      igc: Add initial XDP support · 26575105
      Andre Guedes authored
      Add the initial XDP support to the igc driver. For now, only XDP_PASS,
      XDP_DROP, XDP_ABORTED actions are supported. Upcoming patches will add
      support for the remaining XDP actions.
      
      XDP configuration helpers are defined in a new file, igc_xdp.c. These
      helpers are utilized in igc_main.c to implement the ndo_bpf callback.
      XDP-related code that belongs to the driver's hot path is landed in
      igc_main.c.
      
      By default, the driver uses Rx buffers with 2 KB size. When XDP is
      enabled, it uses larger buffers so we have enough space to accommodate
      the headroom and tailroom required by XDP infrastructure. Also, the
      driver doesn't support XDP functionality with frames that span over
      multiple buffers so jumbo frames are not allowed for now.
      
      The approach implemented follows the approach implemented in other Intel
      drivers as much as possible for the sake of consistency across the
      drivers.
      
      Quick comment regarding igc_build_skb(): this patch doesn't touch it
      because the function is never called. It seems its support is
      incomplete/in progress. The function was added by commit 0507ef8a
      
      
      ("igc: Add transmit and receive fastpath and interrupt handlers") but
      ring_uses_build_skb() always return False since the IGC_RING_FLAG_RX_
      BUILD_SKB_ENABLED isn't set anywhere in the driver code.
      
      This patch has been tested with the sample app "xdp1" located in
      samples/bpf/ dir.
