It supports XDP_PASS, XDP_DROP and multi buffer. The new function aq_nic_xmit_xdpf() is used to send packet with xdp_frame and internally it calls aq_nic_map_xdp(). AQC chip supports 32 multi-queues and 8 vectors(irq). there are two option 1. under 8 cores and 4 tx queues per core. 2. under 4 cores and 8 tx queues per core. Like ixgbe, these tx queues can be used only for XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT queue. If so, no tx_lock is needed. But this patchset doesn't use this strategy because getting hardware tx queue index cost is too high. So, tx_lock is used in the aq_nic_xmit_xdpf(). single-core, single queue, 80% cpu utilization. 30.75% bpf_prog_xxx_xdp_prog_tx [k] bpf_prog_xxx_xdp_prog_tx 10.35% [kernel] [k] aq_hw_read_reg <---------- here 4.38% [kernel] [k] get_page_from_freelist single-core, 8 queues, 100% cpu utilization, half PPS. 45.56% [kernel] [k] aq_hw_read_reg <---------- here 17.58% bpf_prog_xxx_xdp_prog_tx [k] bpf_prog_xxx_xdp_prog_tx 4.72% [kernel] [k] hw_atl_b0_hw_ring_rx_receive The new function __aq_ring_xdp_clean() is a xdp rx handler and this is called only when XDP is attached.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
