Have you tried calling xdp_do_flush (that calls __xsk_map_flush()) and
(I guess) xsk_set_rx_need_wakeup() here, instead of stopping the loop?
(Or doing this in xsk core).

Looking at the code, the AF_XDP frames are "published" in the queue
rather late for AF_XDP.  Maybe in an orthogonal optimization, have you
considered "publishing" the ring producer when e.g. the queue is
half-full?
