Alexei Starovoitov 0d2ec5b51d Merge branch 'share-umem'
Magnus Karlsson says:

====================
This patch set extends libbpf and the xdpsock sample program to
demonstrate the shared umem mode (XDP_SHARED_UMEM) as well as Rx-only
and Tx-only sockets. This in order for users to have an example to use
as a blue print and also so that these modes will be exercised more
frequently.

Note that the user needs to supply an XDP program with the
XDP_SHARED_UMEM mode that distributes the packets over the sockets
according to some policy. There is an example supplied with the
xdpsock program, but there is no default one in libbpf similarly to
when XDP_SHARED_UMEM is not used. The reason for this is that I felt
that supplying one that would work for all users in this mode is
futile. There are just tons of ways to distribute packets, so whatever
I come up with and build into libbpf would be wrong in most cases.

This patch has been applied against commit 30ee348c12 ("Merge branch 'bpf-libbpf-fixes'")

Structure of the patch set:

Patch 1: Adds shared umem support to libbpf
Patch 2: Shared umem support and example XPD program added to xdpsock sample
Patch 3: Adds Rx-only and Tx-only support to libbpf
Patch 4: Uses Rx-only sockets for rxdrop and Tx-only sockets for txpush in
         the xdpsock sample
Patch 5: Add documentation entries for these two features

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.
