Commit Message

This patch only introduce the core data structures and API functions.
All XDP enabled drivers must use the API before this info can used.

There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP
frames have arrived on.  For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side.

Instead of extending xdp_buff each time new info is needed, the patch
creates a separate read-mostly struct xdp_rxq_info, that contains this
info.  We stress this data/cache-line is for read-only info.  This is
NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases.

The performance advantage is this info can be setup at RX-ring init
time, instead of updating N-members in xdp_buff.  A possible (driver
level) micro optimization is that xdp_buff->rxq assignment could be
done once per XDP/NAPI loop.  The extra pointer deref only happens for
program needing access to this info (thus, no slowdown to existing
use-cases).

+/**
+ * DOC: XDP RX-queue information
+ *
+ * The XDP RX-queue info (xdp_rxq_info) is associated with the driver
+ * level RX-ring queues.  It is information that is specific to how
+ * the driver have configured a given RX-ring queue.
+ *
+ * Each xdp_buff frame received in the driver carry a (pointer)
+ * reference to this xdp_rxq_info structure.  This provides the XDP
+ * data-path read-access to RX-info for both kernel and bpf-side
+ * (limited subset).
+ *
+ * For now, direct access is only safe while running in NAPI/softirq
+ * context.  Contents is read-mostly and must not be updated during
+ * driver NAPI/softirq poll.
+ *
+ * The driver usage API is a register and unregister API.
+ *
+ * The struct is not directly tied to the XDP prog.  A new XDP prog
+ * can be attached as long as it doesn't change the underlying
+ * RX-ring.  If the RX-ring does change significantly, the NIC driver
+ * naturally need to stop the RX-ring before purging and reallocating
+ * memory.  In that process the driver MUST call unregistor (which
+ * also apply for driver shutdown and unload).  The register API is
+ * also mandatory during RX-ring setup.
