The first couple of patches adds helper funcctions to prepare for AF_XDP
zero-copy support which comes in the last couple of patches, one each
for Rx and TX paths.

As mentioned in v1 patchset [0], I don't have access to an actual IGB
device to provide correct performance numbers. I have used Intel 82576EB
emulator in QEMU [1] to test the changes to IGB driver.

The tests use one isolated vCPU for RX/TX and one isolated vCPU for the
xdp-sock application [2]. Hope these measurements provide at the least
some indication on the increase in performance when using ZC, especially
in the TX path. It would be awesome if someone with a real IGB NIC can
test the patch.
 
AF_XDP performance using 64 byte packets in Kpps.
Benchmark:	XDP-SKB		XDP-DRV		XDP-DRV(ZC)
rxdrop		220		235		350
txpush		1.000		1.000		410
l2fwd 		1.000		1.000		200

AF_XDP performance using 1500 byte packets in Kpps.
Benchmark:	XDP-SKB		XDP-DRV		XDP-DRV(ZC)
rxdrop		200		210		310
txpush		1.000		1.000		410
l2fwd 		0.900		1.000		160

v2->v3:
- Avoid TX unit hang when using AF_XDP zero-copy by setting time_stamp
  on the tx_buffer_info
- Fix uninitialized nb_buffs (Simon Horman)

v1->v2:
- Use batch XSK APIs (Maciej Fijalkowski)
- Follow reverse xmas tree convention and remove the ternary operator
  use (Simon Horman)


Sriram Yagnaraman (4):
  igb: prepare for AF_XDP zero-copy support
  igb: Introduce XSK data structures and helpers
  igb: add AF_XDP zero-copy Rx support
  igb: add AF_XDP zero-copy Tx support
