Outstanding Rx descriptors are temporarily stored on a stash/reuse queue. When/if the HW rings comes up again, entries from the stash are used to re-populate the ring. The latter required some restructuring of the allocation scheme for the AF_XDP zero-copy implementation. There is now a fast, and a slow allocation. The "fast allocation" is used from the fast-path and obtains free buffers from the fill ring and the internal recycle mechanism. The "slow allocation" is only used in ring setup, and obtains buffers from the fill ring and the stash (if any).

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.
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.
