I wonder where does this number come from? This is quite a lot and means that using XDP_PASS will slow down any sockets on top of it. Which in turn means people will try to remove XDP when not in use, causing resets. E.g. build_skb (which I have a patch to switch to) uses a much more reasonable NET_SKB_PAD. -- MST
