This is first part of virtio-net support AF_XDP zero copy. The whole patch set http://lore.kernel.org/all/20231229073108.57778-1-xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ## AF_XDP XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The performance of zero copy is very good. mlx5 and intel ixgbe already support this feature, This patch set allows virtio-net to support xsk's zerocopy xmit feature. At present, we have completed some preparation: 1. vq-reset (virtio spec and kernel code) 2. virtio-core premapped dma 3. virtio-net xdp refactor So it is time for Virtio-Net to complete the support for the XDP Socket Zerocopy. Virtio-net can not increase the queue num at will, so xsk shares the queue with kernel. On the other hand, Virtio-Net does not support generate interrupt from driver manually, so when we wakeup tx xmit, we used some tips. If the CPU run by TX NAPI last time is other CPUs, use IPI to wake up NAPI on the remote CPU. If it is also the local CPU, then we wake up napi directly. This patch set includes some refactor to the virtio-net to let that to support AF_XDP. ## performance ENV: Qemu with vhost-user(polling mode).

I commit to maintain AF_XDP support in virtio-net. Please review. Thanks.
