Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] virtio-net: make the virtio-net has independent directory
This is first part of virtio-net support AF_XDP zero copy.
The whole patch set
http://lore.kernel.org/all/20231229073108.57778-1-xuanzhuo@linux.alibaba.com
## 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).
Host CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8163 CPU @ 2.50GHz

But AF_XDP consumes more CPU for tx and rx napi(100% and 86%).
## maintain
I am currently a reviewer for virtio-net. I commit to maintain AF_XDP support in
virtio-net.
Please review.
Thanks.
Xuan Zhuo (5):
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 core structures to virtio_net.h
virtio_net: add prefix virtnet to all struct inside virtio_net.h
