr_frags; i++) {
     frag = ...
     ...
     if frag_off < fraglen
        ...
        memcpy()
        update(off, len, dst_buff)
  }


Maybe use a helper to set off,len and dst_buff if worried about the
duplication. Seems cleaner than walking through 0..n-1 frags for
each copy.
