Subject: [PATCH net v2 4/5] dpaa_eth: execute xdp_do_flush() before napi_complete_done()

From: Magnus Karlsson <magnus.karlsson@...el.com>

Make sure that xdp_do_flush() is always executed before
napi_complete_done(). This is important for two reasons. First, a
redirect to an XSKMAP assumes that a call to xdp_do_redirect() from
napi context X on CPU Y will be followed by a xdp_do_flush() from the
same napi context and CPU. This is not guaranteed if the
napi_complete_done() is executed before xdp_do_flush(), as it tells
the napi logic that it is fine to schedule napi context X on another
CPU. Details from a production system triggering this bug using the
veth driver can be found following the first link below.

The second reason is that the XDP_REDIRECT logic in itself relies on
being inside a single NAPI instance through to the xdp_do_flush() call
for RCU protection of all in-kernel data structures. Details can be
found in the second link below.
