xdp: introduce xdp_return_frame_rx_napi
When sending an xdp_frame through xdp_do_redirect call, then error cases can happen where the xdp_frame needs to be dropped, and returning an -errno code isn't sufficient/possible any-longer (e.g. for cpumap case). This is already fully supported, by simply calling xdp_return_frame. This patch is an optimization, which provides xdp_return_frame_rx_napi, which is a faster variant for these error cases. It take advantage of the protection provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection. This change is mostly relevant for drivers using the page_pool allocator as it can take advantage of this. (Tested with mlx5). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
