When XDP_PASS were determined for linearized packets, we try to get

creating skb based on xdp_page.

With this patch "ping 192.168.100.4 -s 3900 -M do" works for XDP_PASS.

Great thanks. This was likely working before because of the memory
leak fixed in 3/9.

Looks not, without this and 3/9 the code will try to get buffers and build skb for a new packet instead of existed buffers.

Thanks
