Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] mlx4_en XDP TX improvements

Hi Dave,

This patchset contains performance improvements
to the XDP_TX use case in the mlx4 Eth driver.

Patch 1 is a simple change in a function parameter type.
Patch 2 replaces a call to a generic function with the
  relevant parts inlined.
Patch 3 moves the write of descriptors' constant values
  from data path to control path.

Series generated against net-next commit:
833e0e2f24fd net: dst: move cpu inside ifdef to avoid compilation warning

Thanks,
Tariq.


Tariq Toukan (3):
  net/mlx4_en: Replace netdev parameter with priv in XDP xmit function
  net/mlx4_en: Obsolete call to generic write_desc in XDP xmit flow
  net/mlx4_en: XDP_TX, assign constant values of TX descs on ring
