Subject: [PATCH net-next v1 00/19] virtio-net: support AF_XDP zero copy

## AF_XDP

XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero
copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The
performance of zero copy is very good. mlx5 and intel ixgbe already support
this feature, This patch set allows virtio-net to support xsk's zerocopy xmit
feature.

At present, we have completed some preparation:

1. vq-reset (virtio spec and kernel code)
2. virtio-core premapped dma
3. virtio-net xdp refactor

So it is time for Virtio-Net to complete the support for the XDP Socket
Zerocopy.

Virtio-net can not increase the queue num at will, so xsk shares the queue with
kernel.

On the other hand, Virtio-Net does not support generate interrupt from driver
manually, so when we wakeup tx xmit, we used some tips. If the CPU run by TX
NAPI last time is other CPUs, use IPI to wake up NAPI on the remote CPU. If it
is also the local CPU, then we wake up napi directly.

This patch set includes some refactor to the virtio-net to let that to support
AF_XDP.

## performance

ENV: Qemu with vhost-user(polling mode).

Sockperf: https://github.com/Mellanox/sockperf
I use this tool to send udp packet by kernel syscall.

xmit command: sockperf tp -i 10.0.3.1 -t 1000

I write a tool that sends udp packets or recvs udp packets by AF_XDP.

                  | Guest APP CPU |Guest Softirq CPU | UDP PPS
------------------|---------------|------------------|------------
xmit by syscall   |   100%        |                  |   676,915
xmit by xsk       |   59.1%       |   100%           | 5,447,168
recv by syscall   |   60%         |   100%           |   932,288
recv by xsk       |   35.7%       |   100%           | 3,343,168

## maintain

I am currently a reviewer for virtio-net. I commit to maintain AF_XDP support in
virtio-net.

Please review.

Thanks.

v1:
    1. remove two virtio commits. Push this patchset to net-next
    2. squash "virtio_net: virtnet_poll_tx support rescheduled" to xsk: support tx
    3. fix some warnings

Xuan Zhuo (19):
  virtio_net: rename free_old_xmit_skbs to free_old_xmit
  virtio_net: unify the code for recycling the xmit ptr
  virtio_net: independent directory
  virtio_net: move to virtio_net.h
  virtio_net: add prefix virtnet to all struct/api inside virtio_net.h
  virtio_net: separate virtnet_rx_resize()
  virtio_net: separate virtnet_tx_resize()
  virtio_net: sq support premapped mode
  virtio_net: xsk: bind/unbind xsk
  virtio_net: xsk: prevent disable tx napi
  virtio_net: xsk: tx: support tx
  virtio_net: xsk: tx: support wakeup
  virtio_net: xsk: tx: virtnet_free_old_xmit() distinguishes xsk buffer
  virtio_net: xsk: tx: virtnet_sq_free_unused_buf() check xsk buffer
  virtio_net: xsk: rx: introduce add_recvbuf_xsk()
  virtio_net: xsk: rx: introduce receive_xsk() to recv xsk buffer
  virtio_net: xsk: rx: virtnet_rq_free_unused_buf() check xsk buffer
  virtio_net: update tx timeout record
  virtio_net: xdp_features add NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY
