> Yes, I am shrinking the headroom. At this point, the headroom's content isn't relevant anymore (this path is executed when transmitting the frame after TX or REDIRECT). What is important is the data's alignment, and it is dictated by the headroom's (fd's offset) size.

So would it be possible to do a memmove within the existing buffer under
some circumstances and then have this current logic as a worst case
scenario? Majority of XDP progs won't consume all of the XDP headroom so I
think it's something worth pursuing.

Please also tell us the performance impact of that workaround. Grabbing
new page followed by memcpy is expensive.
