    i40e: fix potential RX buffer starvation for AF_XDP · 14ffeb52
    Magnus Karlsson authored
    When the RX rings are created they are also populated with buffers
    so that packets can be received. Usually these are kernel buffers,
    but for AF_XDP in zero-copy mode, these are user-space buffers and
    in this case the application might not have sent down any buffers
    to the driver at this point. And if no buffers are allocated at ring
    creation time, no packets can be received and no interrupts will be
    generated so the NAPI poll function that allocates buffers to the
    rings will never get executed.
    
    To rectify this, we kick the NAPI context of any queue with an
    attached AF_XDP zero-copy socket in two places in the code. Once
    after an XDP program has loaded and once after the umem is registered.
    This take care of both cases: XDP program gets loaded first then AF_XDP
    socket is created, and the reverse, AF_XDP socket is created first,
    then XDP program is loaded.
