igb: add XDP support
Add XDP support to the IGB driver. The implementation follows the IXGBE XDP implementation closely and I used the following patches as basis: 1. commit 92470808 ("ixgbe: add XDP support for pass and drop actions") 2. commit 33fdc82f ("ixgbe: add support for XDP_TX action") 3. commit ed93a398 ("ixgbe: tweak page counting for XDP_REDIRECT") Due to the hardware constraints of the devices using the IGB driver we must share the TX queues with XDP which means locking the TX queue for XDP. I ran tests on an older device to get better numbers. Test machine: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2338 @ 1.74GHz (2 Cores) 2x Intel I211 Routing Original Driver Network Stack: 382 Kpps Routing XDP Redirect (xdp_fwd_kern): 1.48 Mpps XDP Drop: 1.48 Mpps Using XDP we can achieve line rate forwarding even on an older Intel Atom CPU.
