Ok, dug a bit more into this. I had an offlist discussion with Li, and
there are two places (AFAIK) where Li experience a BUG() in
tcp_collapse():

            BUG_ON(offset < 0);
and
                if (skb_copy_bits(skb, offset, skb_put(nskb, size), size))
                    BUG();

(Li, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I still claim that the page-flipping mechanism is correct, but I found
some weirdness in the build_skb() call.

In drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c, build_skb() is invoked as:
    skb = build_skb(xdp->data_hard_start, truesize);

For the setup Li has truesize is 2048 (half a page), but the
rx_buf_len is 1536. In the driver a packet is layed out as:

| padding 192 | packet data 1536 | skb shared info 320 |

build_skb() assumes that the second argument (frag_size) is max packet
size + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)). In other words,
frag_size should not include the padding (192 above). In build_skb(),
frag_size is used to compute the skb truesize and skb end. i40e passes
a too large buffer, and can therefore potentially corrupt the skb, and
maybe this is the reason for tcp_collapse() splatting.

Li, could you test if you get the splat with this patch:

I'll have a look in the other Intel drivers, and see if there are
similar issues. I'll cook a patch.
