Subject: xdp and fragments with virtio

Hi Jason:

I am trying to test MTU changes to the BPF fib_lookup helper and seeing
something odd. Hoping you can help.

I have a VM with multiple virtio based NICs and tap backends. I install
the xdp program on eth1 and eth2 to do forwarding. In the host I send a
large packet to eth1:

$ ping -s 1500 9.9.9.9


The tap device in the host sees 2 packets:

$ sudo tcpdump -nv -i vm02-eth1
20:44:33.943160 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 58746, offset 0, flags [+],
proto ICMP (1), length 1500)
    10.100.1.254 > 9.9.9.9: ICMP echo request, id 17917, seq 1, length 1480
20:44:33.943172 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 58746, offset 1480, flags
[none], proto ICMP (1), length 48)
    10.100.1.254 > 9.9.9.9: ip-proto-1


In the VM, the XDP program only sees the first packet, not the fragment.
I added a printk to the program (see diff below):

$ cat trace_pipe
          <idle>-0     [003] ..s2   254.436467: 0: packet length 1514


Anything come to mind in the virtio xdp implementation that affects
fragment packets? I see this with both IPv4 and v6.

Thanks,
David
