Looking into this more I found this comment in the mlx5 driver:

/* Don't enable multi buffer on XDP_REDIRECT SQ, as it's not yet
* supported by upstream, and there is no defined trigger to allow
* transmitting redirected multi-buffer frames.
*/

So at least mlx5 does not yet support XDP multi-buffer with
XDP_REDIRECT. What "upstream" support is required to get XDP_REDIRECT
to work with XSKs?
