This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xsk: Simplify detection of empty and full rings to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xsk-simplify-detection-of-empty-and-full-rings.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6c4cbef21253bc82dc2a759b3e0894f5303291c3 Author: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 19 13:39:21 2019 +0100 xsk: Simplify detection of empty and full rings [ Upstream commit 11cc2d21499cabe7e7964389634ed1de3ee91d33 ] In order to set the correct return flags for poll, the xsk code has to check if the Rx queue is empty and if the Tx queue is full. This code was unnecessarily large and complex as it used the functions that are used to update the local state from the global state (xskq_nb_free and xskq_nb_avail). Since we are not doing this nor updating any data dependent on this state, we can simplify the functions. Another benefit from this is that we can also simplify the xskq_nb_free and xskq_nb_avail functions in a later commit.
