Our home-grown buffer management needs to go away and we need to play
nicely with the page_pool infrastructure.  This patchset cleans up some
of our API use and converts the Rx traffic queues to use page_pool.
The first few patches are for tidying up things before the last patch
which does the actual conversion.

The result is code that more closely follows current patterns, as well as
a either a performance boost or equivalent performance as seen with
iperf testing:

  mss   netio    tx_pps      rx_pps      total_pps      tx_bw    rx_bw    total_bw

v2:
 - split out prep work into separate patches
 - reworked to always use rxq_info structs
 - be sure we're in NAPI when calling xdp_return_frame_rx_napi()
 - fixed up issues with buffer size and lifetime management

v1/RFC:
 - Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/

Shannon Nelson (5):
  ionic: debug line for Tx completion errors
  ionic: rename ionic_xdp_rx_put_bufs
  ionic: use per-queue xdp_prog
  ionic: always use rxq_info
  ionic: convert Rx queue buffers to use page_pool
