[..]

Is the intent here to query how much metadata has been consumed/reserved
by the driver? Looking at IGC it has the following code/comment:

	bi->xdp->data += IGC_TS_HDR_LEN;

	/* HW timestamp has been copied into local variable. Metadata
	 * length when XDP program is called should be 0.
	 */
	bi->xdp->data_meta += IGC_TS_HDR_LEN;

Are you sure that metadata size is correctly exposed to the bpf program?

My assumptions was that we should just unconditionally do bpf_xdp_adjust_meta
with -XDP_METADATA_SIZE and that should be good enough.
