When XDP Tx queues are not interrupt-driven but use lazy cleaning, i.e. only when there are less than `threshold` free descriptors left, we also need cleanup timers to avoid &xdp_buff and &xdp_frame stall for too long, especially with Page Pool (it warns every about inflight pages every 60 second). Let's say we sent 256 frames and don't need to send more, but we clean only when the number of pending items >= 384. In that case, those 256 will stall until 128 more are sent. For this, add simple helpers to run a timer which will clean the queue regardless, after 1 second of the last send. The timer is triggered when finalizing the queue. As long as there is regular active traffic, the timer doesn't fire.

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 reStructuredText 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.
