I am trying to deploy an XDP program to GCP with gVNIC that uses bpf_xdp_adjust_head. This currently fails in mysterious ways and after some debugging and reading the source code, I think I have figured out why:

The driver only provides us with two bytes of headroom:

The constant passed here, GVE_RX_PAD is defined as 2:

That is unusually low.

The Linux kernel itself defines the headroom as 256:

Would it be possible to adjust this? If I compile the driver myself (which this constant changed), are things "just" going to work or are there more things that need to be changed?
