In the case of merge, the page passed into page_to_skb() may be a head page, not the page where the current data is located. So when trying to get the buf where the data is located, we should get buf based on headroom instead of offset. This patch solves this problem. But if you don't use this patch, the original code can also run, because if the page is not the page of the current data, the calculated tailroom will be less than 0, and will not enter the logic of build_skb() . The significance of this patch is to modify this logical problem, allowing more situations to use build_skb().
