[PATCH net-next v3 12/18] xdp: add generic xdp_build_skb_from_buff()
Posted by Alexander Lobakin 3 weeks, 4 days ago
The code which builds an skb from an &xdp_buff keeps multiplying itself
around the drivers with almost no changes. Let's try to stop that by
adding a generic function.
There's __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() already, so just convert it to take
&xdp_buff instead, while making the original one a wrapper. The original
one always took an already allocated skb, allow both variants here -- if
no skb passed, which is expected when calling from a driver, pick one via
napi_build_skb().

This does not seem to be what the patch actually does? :)

Good catch. Initially, I wanted the common function to take &xdp_buff,
so that frame -> skb conversion would convert frame to a buff and then
call it.
But there were some functional differences and also +56 bytes on the
stack, so I ended up just introducing a standalone function w/o changing
any existing ones.
