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
