Jason Wang fc72d1d54d tuntap: XDP transmission
This patch implements XDP transmission for TAP. Since we can't create
new queues for TAP during XDP set, exist ptr_ring was reused for
queuing XDP buffers. To differ xdp_buff from sk_buff, TUN_XDP_FLAG
(0x1UL) was encoded into lowest bit of xpd_buff pointer during
ptr_ring_produce, and was decoded during consuming. XDP metadata was
stored in the headroom of the packet which should work in most of
cases since driver usually reserve enough headroom. Very minor changes
were done for vhost_net: it just need to peek the length depends on
the type of pointer.

Tests were done on two Intel E5-2630 2.40GHz machines connected back
to back through two 82599ES. Traffic were generated/received through
MoonGen/testpmd(rxonly). It reports ~20% improvements when
xdp_redirect_map is doing redirection from ixgbe to TAP (from 2.50Mpps
to 3.05Mpps)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
