This series addresses issue with the current workaround for the A050385 erratum in XDP scenarios.
The first patch makes sure the xdp_frame structure stored at the start of new buffers isn't overwritten. The second patch decreases the required data alignment value, thus preventing unnecessary realignments. The third patch moves the data in place to align it, instead of allocating a new buffer for each frame that breaks the alignment rules, thus bringing an up to 40% performance increase. With this change, the impact of the erratum workaround is reduced in many cases to a single digit decrease, and to lower double digits in single flow scenarios.
