Knowing the memory size backing the packet/xdp_frame data area, and knowing it already have reserved room for skb_shared_info, simplifies using build_skb significantly. With this change we no-longer lie about the SKB truesize, but more importantly a significant larger skb_tailroom is now provided, e.g. when drivers uses a full PAGE_SIZE. This extra tailroom (in linear area) can be used by the network stack when coalescing SKBs (e.g. in skb_try_coalesce, see TCP cases where tcp_queue_rcv() can 'eat' skb).

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 Restructured Text 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.
