> This series adds XDP support in mlx5e driver. > This includes the use cases: XDP_DROP, XDP_PASS, and XDP_TX. > > Single stream performance tests show 16.5 Mpps for XDP_DROP, > and 12.4 Mpps for XDP_TX, with nice scalability for multiple streams/rings. > > This rate of XDP_DROP is lower than the 32 Mpps we got in previous > implementation, when Striding RQ was used. > > We moved to non-Striding RQ, as some XDP_TX requirements (like headroom, > packet-per-page) cannot be satisfied with the current Striding RQ HW, > and we decided to fully support both DROP/TX. > > Few directions are considered in order to enable the faster rate for XDP_DROP, > e.g a possibility for users to enable Striding RQ so they choose optimized > XDP_DROP on the price of partial XDP_TX functionality, or some HW changes. > > Series generated against net-next commit: > cf714ac147e0 'ipvlan: Fix dependency issue' Series applied, thanks.
