Larysa Zaremba 2a9e6ecf0e xdp: use modulo operation to calculate XDP frag tailroom 
[ Upstream commit 88b6b7f7b2 ]

The current formula for calculating XDP tailroom in mbuf packets works only
if each frag has its own page (if rxq->frag_size is PAGE_SIZE), this
defeats the purpose of the parameter overall and without any indication
leads to negative calculated tailroom on at least half of frags, if shared
pages are used.

There are not many drivers that set rxq->frag_size. Among them:
* i40e and enetc always split page uniformly between frags, use shared
  pages
* ice uses page_pool frags via libeth, those are power-of-2 and uniformly
  distributed across page
* idpf has variable frag_size with XDP on, so current API is not applicable
* mlx5, mtk and mvneta use PAGE_SIZE or 0 as frag_size for page_pool

As for AF_XDP ZC, only ice, i40e and idpf declare frag_size for it. Modulo
operation yields good results for aligned chunks, they are all power-of-2,
between 2K and PAGE_SIZE. Formula without modulo fails when chunk_size is
2K. Buffers in unaligned mode are not distributed uniformly, so modulo
operation would not work.

To accommodate unaligned buffers, we could define frag_size as
data + tailroom, and hence do not subtract offset when calculating
tailroom, but this would necessitate more changes in the drivers.

Define rxq->frag_size as an even portion of a page that fully belongs to a
single frag. When calculating tailroom, locate the data start within such
portion by performing a modulo operation on page offset.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
