Jason Wang 761876c857 tap: XDP support
This patch tries to implement XDP for tun. The implementation was
split into two parts:

- fast path: small and no gso packet. We try to do XDP at page level
  before build_skb(). For XDP_TX, since creating/destroying queues
  were completely under control of userspace, it was implemented
  through generic XDP helper after skb has been built. This could be
  optimized in the future.
- slow path: big or gso packet. We try to do it after skb was created
  through generic XDP helpers.

Test were done through pktgen with small packets.

xdp1 test shows ~41.1% improvement:

Before: ~1.7Mpps
After:  ~2.3Mpps

xdp_redirect to ixgbe shows ~60% improvement:

Before: ~0.8Mpps
After:  ~1.38Mpps

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
