Not sure I am buying that reasoning. It assumes the padding + packet_data
and we use skb_reserve() to tell the skb about the padding.

__build_skb_around() subtracts sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) from size
that we are providing, so now we are with padding + packet_data.
Then it is used to calculate the skb->end.

Back to i40e_build_skb(), we use the skb_reserve() to advance the
skb->data and skb->tail so that they point to packet_data. Finally
__skb_put() will move the skb->tail to the end of packet_data.

Wouldn't your approach disallow having the headroom at all in the linear
part of skb?

IMHO skb->end is correct. For skb->truesize I would assume that the
headroom should also be taken into account for tracking how many bytes a
particular skb consumes, no?

This will actually break the page flipping scheme. We need a separate
variable for that and use the old truesize to bump the page_offset.
