Like cpumap teardown, the devmap teardown code also flush remaining
xdp_frames, via bq_xmit_all() in case map entry is removed.  The code
can call xdp_return_frame_rx_napi, from the the wrong context, in-case
ndo_xdp_xmit() fails.

Otherwise we end up with attempting to send packets from down devices
or to send oversized packets, which may cause unexpected driver/device
behaviour. Generic XDP has already done this check, so reuse the logic
in native XDP.

Commit 67f29e07e131 ("bpf: devmap introduce dev_map_enqueue") changed
the return value type of __devmap_lookup_elem() from struct net_device *
to struct bpf_dtab_netdev * but forgot to modify generic XDP code
accordingly.

Thus generic XDP incorrectly used struct bpf_dtab_netdev where struct
net_device is expected, then skb-&gt;dev was set to invalid value.

v2:
- Fix compiler warning without CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL.

The XDP_REDIRECT map devmap can avoid using ndo_xdp_flush, by instead
instructing ndo_xdp_xmit to flush via XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag in
appropriate places.

Notice after this patch it is possible to remove ndo_xdp_flush
completely, as this is the last user of ndo_xdp_flush. This is left
for later patches, to keep driver changes separate.

This patch only change the API and reject any use of flags. This is an
intermediate step that allows us to implement the flush flag operation
later, for each individual driver in a separate patch.

The plan is to implement flush operation via XDP_XMIT_FLUSH flag
and then remove XDP_XMIT_FLAGS_NONE when done.

<content type='text'>
This patch change the API for ndo_xdp_xmit to support bulking
xdp_frames.

When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, XDP sees a huge slowdown.
Most of the slowdown is caused by DMA API indirect function calls, but
also the net_device-&gt;ndo_xdp_xmit() call.

Benchmarked patch with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, using xdp_redirect_map with
single flow/core test (CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz), showed
performance improved:
 for driver ixgbe: 6,042,682 pps -&gt; 6,853,768 pps = +811,086 pps
 for driver i40e : 6,187,169 pps -&gt; 6,724,519 pps = +537,350 pps

With frames avail as a bulk inside the driver ndo_xdp_xmit call,
further optimizations are possible, like bulk DMA-mapping for TX.

Testing without CONFIG_RETPOLINE show the same performance for
physical NIC drivers.

The virtual NIC driver tun sees a huge performance boost, as it can
avoid doing per frame producer locking, but instead amortize the
locking cost over the bulk.

V2: Fix compile errors reported by kbuild test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;
V4: Isolated ndo, driver changes and callers.

When sending an xdp_frame through xdp_do_redirect call, then error
cases can happen where the xdp_frame needs to be dropped, and
returning an -errno code isn't sufficient/possible any-longer
(e.g. for cpumap case). This is already fully supported, by simply
calling xdp_return_frame.

This patch is an optimization, which provides xdp_return_frame_rx_napi,
which is a faster variant for these error cases.  It take advantage of
the protection provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection.

This change is mostly relevant for drivers using the page_pool
allocator as it can take advantage of this. (Tested with mlx5).

Notice how this allow us get XDP statistic without affecting the XDP
performance, as tracepoint is no-longer activated on a per packet basis.

V5: Spotted by John Fastabend.
 Fix 'sent' also counted 'drops' in this patch, a later patch corrected
 this, but it was a mistake in this intermediate step.
