My proposal#1 is XDP only access first-buffer[1], as this simplifies things.

(AFAIK) What you are proposing is that all the buffers are passed to
the XDP prog (in form of a iovec).  I need some more details about your
suggestion.

Specifically:

- What is the semantic when a 3 buffer packet is input and XDP prog
choose to return XDP_DROP for packet #2 ?

- Same situation of packet #2 wants a XDP_TX or redirect?

The data structure used for holding these packet buffers/segments also
needs to be discussed.  I would either use an array of bio_vec[2] or
skb_frag_t (aka skb_frag_struct).  The skb_frag_t would be most
obvious, as we already have to write this when creating an SKB, in
skb_shared_info area. (Structs listed below signature).

The problem is also that size of these structs (16 bytes) per
buffer/segment, and we likely need to support 17 segments, as this need
to be compatible with SKBs (size 272 bytes).

My idea here is that we simply use the same memory area, that we have to
store skb_shared_info into.  As this allow us to get the SKB setup for
free, when doing XDP_PASS or when doing SKB alloc after XDP_REDIRECT.
