Commit6dfb970d3d("xdp: avoid leaking info stored in frame data on page reuse") tried to allow user/bpf_prog to (re)use area used by xdp_frame (stored in frame headroom), by memset clearing area when bpf_xdp_adjust_head give bpf_prog access to headroom area. The mentioned commit had two bugs. (1) Didn't take bpf_xdp_adjust_meta into account. (2) a combination of bpf_xdp_adjust_head calls, where xdp->data is moved into xdp_frame section, can cause clearing xdp_frame area again for area previously granted to bpf_prog. After discussions with Daniel, we choose to implement a simpler solution to the problem, which is to reserve the headroom used by xdp_frame info. This also avoids the situation where bpf_prog is allowed to adjust/add headers, and then XDP_REDIRECT later drops the packet due to lack of headroom for the xdp_frame. This would likely confuse the end-user.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
