Jason Xing 30ed05adca xsk: use a smaller new lock for shared pool case
- Split cq_lock into two smaller locks: cq_prod_lock and
  cq_cached_prod_lock
- Avoid disabling/enabling interrupts in the hot xmit path

In either xsk_cq_cancel_locked() or xsk_cq_reserve_locked() function,
the race condition is only between multiple xsks sharing the same
pool. They are all in the process context rather than interrupt context,
so now the small lock named cq_cached_prod_lock can be used without
handling interrupts.

While cq_cached_prod_lock ensures the exclusive modification of
@cached_prod, cq_prod_lock in xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked() only cares
about @producer and corresponding @desc. Both of them don't necessarily
be consistent with @cached_prod protected by cq_cached_prod_lock.
That's the reason why the previous big lock can be split into two
smaller ones. Please note that SPSC rule is all about the global state
of producer and consumer that can affect both layers instead of local
or cached ones.

Frequently disabling and enabling interrupt are very time consuming
in some cases, especially in a per-descriptor granularity, which now
can be avoided after this optimization, even when the pool is shared by
multiple xsks.

With this patch, the performance number[1] could go from 1,872,565 pps
to 1,961,009 pps. It's a minor rise of around 5%.

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.
