    xsk: Fix handling of invalid descriptors in XSK TX batching API · d678cbd2
    Maciej Fijalkowski authored
    xdpxceiver run on a AF_XDP ZC enabled driver revealed a problem with XSK
    Tx batching API. There is a test that checks how invalid Tx descriptors
    are handled by AF_XDP. Each valid descriptor is followed by invalid one
    on Tx side whereas the Rx side expects only to receive a set of valid
    descriptors.
    
    In current xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() function, the amount of
    available descriptors is hidden inside xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch(). This
    can be problematic in cases where invalid descriptors are present due to
    the fact that xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() returns only a count of valid
    descriptors. This means that it is impossible to properly update XSK
    ring state when calling xskq_cons_release_n().
    
    To address this issue, pull out the contents of
    xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() so that callers (currently only
    xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch()) will always be able to update the
    state of ring properly, as total count of entries is now available and
    use this value as an argument in xskq_cons_release_n(). By
    doing so, xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() can be dropped altogether.
