====================
Unfortunately, similar scalability issues that were addressed for XDP
processing in ice, exist for XDP in the zero-copy driver used by AF_XDP.
Let's resolve them in mostly the same way as we did in [0] and utilize
the Tx batching API from XSK buffer pool.
Move the array of Tx descriptors that is used with batching approach to
the XSK buffer pool. This means that future users of this API will not
have to carry the array on their own side, they can simple refer to
pool's tx_desc array.
We also improve the Rx side where we extend ice_alloc_rx_buf_zc() to
handle the ring wrap and bump Rx tail more frequently. By doing so,
Rx side is adjusted to Tx and it was needed for l2fwd scenario.
Here are the improvements of performance numbers that this set brings
measured with xdpsock app in busy poll mode for 1 and 2 core modes.
Both Tx and Rx rings were sized to 1k length and busy poll budget was
256.
----------------------------------------------------------------
| txonly: | l2fwd | rxdrop
----------------------------------------------------------------
1C | 149% | 14% | 3%
----------------------------------------------------------------
2C | 134% | 20% | 5%
----------------------------------------------------------------
Next step will be to introduce batching onto Rx side.
v5:
* collect acks
* fix typos
* correct comments showing cache line boundaries in ice_tx_ring struct
v4 - address Alexandr's review:
* new patch (2) for making sure ring size is pow(2) when attaching
xsk socket
* don't open code ALIGN_DOWN (patch 3)
* resign from storing tx_thresh in ice_tx_ring (patch 4)
* scope variables in a better way for Tx batching (patch 7)
v3:
* drop likely() that was wrapping napi_complete_done (patch 1)
* introduce configurable Tx threshold (patch 2)
* handle ring wrap on Rx side when allocating buffers (patch 3)
* respect NAPI budget when cleaning Tx descriptors in ZC (patch 6)
v2:
* introduce new patch that resets @next_dd and @next_rs fields
* use batching API for AF_XDP Tx on ice side

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
