net/mlx5e: XDP, Exclude headroom and tailroom from memory calculations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the case of XDP Multi-Buffer with Striding RQ, an extra
page is allocated for the linear part of non-linear SKBs.

Including headroom and tailroom in the calculation may
result in an unnecessary increase in the amount of memory
allocated. This could be critical, particularly for large
MTUs (e.g. 7975B) and large RQ sizes (e.g. 8192).

In this case, the requested page pool size is 64K, but
32K would be sufficient. This causes a failure due to
exceeding the page pool size limit of 32K.

Exclude headroom and tailroom from SKB size calculations
to reduce page pool size.
