Previous patch addressed the situation of having some free resources for xdp tx but not enough for one tx queue per CPU. This patch address the worst case of not having resources at all for xdp tx. Instead of using queues dedicated to xdp, normal queues used by network stack are shared for both cases, using __netif_tx_lock for synchronization. Also queue stop/restart must be considered in the xdp path to avoid freezing the queue. This is not the ideal situation we might want to be, and a performance penalty is expected both for normal and xdp traffic, but at least XDP will work in all possible situations (with a warning in the logs), improving a bit the pain of not knowing in what situations we can use it and in what situations we cannot.

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.
