[PATCH 6.12 034/117] net/mlx5e: Reuse per-RQ XDP buffer to avoid stack zeroing overhead

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit b66b76a82c8879d764ab89adc21ee855ffd292d5 ]

CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO introduces a performance cost by
zero-initializing all stack variables on function entry. The mlx5 XDP
RX path previously allocated a struct mlx5e_xdp_buff on the stack per
received CQE, resulting in measurable performance degradation under
this config.

This patch reuses a mlx5e_xdp_buff stored in the mlx5e_rq struct,
avoiding per-CQE stack allocations and repeated zeroing.

With this change, XDP_DROP and XDP_TX performance matches that of
kernels built without CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO.

Performance was measured on a ConnectX-6Dx using a single RX channel
(1 CPU at 100% usage) at ~50 Mpps. The baseline results were taken from
net-next-6.15.

Stack zeroing disabled:
- XDP_DROP:
    * baseline:                     31.47 Mpps
    * baseline + per-RQ allocation: 32.31 Mpps (+2.68%)

- XDP_TX:
    * baseline:                     12.41 Mpps
    * baseline + per-RQ allocation: 12.95 Mpps (+4.30%)

Stack zeroing enabled:
- XDP_DROP:
    * baseline:                     24.32 Mpps
    * baseline + per-RQ allocation: 32.27 Mpps (+32.7%)

- XDP_TX:
    * baseline:                     11.80 Mpps
    * baseline + per-RQ allocation: 12.24 Mpps (+3.72%)
