> although this work started as an effort to add multi-buffer XDP support
> to ice driver, as usual it turned out that some other side stuff needed
> to be addressed, so let me give you an overview.

> First patch adjusts legacy-rx in a way that it will be possible to refer
> to skb_shared_info being at the end of the buffer when gathering up
> frame fragments within xdp_buff.
>
> Then, patches 2-9 prepare ice driver in a way that actual multi-buffer
> patches will be easier to swallow.

> 10 and 11 are the meat. What is worth mentioning is that this set
> actually *fixes* things as patch 11 removes the logic based on
> next_dd/rs and we previously stepped away from this for ice_xmit_zc().
> Currently, AF_XDP ZC XDP_TX workload is off as there are two cleaning
> sides that can be triggered and two of them work on different internal
> logic. This set unifies that and allows us to improve the performance by
> 2x with a trick on the last (13) patch.
>
> 12th is a simple cleanup of no longer fields from Tx ring.

> I might be wrong but I have not seen anyone reporting performance impact
> among patches that add XDP multi-buffer support to a particular driver.
> Numbers below were gathered via xdp_rxq_info and xdp_redirect_map on
> 1500 MTU:
>
> XDP_DROP +1%
> XDP_PASS -1,2%
> XDP_TX -0,5%
> XDP_REDIRECT -3,3%
>
> Cherry on top, which is not directly related to mbuf support (last
> patch):
> XDP_TX ZC +126%
>
> Target the we agreed on was to not degrade performance for any action by
> anything that would be over 5%, so our goal was met. Basically this set
> keeps the performance where it was. Redirect is slower due to more
> frequent tail bumps.

You forgot to add my
