xdpxceiver run on a AF_XDP ZC enabled driver revealed a problem with XSK
Tx batching API. There is a test that checks how invalid Tx descriptors
are handled by AF_XDP. Each valid descriptor is followed by invalid one
on Tx side whereas the Rx side expects only to receive a set of valid
descriptors.
In current xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() function, the amount of
available descriptors is hidden inside xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch(). This
can be problematic in cases where invalid descriptors are present due to
the fact that xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() returns only a count of valid
descriptors. This means that it is impossible to properly update XSK
ring state when calling xskq_cons_release_n().
To address this issue, pull out the contents of
xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() so that callers (currently only
xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch()) will always be able to update the
state of ring properly, as total count of entries is now available and
use this value as an argument in xskq_cons_release_n(). By
doing so, xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() can be dropped altogether.

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 Restructured Text 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.
