Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] xsk: improvement performance in copy mode

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

Like in VM using virtio_net, there are not that many machines supporting
advanced function like multi-buffer and zerocopy. Using xsk copy mode
becomes a default choice to support bypass kernel feature instead of
resorting to DPDK.

Prior to this series, zerocopy mode has a better performance than copy
mode. But now, the copy mode outperforms zc mode by 12.9%, which was
tested on ixgbe driver by means of xdpsock.

The thought behind this series is to aggregate packets in a certain
small group like GSO/GRO and then send them at one time by only grabbing
the tx queue and disable bh once.

  xsk: introduce XDP_GENERIC_XMIT_BATCH setsockopt
  xsk: support generic batch xmit in copy mode
