Hmm, is this correct?

As you write "xdp_data_hard_end" is calculated as an offset from
xdp->data_hard_start pointer based on the frame_sz.  Will your
xdp->data_hard_start + frame_sz point to packet end?

#define xdp_data_hard_end(xdp)                          \
        ((xdp)->data_hard_start + (xdp)->frame_sz -     \
         SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)))

Note the macro reserves the last 320 bytes (for skb_shared_info), but
for AF_XDP zero-copy mode, it will never create an SKB that use this
area.   Thus, in principle we can allow XDP-progs to extend/grow tail
into this area, but I don't think there is any use-case for this, as
it's much easier to access packet-data in userspace application.
(Thus, it might not be worth the complexity to give AF_XDP
bpf_xdp_adjust_tail access to this area, by e.g. "lying" via adding 320
bytes to frame_sz).
