      xsk: Consolidate to one single cached producer pointer · d7012f05
      Magnus Karlsson authored 
      Currently, the xsk ring code has two cached producer pointers:
prod_head and prod_tail. This patch consolidates these two into a
single one called cached_prod to make the code simpler and easier to
maintain. This will be in line with the user space part of the the
code found in libbpf, that only uses a single cached pointer.

The Rx path only uses the two top level functions
xskq_produce_batch_desc and xskq_produce_flush_desc and they both use
prod_head and never prod_tail. So just move them over to
cached_prod.

The Tx XDP_DRV path uses xskq_produce_addr_lazy and
xskq_produce_flush_addr_n and unnecessarily operates on both prod_tail
and prod_head, so move them over to just use cached_prod by skipping
the intermediate step of updating prod_tail.

The Tx path in XDP_SKB mode uses xskq_reserve_addr and
xskq_produce_addr. They currently use both cached pointers, but we can
operate on the global producer pointer in xskq_produce_addr since it
has to be updated anyway, thus eliminating the use of both cached
pointers. We can also remove the xskq_nb_free in xskq_produce_addr
since it is already called in xskq_reserve_addr. No need to do it
twice.

When there is only one cached producer pointer, we can also simplify
xskq_nb_free by removing one argument.

      xsk: Simplify detection of empty and full rings · 11cc2d21
      Magnus Karlsson authored 
      In order to set the correct return flags for poll, the xsk code has to
check if the Rx queue is empty and if the Tx queue is full. This code
was unnecessarily large and complex as it used the functions that are
used to update the local state from the global state (xskq_nb_free and
xskq_nb_avail). Since we are not doing this nor updating any data
dependent on this state, we can simplify the functions. Another
benefit from this is that we can also simplify the xskq_nb_free and
xskq_nb_avail functions in a later commit.

      xsk: Eliminate the lazy update threshold · 484b1653
      Magnus Karlsson authored 
      The lazy update threshold was introduced to keep the producer and
consumer some distance apart in the completion ring. This was
important in the beginning of the development of AF_XDP as the ring
format as that point in time was very sensitive to the producer and
consumer being on the same cache line. This is not the case
anymore as the current ring format does not degrade in any noticeable
way when this happens. Moreover, this threshold makes it impossible
to run the system with rings that have less than 128 entries.

So let us remove this threshold and just get one entry from the ring
as in all other functions. This will enable us to remove this function
in a later commit. Note that xskq_produce_addr_lazy followed by
xskq_produce_flush_addr_n are still not the same function as
xskq_produce_addr() as it operates on another cached pointer.
