This is version 5 of the AF_XDP zero-copy support for igb. Since Sriram's duties changed I am sending this instead. Additionally, I've tested this on real hardware, Intel i210 [1]. Changes since v4: - Rebase to v6.10 - Fix issue reported by kernel test robot - Provide napi_id for for xdp_rxq_info_reg() so that busy polling works - Set olinfo_status in igb_xmit_zc() so that frames are transmitted Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/intel-wired-lan/20230804084051.14194-1-sriram.yagnaraman@xxxxxxxx/ [1] - https://github.com/Linutronix/TSN-Testbench/tree/main/tests/busypolling_i210 Original cover letter: The first couple of patches adds helper funcctions to prepare for AF_XDP zero-copy support which comes in the last couple of patches, one each for Rx and TX paths. As mentioned in v1 patchset [0], I don't have access to an actual IGB device to provide correct performance numbers. I have used Intel 82576EB emulator in QEMU [1] to test the changes to IGB driver. The tests use one isolated vCPU for RX/TX and one isolated vCPU for the xdp-sock application [2]. Hope these measurements provide at the least some indication on the increase in performance when using ZC, especially in the TX path. It would be awesome if someone with a real IGB NIC can test the patch. AF_XDP performance using 64 byte packets in Kpps.
