The RFC patches add a new PMD driver for AF_XDP which is a proposed

https://lwn.net/Articles/745934/
This patchset is base on v18.02.
It also require a linux kernel that have below AF_XDP RFC patches be
applied.

There is no clean upstream target yet since kernel patch is still in
RFC stage, The purpose of the patchset is just for anyone that want to
eveluate af_xdp with DPDK application and get feedback for further
improvement.
To try with the new PMD
1. compile and install the kernel with above patches applied.
2. configure $LINUX_HEADER_DIR (dir of "make headers_install")
and $TOOLS_DIR (dir at <kernel_src>/tools) at driver/net/af_xdp/Makefile
before compile DPDK.
3. make sure libelf and libbpf is installed.
BTW, performance test shows our PMD can reach 94%~98% of the orignal benchmark
when share memory is enabled.
Hi:
Looks like zerocopy is not used in this series. Any plan to support
that? If not, what's the advantage compared to vhost-net + tap +
XDP_REDIRECT?
Have you measured l2fwd performance in this case? I believe the number
you refer here is rxdrop (XDP_DRV) which is 11.6Mpps.
Thanks
