XDP_TX is similar to XDP_REDIRECT as it essentially redirects packets to the device itself. XDP_REDIRECT has bulk transmit mechanism to avoid the heavy cost of indirect call but it also reduces lock acquisition on the destination device that needs locks like veth and tun. XDP_TX does not use indirect calls but drivers which require locks can benefit from the bulk transmit for XDP_TX as well. This patch introduces bulk transmit mechanism in veth using bulk queue on stack, and improves XDP_TX performance by about 9%. Here are single-core/single-flow XDP_TX test results. CPU consumptions are taken from "perf report --no-child". - Before: 7.26 Mpps _raw_spin_lock 7.83% veth_xdp_xmit 12.23% - After: 7.94 Mpps _raw_spin_lock 1.08% veth_xdp_xmit 6.10% v2: - Use stack for bulk queue instead of a global variable.

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.
