This patch implements the ndo_xdp_xmit() net_device function which is
called when a packet is redirected to this driver using an
XDP_REDIRECT directive.

The function receives an array of xdp frames that it needs to xmit.
The TX queues that are used to xmit these frames are the XDP
queues used by the XDP_TX flow. Therefore a lock is added to synchronize
both flows (XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT).

I have a feeling that we are not consistent with this locking approach as
some drivers do that and some don't.


Not sure what you mean here, ENA driver uses a lock for XDP xmit function because XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT flows share the same egress queues. This is a design choice that was taken. Some drivers (e.g. mlx5) seem to have separate queues for regular TX, XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT and RX flows, and saw are able to avoid locking.

Have you thought of ringing the doorbell once per a batch of xmitted
frames?


For XDP_REDIRECT the packets are indeed batched before sending a doorbell. XDP_TX flow would be added the same improvement in future patchset.
Thanks for this idea (:

Once again you don't check retval over here.


ena_xdp_xmit_frame() function handles failure internally (reducing the ref-count of the RX page, increasing error stat etc.) therefore there is no need for special handling of its failure. For XDP Redirect flow ena_xdp_xmit() function returns the kernel the number of packets that were successfully sent, and so it needs to monitor the return value of this function.
This is not the case here though.
