    hv_netvsc: Add XDP support · 351e1581
    Haiyang Zhang authored
    This patch adds support of XDP in native mode for hv_netvsc driver, and
    transparently sets the XDP program on the associated VF NIC as well.
    
    Setting / unsetting XDP program on synthetic NIC (netvsc) propagates to
    VF NIC automatically. Setting / unsetting XDP program on VF NIC directly
    is not recommended, also not propagated to synthetic NIC, and may be
    overwritten by setting of synthetic NIC.
    
    The Azure/Hyper-V synthetic NIC receive buffer doesn't provide headroom
    for XDP. We thought about re-use the RNDIS header space, but it's too
    small. So we decided to copy the packets to a page buffer for XDP. And,
    most of our VMs on Azure have Accelerated  Network (SRIOV) enabled, so
    most of the packets run on VF NIC. The synthetic NIC is considered as a
    fallback data-path. So the data copy on netvsc won't impact performance
    significantly.
    
    XDP program cannot run with LRO (RSC) enabled, so you need to disable LRO
    before running XDP:
            ethtool -K eth0 lro off
    
    XDP actions not yet supported:
            XDP_REDIRECT
