Merge branch 'XDP-redirect-memory-return-API'
Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:
====================
XDP redirect memory return API
Submitted against net-next, as it contains NIC driver changes.
This patchset works towards supporting different XDP RX-ring memory
allocators. As this will be needed by the AF_XDP zero-copy mode.
The patchset uses mlx5 as the sample driver, which gets implemented
XDP_REDIRECT RX-mode, but not ndo_xdp_xmit (as this API is subject to
change thought the patchset).
A new struct xdp_frame is introduced (modeled after cpumap xdp_pkt).
And both ndo_xdp_xmit and the new xdp_return_frame end-up using this.
Support for a driver supplied allocator is implemented, and a
refurbished version of page_pool is the first return allocator type
introduced. This will be a integration point for AF_XDP zero-copy.
The mlx5 driver evolve into using the page_pool, and see a performance
increase (with ndo_xdp_xmit out ixgbe driver) from 6Mpps to 12Mpps.
The patchset stop at 16 patches (one over limit), but more API changes
are planned. Specifically extending ndo_xdp_xmit and xdp_return_frame
APIs to support bulking. As this will address some known limits.
V2: Updated according to Tariq's feedback
V3: Updated based on feedback from Jason Wang and Alex Duyck
V4: Updated based on feedback from Tariq and Jason
V5: Fix SPDX license, add Tariq's reviews, improve patch desc for perf test
V6: Updated based on feedback from Eric Dumazet and Alex Duyck
V7: Adapt to i40e that got XDP_REDIRECT support in-between
V8:
Updated based on feedback kbuild test robot, and adjust for mlx5 changes
page_pool only compiled into kernel when drivers Kconfig 'select' feature
V9:
Remove some inline statements, let compiler decide what to inline
Fix return value in virtio_net driver
Adjust for mlx5 changes in-between submissions
V10:
Minor adjust for mlx5 requested by Tariq
Resubmit against net-next
V11: avoid leaking info stored in frame data on page reuse
