I thought about getting "shared code" outside of the switch case, but I 
don't think it will look any better.

Given this label, we can change the goto position by re-ordering the 
cases, swapping between XDP_TX and default so that the XDP_TX is 
immediately followed by XDP_ABORTED and XDP_DROP, and won't need a goto 
operation.
Instead, it will be used in default case, which should not be reached 
anyway. This saves a jump for actual (error) cases.

Something like this:

act = bpf_prog_run_xdp(xdp_prog, &xdp);
switch (act) {
case XDP_PASS:
         break;
default:
         bpf_warn_invalid_xdp_action(act);
         goto xdp_drop;
case XDP_TX:
         if (!mlx4_en_xmit_frame(frags, dev,
                                 length, tx_index,
                                 &doorbell_pending))
                 goto consumed;
case XDP_ABORTED:
case XDP_DROP:
xdp_drop:
         if (mlx4_en_rx_recycle(ring, frags))
                 goto consumed;
         goto next;
}

But also this way is fine by me.
