I ran the "xdp_rxq_info" sample with and without Sami's patch:

$ sudo ./xdp_rxq_info --dev enp134s0f0 --action XDP_DROP

Before:

Running XDP on dev:enp134s0f0 (ifindex:6) action:XDP_DROP options:no_touch
XDP stats       CPU     pps         issue-pps
XDP-RX CPU      20      23923874    0
XDP-RX CPU      total   23923874

RXQ stats       RXQ:CPU pps         issue-pps
rx_queue_index   20:20  23923878    0
rx_queue_index   20:sum 23923878

After Sami's patch:

Running XDP on dev:enp134s0f0 (ifindex:6) action:XDP_DROP options:no_touch
XDP stats       CPU     pps         issue-pps
XDP-RX CPU      20      22998700    0
XDP-RX CPU      total   22998700

RXQ stats       RXQ:CPU pps         issue-pps
rx_queue_index   20:20  22998705    0
rx_queue_index   20:sum 22998705


So, roughly ~4% for this somewhat naive scenario.


As for XDP performance tests; I guess some of the XDP selftests could be
used as well!
