====================
mlx5 xsk updates part3 2022-09-30

The gist of this 4 part series is in this patchset's last patch

This series contains performance optimizations. XSK starts using the
batching allocator, and XSK data path gets separated from the regular
RX, allowing to drop some branches not relevant for non-XSK use cases.
Some minor optimizations for indirect calls and need_wakeup are also
included.

Other than that, this series adds a few features to the mlx5e
implementation of XSK:

1. XDP metadata support on XSK RQs.

2. RSS contexts support for XSK RQs.

3. Some other optimizations

4. Last but not least, change the queuing scheme, so that XSK RQs no longer
use higher indices, but replace the regular RQs.

==========

In the initial implementation of XSK in mlx5e, XSK RQs coexisted with
regular RQs in the same channel. The main idea was to allow RSS work the
same for regular traffic, without need to reconfigure RSS to exclude XSK
queues.

However, this scheme didn't prove to be beneficial, mainly because of
incompatibility with other vendors. Some tools don't properly support
using higher indices for XSK queues, some tools get confused with the
double amount of RQs exposed in sysfs. Some use cases are purely XSK,
and allocating the same amount of unused regular RQs is a waste of
resources.

This commit changes the queuing scheme to the standard one, where XSK
RQs replace regular RQs on the channels where XSK sockets are open. Two
RQs still exist in the channel to allow failsafe disable of XSK, but
only one is exposed at a time. The next commit will achieve the desired
memory save by flushing the buffers when the regular RQ is unused.

As the result of this transition:

1. It's possible to use RSS contexts over XSK RQs.

2. It's possible to dedicate all queues to XSK.

3. When XSK RQs coexist with regular RQs, the admin should make sure no
unwanted traffic goes into XSK RQs by either excluding them from RSS or
settings up the XDP program to return XDP_PASS for non-XSK traffic.

4. When using a mixed fleet of mlx5e devices and other netdevs, the same
configuration can be applied. If the application supports the fallback
to copy mode on unsupported drivers, it will work too.

Part 4 will include some final xsk optimizations and minor improvements
