This patch implements XDP transmission for TAP. Since we can't create new queues for TAP during XDP set, exist ptr_ring was reused for queuing XDP buffers. To differ xdp_buff from sk_buff, TUN_XDP_FLAG (0x1UL) was encoded into lowest bit of xpd_buff pointer during ptr_ring_produce, and was decoded during consuming. XDP metadata was stored in the headroom of the packet which should work in most of cases since driver usually reserve enough headroom. Very minor changes were done for vhost_net: it just need to peek the length depends on the type of pointer. Tests were done on two Intel E5-2630 2.40GHz machines connected back to back through two 82599ES. Traffic were generated/received through MoonGen/testpmd(rxonly). It reports ~20% improvements when xdp_redirect_map is doing redirection from ixgbe to TAP (from 2.50Mpps to 3.05Mpps) Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
