Before this fix, running high rate traffic through XDP_REDIRECT
with multibuf could overrun the fifo used to release the
xdp frames after tx completion. This resulted in corrupted data
being consumed on the free side.
The culplirt was a miscalculation of the fifo size: the maximum ratio
between fifo entries / data segments was incorrect. This ratio serves to
calculate the max fifo size for a full sq where each packet uses the
worst case number of entries in the fifo.
This patch fixes the formula and names the constant. It also makes sure
that future values will use a power of 2 number of entries for the fifo
mask to work.

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.
