Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. Instead of using the IDR infrastructure, which uses a radix tree, use a dynamic rhashtable, for creating ID to pointer lookup table, because this is faster. The problem that is being solved here is that, the xdp_rxq_info pointer (stored in xdp_buff) cannot be used directly, as the guaranteed lifetime is too short. The info is needed on a (potentially) remote CPU during DMA-TX completion time . In an xdp_frame the xdp_mem_info is stored, when it got converted from an xdp_buff, which is sufficient for the simple page refcnt based recycle schemes. For more advanced allocators there is a need to store a pointer to the registered allocator. Thus, there is a need to guard the lifetime or validity of the allocator pointer, which is done through this rhashtable ID map to pointer. The removal and validity of of the allocator and helper struct xdp_mem_allocator is guarded by RCU. The allocator will be created by the driver, and registered with xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model(). It is up-to debate who is responsible for freeing the allocator pointer or invoking the allocator destructor function. In any case, this must happen via RCU freeing. Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. V4: Per req of Jason Wang - Use xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() in all drivers implementing XDP_REDIRECT, even-though it's not strictly necessary when allocator==NULL for type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED (given it's zero). V6: Per req of Alex Duyck - Introduce rhashtable_lookup() call in later patch V8: Address sparse should be static warnings (from kbuild test robot) Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
