[PATCH v6 bpf-next 6/6] xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit)

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Tue Feb 16 2021 - 12:31:08 EST


From: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is used to construct skb based on page to save memory copy
overhead.

This function is implemented based on IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR. Only the
network card priv_flags supports IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR will use page to
directly construct skb. If this feature is not supported, it is still
necessary to copy data to construct skb.

---------------- Performance Testing ------------

The test environment is Aliyun ECS server.
Test cmd:
```
xdpsock -i eth0 -t -S -s <msg size>
```

Test result data:

size 64 512 1024 1500
copy 1916747 1775988 1600203 1440054
page 1974058 1953655 1945463 1904478
percent 3.0% 10.0% 21.58% 32.3%

[ alobakin:
- expand subject to make it clearer;
- improve skb->truesize calculation;
- reserve some headroom in skb for drivers;
- tailroom is not needed as skb is non-linear ]
