Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== The set grew from the poor performance of %BPF_F_TEST_XDP_LIVE_FRAMES when the ice-backed device is a sender. Initially there were around 3.3 Mpps / thread, while I have 5.5 on skb-based pktgen ... After fixing 0005 (0004 is a prereq for it) first (strange thing nobody noticed that earlier), I started catching random OOMs. This is how 0002 (and partially 0001) appeared. 0003 is a suggestion from Maciej to not waste time on refactoring dead lines. 0006 is a "cherry on top" to get away with the final 6.7 Mpps. 4.5 of 6 are fixes, but only the first three are tagged, since it then starts being tricky. I may backport them manually later on. TL;DR for the series is that shortcuts are good, but only as long as they don't make the driver miss important things. %XDP_TX is purely driver-local, however .ndo_xdp_xmit() is not, and sometimes assumptions can be unsafe there. With that series and also one core code patch[0], "live frames" and xdp-trafficgen are now safe'n'fast on ice (probably more to come).

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.
