For afxdp, the return value of sendto() syscall doesn't reflect how many
descs handled in the kernel. One of use cases is that when user-space
application tries to know the number of transmitted skbs and then decides
if it continues to send, say, is it stopped due to max tx budget?
The following formular can be used after sending to learn how many
skbs/descs the kernel takes care of:
tx_queue.consumers_before - tx_queue.consumers_after
Prior to the current patch, in non-zc mode, the consumer of tx queue is
not immediately updated at the end of each sendto syscall when error
occurs, which leads to the consumer value out-of-dated from the perspective
of user space. So this patch requires store operation to pass the cached
value to the shared value to handle the problem.
More than those explicit errors appearing in the while() loop in
__xsk_generic_xmit(), there are a few possible error cases that might
be neglected in the following call trace:
__xsk_generic_xmit()
xskq_cons_peek_desc()
xskq_cons_read_desc()
xskq_cons_is_valid_desc()
It will also cause the premature exit in the while() loop even if not
all the descs are consumed.
Based on the above analysis, using @sent_frame could cover all the possible
cases where it might lead to out-of-dated global state of consumer after
finishing __xsk_generic_xmit().
The patch also adds a common helper __xsk_tx_release() to keep align
with the zc mode usage in xsk_tx_release().
