Jesper Dangaard Brouer d628ee4fef mlx5: Rx queue setup time determine frame_sz for XDP
The mlx5 driver have multiple memory models, which are also changed
according to whether a XDP bpf_prog is attached.

The 'rx_striding_rq' setting is adjusted via ethtool priv-flags e.g.:
 # ethtool --set-priv-flags mlx5p2 rx_striding_rq off

On the general case with 4K page_size and regular MTU packet, then
the frame_sz is 2048 and 4096 when XDP is enabled, in both modes.

The info on the given frame size is stored differently depending on the
RQ-mode and encoded in a union in struct mlx5e_rq union wqe/mpwqe.
In rx striding mode rq->mpwqe.log_stride_sz is either 11 or 12, which
corresponds to 2048 or 4096 (MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ).
In non-striding mode (MLX5_WQ_TYPE_CYCLIC) the frag_stride is stored
in rq->wqe.info.arr[0].frag_stride, for the first fragment, which is
what the XDP case cares about.

To reduce effect on fast-path, this patch determine the frame_sz at
setup time, to avoid determining the memory model runtime. Variable
is named frame0_sz to make it clear that this is only the frame
size of the first fragment.

This mlx5 driver does a DMA-sync on XDP_TX action, but grow is safe
as it have done a DMA-map on the entire PAGE_SIZE. The driver also
already does a XDP length check against sq->hw_mtu on the possible
XDP xmit paths mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame() + mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame_mpwqe().

V3+4: Change variable name first_frame_sz to frame0_sz

V2: Fix that frag_size need to be recalc before creating SKB.

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.
