cover xdp: introduce bulking for page_pool tx return path

xdp_return_frame/xdp_return_frame_napi and page_pool_put_page are usually run inside the driver NAPI tx completion loop so it is possible batch them. Introduce bulking capability in xdp tx return path (XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT). Convert mvneta driver to xdp_return_frame_bulk APIs.

mvneta upstream code:
XDP_TX: ~296Kpps
XDP_REDIRECT: ~273Kpps

mvneta + xdp_return_frame_bulk APIs:
XDP_TX: ~303Kpps
XDP_REDIRECT: ~287Kpps

RFC 1/2 net: xdp: introduce bulking for xdp tx return path

Introduce bulking capability in xdp tx return path (XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT). xdp_return_frame and xdp_return_frame_napi are usually run inside the driver NAPI tx completion loop so it is possible batch them.
Current implementation considers only page_pool memory model. Convert mvneta driver to xdp_return_frame_bulk APIs.

Hmm, I don't think you can use 'napi' directly here.

You are circumventing check (buf->type == MVNETA_TYPE_XDP_TX), and will now also allow XDP_NDO (XDP_REDIRECT) to basically use xdp_return_frame_rx_napi().

ack, right. I will fix it.

RFC 2/2 net: page_pool: add bulk support for ptr_ring

In reply to Lorenzo Bianconi

Introduce the capability to batch page_pool ptr_ring refill since it is usually run inside the driver NAPI tx completion loop.
