mainlining shenanigans
5050471d35
We do not reset or free up unused buffers when enabling/disabling XDP,
so it can happen that xdp_frames are freed after disabling XDP or
sk_buffs are freed after enabling XDP on xdp tx queues.
Thus we need to handle both forms (xdp_frames and sk_buffs) regardless
of XDP setting.
One way to trigger this problem is to disable XDP when napi_tx is
enabled. In that case, virtnet_xdp_set() calls virtnet_napi_enable()
which kicks NAPI. The NAPI handler will call virtnet_poll_cleantx()
which invokes free_old_xmit_skbs() for queues which have been used by
XDP.
Note that even with this change we need to keep skipping
free_old_xmit_skbs() from NAPI handlers when XDP is enabled, because XDP
tx queues do not aquire queue locks.
- v2: Use napi_consume_skb() instead of dev_consume_skb_any()

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.
