[net-next,v4,00/15] virtio_net: refactor xdp codes

Message

Xuan Zhuo April 27, 2023, 3:05 a.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.

v2:
    1. re-split to make review more convenient

v1:
    1. fix some variables are uninitialized



Xuan Zhuo (15):
  virtio_net: mergeable xdp: put old page immediately
  virtio_net: introduce mergeable_xdp_get_buf()
  virtio_net: optimize mergeable_xdp_get_buf()
  virtio_net: introduce virtnet_xdp_handler() to seprate the logic of
    run xdp
  virtio_net: separate the logic of freeing xdp shinfo
  virtio_net: separate the logic of freeing the rest mergeable buf
  virtio_net: virtnet_build_xdp_buff_mrg() auto release xdp shinfo
  virtio_net: introduce receive_mergeable_xdp()
  virtio_net: merge: remove skip_xdp
  virtio_net: introduce receive_small_xdp()
  virtio_net: small: remove the delta
  virtio_net: small: avoid double counting in xdp scenarios
  virtio_net: small: remove skip_xdp
  virtio_net: introduce receive_small_build_xdp
  virtio_net: introduce virtnet_build_skb()

## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.3 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations.
We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after May 8th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
