When the action of an xdp program was XDP_TX, lan966x was creating
a xdp_frame and use this one to send the frame back. But it is also
possible to send back the frame without needing a xdp_frame, because
it is possible to send it back using the page.
And then once the frame is transmitted is possible to use directly
page_pool_recycle_direct as lan966x is using page pools.
This would save some CPU usage on this path, which results in higher
number of transmitted frames. Bellow are the statistics:
Frame size: Improvement:
64 ~8%
256 ~11%
512 ~8%
1000 ~0%
1500 ~0%
