This patch is used to construct skb based on page to save memory copy
overhead.

This function is implemented based on IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR. Only the
network card priv_flags supports IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR will use page to
directly construct skb. If this feature is not supported, it is still
necessary to copy data to construct skb.

---------------- Performance Testing ------------

The test environment is Aliyun ECS server.
Test cmd:
```
xdpsock -i eth0 -t  -S -s <msg size>
```

Test result data:

size    64      512     1024    1500
copy    1916747 1775988 1600203 1440054
page    1974058 1953655 1945463 1904478
percent 3.0%    10.0%   21.58%  32.3%

The easiest solution is:

	skb->truesize += PAGE_SIZE * i;

i would be equal to skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags after exiting the loop.

Oops, pls ignore this. I forgot that XSK buffers are not
"one per page".
We need to count the number of pages manually and then do

	skb->truesize += PAGE_SIZE * npages;

Right.

Also,
maybe we should allocate it with NET_SKB_PAD so NIC drivers could
use some reserved space?

		skb = sock_alloc_send_skb(&xs->sk, NET_SKB_PAD, 1, &err);
		...
		skb_reserve(skb, NET_SKB_PAD);

Eric, what do you think?

There are two possible packet buffer (chunks) sizes in a umem, 2K and
4K on a system with a PAGE_SIZE of 4K. If I remember correctly, and
please correct me if wrong, truesize is used for memory accounting.
But in this code, no kernel memory has been allocated (apart from the
skb). The page is just a part of the umem that has been already
allocated beforehand and by user-space in this case. So what should
truesize be in this case? Do we add 0, chunk_size * i, or the
complicated case of counting exactly how many 4K pages that are used
when the chunk_size is 2K, as two chunks could occupy the same page,
or just the upper bound of PAGE_SIZE * i that is likely a good
approximation in most cases? Just note that there might be other uses
of truesize that I am unaware of that could impact this choice.

Truesize is "what amount of memory does this skb occupy with all its
fragments, linear space and struct sk_buff itself". The closest it
will be to the actual value, the better.
In this case, I think adding of chunk_size * i would be enough.

(PAGE_SIZE * i can be overwhelming when chunk_size is 2K, especially
for setups with PAGE_SIZE > SZ_4K)

Sounds like a good approximation to me.

You are right. That would be quite horrible on a system with a page size of 64K.
