Subject: [net-next V8 PATCH 00/16] XDP redirect memory return API

This V8 is send against net-next, because i40e got XDP_REDIRECT
support in-between V6, and it doesn't exist in bpf-next yet.  Most
significant change in this V8, is that page_pool only gets compiled
into the kernel when a drivers Kconfig 'select' the feature.

This patchset works towards supporting different XDP RX-ring memory
allocators.  As this will be needed by the AF_XDP zero-copy mode.

The patchset uses mlx5 as the sample driver, which gets implemented
XDP_REDIRECT RX-mode, but not ndo_xdp_xmit (as this API is subject to
change thought the patchset).

A new struct xdp_frame is introduced (modeled after cpumap xdp_pkt).
And both ndo_xdp_xmit and the new xdp_return_frame end-up using this.

Support for a driver supplied allocator is implemented, and a
refurbished version of page_pool is the first return allocator type
introduced.  This will be a integration point for AF_XDP zero-copy.

The mlx5 driver evolve into using the page_pool, and see a performance
increase (with ndo_xdp_xmit out ixgbe driver) from 6Mpps to 12Mpps.


The patchset stop at 16 patches (one over limit), but more API changes
are planned.  Specifically extending ndo_xdp_xmit and xdp_return_frame
APIs to support bulking.  As this will address some known limits.

V2: Updated according to Tariq's feedback
V3: Updated based on feedback from Jason Wang and Alex Duyck
V4: Updated based on feedback from Tariq and Jason
V5: Fix SPDX license, add Tariq's reviews, improve patch desc for perf test
V6: Updated based on feedback from Eric Dumazet and Alex Duyck
V7: Adapt to i40e that got XDP_REDIRECT support in-between
V8: Updated based on feedback kbuild test robot, and adjust for mlx5 changes

      xdp: move struct xdp_buff from filter.h to xdp.h
      xdp: introduce a new xdp_frame type
      tun: convert to use generic xdp_frame and xdp_return_frame API
      virtio_net: convert to use generic xdp_frame and xdp_return_frame API
      bpf: cpumap convert to use generic xdp_frame
      i40e: convert to use generic xdp_frame and xdp_return_frame API
      mlx5: register a memory model when XDP is enabled
      xdp: rhashtable with allocator ID to pointer mapping
      page_pool: refurbish version of page_pool code
