      af_packet: TX_RING support for TPACKET_V3 · 7f953ab2
      Sowmini Varadhan 提交于
      Although TPACKET_V3 Rx has some benefits over TPACKET_V2 Rx, *_v3
      does not currently have TX_RING support. As a result an application
      that wants the best perf for Tx and Rx (e.g. to handle request/response
      transacations) ends up needing 2 sockets, one with *_v2 for Tx and
      another with *_v3 for Rx.
      
      This patch enables TPACKET_V2 compatible Tx features in TPACKET_V3
      so that an application can use a single descriptor to get the benefits
      of _v3 RX_RING and _v2 TX_RING. An application may do a block-send by
      first filling up multiple frames in the Tx ring and then triggering a
      transmit. This patch only support fixed size Tx frames for TPACKET_V3,
      and requires that tp_next_offset must be zero.
