> veth_xdp_xmit() queues XDP_TX frames on the peer's ring if the peer has
> NAPI. A peer with GRO enabled and no XDP program also has NAPI.
> 
> veth_xdp_flush() then schedules the peer's NAPI, but only if the peer's
> xdp_prog is set, so for such a peer the frames are never processed.
> Nothing else schedules that NAPI by default.
> 
> Once the ring is full, every XDP_TX frame is dropped, and so are the
> skbs that veth_xmit() queues on the same ring.
> 
> Commit 0e672f306a28 ("veth: check for NAPI instead of xdp_prog before
> xmit of XDP frame") changed the check in veth_xdp_xmit() but not the one
> in veth_xdp_flush(). Make veth_xdp_flush() check the napi pointer
> instead of xdp_prog, as veth_xdp_xmit() does.
