When performing IPv6 forwarding, there is an expectation that SKBs
will have some headroom. When forwarding a packet from the aquantia
driver, this does not always happen, triggering a kernel warning.
aq_ring.c has this code (edited slightly for brevity):
if (buff->is_eop && buff->len <= AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX - AQ_SKB_ALIGN) {
skb = build_skb(aq_buf_vaddr(&buff->rxdata), AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX);
} else {
skb = napi_alloc_skb(napi, AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE);
There is a significant difference between the SKB produced by these
2 code paths. When napi_alloc_skb creates an SKB, there is a certain
amount of headroom reserved. However, this is not done in the
build_skb codepath.
As the hardware buffer that build_skb is built around does not
handle the presence of the SKB header, this code path is being
removed and the napi_alloc_skb path will always be used. This code
path does have to copy the packet header into the SKB, but it adds
the packet data as a frag.
