Alexander Lobakin 23d9324a27 xsk: add helper to get &xdp_desc's DMA and meta pointer in one go
Currently, when your driver supports XSk Tx metadata and you want to
send an XSk frame, you need to do the following:

* call external xsk_buff_raw_get_dma();
* call inline xsk_buff_get_metadata(), which calls external
  xsk_buff_raw_get_data() and then do some inline checks.

This effectively means that the following piece:

addr = pool->unaligned ? xp_unaligned_add_offset_to_addr(addr) : addr;

is done twice per frame, plus you have 2 external calls per frame, plus
this:

	meta = pool->addrs + addr - pool->tx_metadata_len;
	if (unlikely(!xsk_buff_valid_tx_metadata(meta)))

is always inlined, even if there's no meta or it's invalid.

Add xsk_buff_raw_get_ctx() (xp_raw_get_ctx() to be precise) to do that
in one go. It returns a small structure with 2 fields: DMA address,
filled unconditionally, and metadata pointer, non-NULL only if it's
present and valid. The address correction is performed only once and
you also have only 1 external call per XSk frame, which does all the
calculations and checks outside of your hotpath. You only need to
check `if (ctx.meta)` for the metadata presence.
To not copy any existing code, derive address correction and getting
virtual and DMA address into small helpers. bloat-o-meter reports no
object code changes for the existing functionality.

README

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.
