[PATCH v4 net-next 0/5] xdp: introduce bulking for page_pool tx return path

[Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>]

XDP bulk APIs introduce a defer/flush mechanism to return
pages belonging to the same xdp_mem_allocator object
(identified via the mem.id field) in bulk to optimize
I-cache and D-cache since xdp_return_frame is usually run
inside the driver NAPI tx completion loop.
Convert mvneta, mvpp2 and mlx5 drivers to xdp_return_frame_bulk APIs.

Changes since v3:
- align DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE to XDP_BULK_QUEUE_SIZE
- refactor page_pool_put_page_bulk to avoid code duplication

Changes since v2:
- move mvneta changes in a dedicated patch

Changes since v1:
- improve comments
- rework xdp_return_frame_bulk routine logic
- move count and xa fields at the beginning of xdp_frame_bulk struct
- invert logic in page_pool_put_page_bulk for loop
