Seems that yes, but that's used only for trace for now.
As it runs under napi and flush clear dev_rx i must do it right in the
rx_handler. So next patchset version will have one patch less.

Thanks!

I can add, but not sure if it has or can have some conflicts with another
memory allocators, now or in future. Main here to not became a cornerstone
in some not obvious use-cases.

So, for now, let it be in this way:

This is now adjusted outside lock, not good.

In final it serves:

Subject: [PATCH] xdp: allow same allocator usage

XDP rxqs can be same for ndevs running under same rx napi softirq.
But there is no ability to register same allocator for both rxqs,
by fact it can same rxq but has different ndev as a reference.

Due to last changes allocator destroy can be defered till the moment
all packets are recycled by destination interface, afterwards it's
freed. In order to schedule allocator destroy only after all users are
unregistered, add refcnt to allocator object and schedule to destroy
only it reaches 0.

Jesper, are you Ok with this version?

Please see my other patch, this is based on our first refcnt attempt.
I think that other patch is a better way forward.
XDP patch serves it better and can prevent not only obj deletion but also
pool flush. So I propose use 2 patches.
