When napi_tx is enabled, virtnet_poll_cleantx() called

This is bogus since the queue has xdp_frames, not sk_buffs, thus mangled
device tx bytes counters because skb->len is meaningless value, and even
triggered oops due to general protection fault on freeing them.

Since xdp send queues do not aquire locks, old xdp_frames should be
freed only in virtnet_xdp_xmit(), so just skip free_old_xmit_skbs() for
xdp send queues.

Similarly virtnet_poll_tx() called free_old_xmit_skbs(). This NAPI
handler is called even without calling start_xmit() because cb for tx is
by default enabled. Once the handler is called, it enabled the cb again,
and then the handler would be called again. We don't need this handler
for XDP, so don't enable cb as well as not calling free_old_xmit_skbs().

Also, we need to disable tx NAPI when disabling XDP, so
virtnet_poll_tx() can safely access curr_queue_pairs and
xdp_queue_pairs, which are not atomically updated while disabling XDP.

I suggest to split this into another patch or squash this part to patch 1.
This part is for invocation of is_xdp_raw_buffer_queue() from
virtnet_poll_tx(), which is added in this patch, so I'm thinking it's
more natural to keep this hunk in this patch.


I see.
