Yeah, basically what we want is to check if the mac_header offset is
larger than the headroom. So the check could just be:
skb->mac_header < XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM
however, it may be better to use the helper? Since that makes sure we
keep hitting the DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE inside the helper... So:
skb_mac_header(skb) - skb->head < XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM
or, equivalently:
skb_headroom(skb) - skb_mac_offset(skb) < XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM
I think the first one is probably more readable, since skb_mac_offset()
is negative here, so the calculation looks off...
