Several performance improvements in XDP TX datapath,
including:
- Ring a single doorbell for XDP TX ring per NAPI budget,
instead of doing it per a lower threshold (was 8).
This includes removing the flow of immediate doorbell ringing
in case of a full TX ring.
- Compiler branch predictor hints.
- Calculate values in compile time rather than in runtime.
Performance tests:
Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Single queue no-RSS optimization ON.
XDP_TX packet rate:
-------------------------------------
| Before | After | Gain |
IPv4 | 10.3 Mpps | 12.0 Mpps | 17% |
IPv6 | 10.3 Mpps | 12.0 Mpps | 17% |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
