mainlining shenanigans

Magnus Karlsson says: ==================== This patch set improves the performance of mainly the Tx processing of AF_XDP sockets. Though, patch 3 also improves the Rx path. All in all, this patch set improves the throughput of the l2fwd xdpsock application by around 11%. If we just take a look at Tx processing part, it is improved by 35% to 40%. Hopefully the new batched Tx interfaces should be of value to other drivers implementing AF_XDP zero-copy support. But patch #3 is generic and will improve performance of all drivers when using AF_XDP sockets (under the premises explained in that patch). @Daniel. In patch 3, I apply all the padding required to hinder the adjacency prefetcher to prefetch the wrong things. After this patch set, I will submit another patch set that introduces ____cacheline_padding_in_smp in include/linux/cache.h according to your suggestions. The last patch in that patch set will then convert the explicit paddings that we have now to ____cacheline_padding_in_smp. v2 -> v3: * Fixed #pragma warning with clang and defined a loop_unrolled_for macro for easier readability [lkp, Nick] * Simplified invalid descriptor handling in xskq_cons_read_desc_batch() v1 -> v2: * Removed added parameter in i40e_setup_tx_descriptors and adopted a simpler solution [Maciej] * Added test for !xs in xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() [John] * Simplified return path in xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() [John] * Dropped patch #1 in v1 that introduced lazy completions. Hopefully this is not needed when we get busy poll [Jakub] * Iterate over local variable in xskq_prod_reserve_addr_batch() for improved performance * Fixed the fallback path in xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() so that it also produces a batch of descriptors, albeit by using the slower (but more general) older code. This improves the performance of the case when multiple sockets are sharing the same device and queue id. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> |

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.
