Maxim Mikityanskiy fe45386a20 net/mlx5e: Use RCU to protect rq->xdp_prog 
Currently, the RQs are temporarily deactivated while hot-replacing the
XDP program, and napi_synchronize is used to make sure rq->xdp_prog is
not in use. However, napi_synchronize is not ideal: instead of waiting
till the end of a NAPI cycle, it polls and waits until NAPI is not
running, sleeping for 1ms between the periodic checks. Under heavy
workloads, this loop will never end, which may even lead to a kernel
panic if the kernel detects the hangup. Such workloads include XSK TX
and possibly also heavy RX (XSK or normal).

The fix is inspired by commit 326fe02d1e ("net/mlx4_en: protect
ring->xdp_prog with rcu_read_lock"). As mlx5e_xdp_handle is already
protected by rcu_read_lock, and bpf_prog_put uses call_rcu to free the
program, there is no need for additional synchronization if proper RCU
functions are used to access the pointer. This patch converts all
accesses to rq->xdp_prog to use RCU functions.

Fixes: 86994156c7 ("net/mlx5e: XDP fast RX drop bpf programs support")
Fixes: db05815b36 ("net/mlx5e: Add XSK zero-copy support")

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 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.
