Merge branch 'virtio-net-support-af_xdp-zero-copy-tx'
Xuan Zhuo says: ==================== virtio-net: support AF_XDP zero copy (tx) 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. This patch set includes some refactor to the virtio-net to let that to support AF_XDP. The current configuration sets the virtqueue (vq) to premapped mode, implying that all buffers submitted to this queue must be mapped ahead of time. This presents a challenge for the virtnet send queue (sq): the virtnet driver would be required to keep track of dma information for vq size * 17, which can be substantial. However, if the premapped mode were applied on a per-buffer basis, the complexity would be greatly reduced. With AF_XDP enabled, AF_XDP buffers would become premapped, while kernel skb buffers could remain unmapped. We can distinguish them by sg_page(sg), When sg_page(sg) is NULL, this indicates that the driver has performed DMA mapping in advance, allowing the Virtio core to directly utilize sg_dma_address(sg) without conducting any internal DMA mapping. Additionally, DMA unmap operations for this buffer will be bypassed. ENV: Qemu with vhost-user(polling mode).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
