[PATCH bpf-next] xsk: update rings for load-acquire/store-release semantics

From: Björn Töpel <hidden>
Date: 2020-01-20 09:22:16
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest, xdp sockets (af_xdp) · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Magnus Karlsson, Maciej Fijalkowski

From: Björn Töpel <redacted>

Currently, the AF_XDP rings uses fences for the kernel-side
produce/consume functions. By updating rings for
load-acquire/store-release semantics, the full barrier (smp_mb()) on
the consumer side can be replaced.
