[net-next,0/8] virtio_net: refactor xdp codes

Message

Xuan Zhuo March 28, 2023, 12:04 p.m. UTC

Due to historical reasons, the implementation of XDP in virtio-net is relatively
chaotic. For example, the processing of XDP actions has two copies of similar
code. Such as page, xdp_page processing, etc.

The purpose of this patch set is to refactor these code. Reduce the difficulty
of subsequent maintenance. Subsequent developers will not introduce new bugs
because of some complex logical relationships.

In addition, the supporting to AF_XDP that I want to submit later will also need
to reuse the logic of XDP, such as the processing of actions, I don't want to
introduce a new similar code. In this way, I can reuse these codes in the
future.

Please review.

Thanks.
