XSK RQs support striding RQ linear mode, but the stride size is always set to PAGE_SIZE. It may be larger than the XSK frame size, unnecessarily reducing the useful space in a WQE, but more importantly causing UMEM data corruption in certain cases. Normally, stride size bigger than XSK frame size is not a problem if the hardware enforces the MTU. However, traffic between vports skips the hardware MTU check, and oversized packets may be received. If an oversized packet is bigger than the XSK frame but not bigger than the stride, it will cause overwriting of the adjacent UMEM region. If the packet takes more than one stride, they can be recycled for reuse so it's not a problem when the XSK frame size matches the stride size. To reduce the impact of the above issue, attempt to use the MTT page size for striding RQ that matches the XSK frame size, allowing to safely use 2048-byte frames on an up-to-date firmware.

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.
