We want to change the current ndo_xdp_xmit drop semantics because
it will allow us to implement better queue overflow handling.
This is working towards the larger goal of a XDP TX queue-hook.
Move XDP_REDIRECT error path handling from each XDP ethernet driver to
devmap code. According to the new APIs, the driver running the
ndo_xdp_xmit pointer, will break tx loop whenever the hw reports a tx
error and it will just return to devmap caller the number of successfully
transmitted frames. It will be devmap responsability to free dropped
frames.
Move each XDP ndo_xdp_xmit capable driver to the new APIs:
- veth
- virtio-net
- mvneta
- mvpp2
- socionext
- amazon ena
- bnxt
- freescale (dpaa2, dpaa)
- xen-frontend
- qede
- ice
- igb
- ixgbe
- i40e
- mlx5
- ti (cpsw, cpsw-new)
- tun
- sfc
