When using devmap to redirect packets between interfaces, xdp_do_flush() is usually a must to flush any batched packets. Unfortunately this is missed in current tuntap implementation. Unlike most hardware driver which did XDP inside NAPI loop and call xdp_do_flush() at then end of each round of poll. TAP did it in the context of process e.g tun_get_user(). So fix this by count the pending redirected packets and flush when it exceeds NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT or MSG_MORE was cleared by sendmsg() caller. With this fix, xdp_redirect_map works again between two TAPs. Fixes: 761876c857cb ("tap: XDP support") Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
