Merge branch 'bpf-af-xdp-mlx5e'

Tariq Toukan says:

====================
This series contains improvements to the AF_XDP kernel infrastructure
and AF_XDP support in mlx5e. The infrastructure improvements are
required for mlx5e, but also some of them benefit to all drivers, and
some can be useful for other drivers that want to implement AF_XDP.

The performance testing was performed on a machine with the following
configuration:

- 24 cores of Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40 GHz
- Mellanox ConnectX-5 Ex with 100 Gbit/s link

The results with retpoline disabled, single stream:

txonly: 33.3 Mpps (21.5 Mpps with queue and app pinned to the same CPU)
rxdrop: 12.2 Mpps
l2fwd: 9.4 Mpps

The results with retpoline enabled, single stream:

txonly: 21.3 Mpps (14.1 Mpps with queue and app pinned to the same CPU)
rxdrop: 9.9 Mpps
l2fwd: 6.8 Mpps

v2 changes:

Added patches for mlx5e and addressed the comments for v1. Rebased for
bpf-next.

v3 changes:

Rebased for the newer bpf-next, resolved conflicts in libbpf. Addressed
Björn's comments for coding style. Fixed a bug in error handling flow in
mlx5e_open_xsk.

v4 changes:

UAPI is not changed, XSK RX queues are exposed to the kernel. The lower
half of the available amount of RX queues are regular queues, and the
upper half are XSK RX queues. The patch "xsk: Extend channels to support
combined XSK/non-XSK traffic" was dropped. The final patch was reworked
accordingly.

Added "net/mlx5e: Attach/detach XDP program safely", as the changes
introduced in the XSK patch base on the stuff from this one.

Added "libbpf: Support drivers with non-combined channels", which aligns
the condition in libbpf with the condition in the kernel.

Rebased over the newer bpf-next.

v5 changes:

In v4, ethtool reports the number of channels as 'combined' and the
number of XSK RX queues as 'rx' for mlx5e. It was changed, so that 'rx'
is 0, and 'combined' reports the double amount of channels if there is
an active UMEM - to make libbpf happy.

The patch for libbpf was dropped. Although it's still useful and fixes
things, it raises some disagreement, so I'm dropping it - it's no longer
useful for mlx5e anymore after the change above.

v6 changes:

As Maxim is out of office, I rebased the series on behalf of him,
solved some conflicts, and re-spinned.
