This small series improves AF_XDP performance for the i40e NIC. The
first patch optimizes the Tx completion path for AF_XDP. The second
one removes a division in the data path for the normal SKB path, XDP
as well as AF_XDP. Finally, the third one moves the test of a full Tx
ring to outside the send loop. Overall, the throughput of the l2fwd
application in xpdsock improves with around 8% on my machine.
v1->v2:
* Removed unnecessary variables in i40e_clean_xdp_tx_irq [Sridhar]
* Added one further optimization to Tx path in a new patch [Sridhar]
* Fixed two API documentation warnings with make W=1
This patch has been applied against commit 8af7b4525acf ("Merge branch
'net-atlantic-additional-A2-features'")
