    net/mlx4_en: Poll XDP TX completion queue in RX NAPI · 6c78511b
    Tariq Toukan authored
    Instead of having their own NAPIs, XDP TX completion queues get
    polled within the corresponding RX NAPI.
    This prevents any possible race on TX ring prod/cons indices,
    between the context that issues the transmits (RX NAPI) and the
    context that handles the completions (was previously done in
    a separate NAPI).
    
    This also improves performance, as it decreases the number
    of NAPIs running on a CPU, saving the overhead of syncing
    and switching between the contexts.
    
    Performance tests:
    Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
    Single queue no-RSS optimization ON.
    
    XDP_TX packet rate:
    -------------------------------------
         | Before    | After     | Gain |
    IPv4 | 12.0 Mpps | 13.8 Mpps |  15% |
    IPv6 | 12.0 Mpps | 13.8 Mpps |  15% |
