XDP core assumes that the frame_size of xdp_buff and the length of
the frag are PAGE_SIZE. But before xdp is set, the length of the prefilled
buffer may exceed PAGE_SIZE, which may cause the processing of xdp to fail,
so we disable the hole mechanism when xdp is loaded.

How is this synchronized with virtnet_xdp_set()?

I think we need to use headroom here since it did:

static unsigned int virtnet_get_headroom(struct virtnet_info *vi)
{
        return vi->xdp_enabled ? VIRTIO_XDP_HEADROOM : 0;
}

Otherwise xdp_enabled could be re-read which may lead bugs.

Thanks

Yes, we should use headroom instead of using vi->xdp_enabled twice in 
the same
position to avoid re-reading.

Thanks for reminding.
