This patch adds support for the need_wakeup feature of AF_XDP. If
the
application has told the kernel that it might sleep using the new
bind
flag XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP, the driver will then set this flag if it
has
no more buffers on the NIC Rx ring and yield to the application. For
Tx, it will set the flag if it has no outstanding Tx completion
interrupts and return to the application.

Can you elaborate why we're not returning the total budget on failure
for the wakeup case?
In the non need_wakeup case (the old behavior), when allocation fails
from the fill queue we want to retry right away basically busy
spinning on the fill queue until we find at least one entry and then
go on processing packets. Works well when the app and the driver are
on different cores, but a lousy strategy when they execute on the same
core. That is why in the need_wakeup feature case, we do not return
the total budget if there is a failure. We will just come back at a
later point in time from a syscall since the need_wakeup flag will
have been set and check the fill queue again. We do not want a
busy-spinning behavior in this case.
That makes sense. Thanks for all the work on this, Magnus!
