When the driver clears the XDP xmit ring due to re-configuration or teardown, in-progress ndo_xdp_xmit must be taken into consideration. The ndo_xdp_xmit function is typically called from a NAPI context that the driver does not control. Therefore, we must be careful not to clear the XDP ring, while the call is on-going. This patch adds a synchronize_rcu() to wait for napi(s) (preempt-disable regions and softirqs), prior clearing the queue. Further, the __I40E_CONFIG_BUSY flag is checked in the ndo_xdp_xmit implementation to avoid touching the XDP xmit queue during re-configuration.

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.
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.
