    ice: Check UMEM FQ size when allocating bufs · 3f0d97cd
    Krzysztof Kazimierczak authored
    If a UMEM is present on a queue when an interface/queue pair is being
    enabled, the driver will try to prepare the Rx buffers in advance to
    improve performance. However, if fill queue is shorter than HW Rx ring,
    the driver will report failure after getting the last address from the
    fill queue.
    
    This still lets the driver process the packets correctly during the NAPI
    poll, but leads to a constant NAPI rescheduling. Not allocating the
    buffers in advance would result in a potential performance decrease.
    
    Commit d57d7642 ("xsk: Add API to check for available entries in FQ")
    provides an API that lets drivers check the number of addresses that the
    fill queue holds.
    
    Notify the user if fill queue is not long enough to prepare all buffers
    before packet processing starts, and allocate the buffers during the
    NAPI poll. If the fill queue size is sufficient, prepare Rx buffers in
    advance.
