There is a potential race in the TX completion code for the SKB
case. One process enters the sendmsg code of an AF_XDP socket in order
to send a frame. The execution eventually trickles down to the driver
that is told to send the packet. However, it decides to drop the
packet due to some error condition (e.g., rings full) and frees the
SKB. This will trigger the SKB destructor and a completion will be
sent to the AF_XDP user space through its
single-producer/single-consumer queues.
At the same time a TX interrupt has fired on another core and it
dispatches the TX completion code in the driver. It does its HW
specific things and ends up freeing the SKB associated with the
transmitted packet. This will trigger the SKB destructor and a
completion will be sent to the AF_XDP user space through its
single-producer/single-consumer queues. With a pseudo call stack, it
would look like this:
Core 1:
sendmsg() being called in the application
netdev_start_xmit()
Driver entered through ndo_start_xmit
Driver decides to free the SKB for some reason (e.g., rings full)
Destructor of SKB called
xskq_produce_addr() is called to signal completion to user space
Core 2:
TX completion irq
NAPI loop
Driver irq handler for TX completions
Frees the SKB
Destructor of SKB called
xskq_produce_addr() is called to signal completion to user space
We now have a violation of the single-producer/single-consumer
principle for our queues as there are two threads trying to produce at
the same time on the same queue.
Fixed by introducing a spin_lock in the destructor. In regards to the
performance, I get around 1.74 Mpps for txonly before and after the
introduction of the spinlock. There is of course some impact due to
the spin lock but it is in the less significant digits that are too
noisy for me to measure. But let us say that the version without the
spin lock got 1.745 Mpps in the best case and the version with 1.735
Mpps in the worst case, then that would mean a maximum drop in
performance of 0.5%.

Here we add the functionality required to support zero-copy Tx, and
also exposes various zero-copy related functions for the netdevs.

The xdp_umem_page holds the address for a page. Trade memory for
faster lookup. Later, we'll add DMA address here as well.

Another setsockopt (XDP_TX_QUEUE) is added to let the process allocate
a queue, where the user process can pass frames to be transmitted by
the kernel.
The mmapping of the queue is done using the XDP_PGOFF_TX_QUEUE offset.

The xskmap is yet another BPF map, very much inspired by
dev/cpu/sockmap, and is a holder of AF_XDP sockets. A user application
adds AF_XDP sockets into the map, and by using the bpf_redirect_map
helper, an XDP program can redirect XDP frames to an AF_XDP socket.
Note that a socket that is bound to certain ifindex/queue index will
*only* accept XDP frames from that netdev/queue index. If an XDP
program tries to redirect from a netdev/queue index other than what
the socket is bound to, the frame will not be received on the socket.
A socket can reside in multiple maps.
v3: Fixed race and simplified code.
v2: Removed one indirection in map lookup.

Here the actual receive functions of AF_XDP are implemented, that in a
later commit, will be called from the XDP layers.
There's one set of functions for the XDP_DRV side and another for
XDP_SKB (generic).
A new XDP API, xdp_return_buff, is also introduced.
Adding xdp_return_buff, which is analogous to xdp_return_frame, but
acts upon an struct xdp_buff. The API will be used by AF_XDP in future
commits.
Support for the poll syscall is also implemented.
v2: xskq_validate_id did not update cons_tail.
The entries variable was calculated twice in xskq_nb_avail.
Squashed xdp_return_buff commit.

Here, the bind syscall is added. Binding an AF_XDP socket, means
associating the socket to an umem, a netdev and a queue index. This
can be done in two ways.
The first way, creating a "socket from scratch". Create the umem using
the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt and an associated fill queue with
XDP_UMEM_FILL_QUEUE. Create the Rx queue using the XDP_RX_QUEUE
setsockopt. Call bind passing ifindex and queue index ("channel" in
ethtool speak).
The second way to bind a socket, is simply skipping the
umem/netdev/queue index, and passing another already setup AF_XDP
socket. The new socket will then have the same umem/netdev/queue index
as the parent so it will share the same umem. You must also set the
flags field in the socket address to XDP_SHARED_UMEM.
v2: Use PTR_ERR instead of passing error variable explicitly.

a queue, where the kernel can pass completed Rx frames from the kernel
to user process.

In this commit the base structure of the AF_XDP address family is set
up. Further, we introduce the abilty register a window of user memory
to the kernel via the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt syscall. The memory
window is viewed by an AF_XDP socket as a set of equally large
frames. After a user memory registration all frames are "owned" by the
user application, and not the kernel.
v2: More robust checks on umem creation and unaccount on error.
Call set_page_dirty_lock on cleanup.
Simplified xdp_umem_reg.
