Amery Hung 4dce1a0d7c bpf: Support pulling non-linear xdp data
Add kfunc, bpf_xdp_pull_data(), to support pulling data from xdp
fragments. Similar to bpf_skb_pull_data(), bpf_xdp_pull_data() makes
the first len bytes of data directly readable and writable in bpf
programs. If the "len" argument is larger than the linear data size,
data in fragments will be copied to the linear data area when there
is enough room. Specifically, the kfunc will try to use the tailroom
first. When the tailroom is not enough, metadata and data will be
shifted down to make room for pulling data.

A use case of the kfunc is to decapsulate headers residing in xdp
fragments. It is possible for a NIC driver to place headers in xdp
fragments. To keep using direct packet access for parsing and
decapsulating headers, users can pull headers into the linear data
area by calling bpf_xdp_pull_data() and then pop the header with
bpf_xdp_adjust_head().

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.
