Linux kernel source tree
eb087cd828
With rings being split, it is now convenient to introduce a pointer to XDP ring within the Rx ring. For XDP_TX workloads this means that xdp_rings array access will be skipped, which was executed per each processed frame. Also, read the XDP prog once per NAPI and if prog is present, set up the local xdp_ring pointer. Reading prog a single time was discussed in [1] with some concern raised by Toke around dispatcher handling and having the need for going through the RCU grace period in the ndo_bpf driver callback, but ice currently is torning down NAPI instances regardless of the prog presence on VSI. Although the pointer to XDP ring introduced to Rx ring makes things a lot slimmer/simpler, I still feel that single prog read per NAPI lifetime is beneficial. Further patch that will introduce the fallback path will also get a profit from that as xdp_ring pointer will be set during the XDP rings setup.

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.
