I tried to combine cq available and tx writeable, but I found it very difficult. Sometimes we pay attention to the status of "available" for both, but sometimes, we may only pay attention to one, such as tx writeable, because we can use the item of fq to write to tx. And this kind of demand may be constantly changing, and it may be necessary to set it every time before entering xsk_poll, so setsockopt is not very convenient. I feel even more that using a new event may be a better solution, such as EPOLLPRI, I think it can be used here, after all, xsk should not have OOB data ^_^. However, two other problems were discovered during the test: * The mask returned by datagram_poll always contains EPOLLOUT * It is not particularly reasonable to return EPOLLOUT based on tx not full After fixing these two problems, I found that when the process is awakened by EPOLLOUT, the process can always get the item from cq. Because the number of packets that the network card can send at a time is actually limited, suppose this value is "nic_num". Once the number of consumed items in the tx queue is greater than nic_num, this means that there must also be new recycled items in the cq queue from nic. In this way, as long as the tx configured by the user is larger, we won't have the situation that tx is already in the writeable state but cannot get the item from cq.
