David S. Miller 684009d4fd 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

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
