We want to change the current ndo_xdp_xmit drop semantics because it will allow us to implement better queue overflow handling. This is working towards the larger goal of a XDP TX queue-hook. Move XDP_REDIRECT error path handling from each XDP ethernet driver to devmap code. According to the new APIs, the driver running the ndo_xdp_xmit pointer, will break tx loop whenever the hw reports a tx error and it will just return to devmap caller the number of successfully transmitted frames. It will be devmap responsibility to free dropped frames. Move each XDP ndo_xdp_xmit capable driver to the new APIs: - veth - virtio-net - mvneta - mvpp2 - socionext - amazon ena - bnxt - freescale (dpaa2, dpaa) - xen-frontend - qede - ice - igb - ixgbe - i40e - mlx5 - ti (cpsw, cpsw-new) - tun - sfc Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Reviewed-by: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Camelia Groza <camelia.groza@nxp.com> Acked-by: Edward Cree <ecree.xilinx@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Shay Agroskin <shayagr@amazon.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ed670de24f951cfd77590decf0229a0ad7fd12f6.1615201152.git.lorenzo@kernel.org
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 Restructured Text 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.
