From: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@xxxxxxxxx>
The napi_budget, meaning the number of received packets that are
allowed to be processed for each napi invocation, takes into
consideration that each received packet is aimed for the kernel
networking stack.
That is not the case for the AF_XDP receive path, where the cost of
each packet is significantly less. Therefore, this commit disregards
the napi budget and increases it to 256. Processing 256 packets
targeted for AF_XDP is still less work than 64 (napi budget) packets
going to the kernel networking stack.
The performance for the rx_drop scenario is up 7%.
