When sending an xdp_frame through xdp_do_redirect call, then error cases can happen where the xdp_frame needs to be dropped, and returning an -errno code isn't sufficient/possible any-longer (e.g. for cpumap case). This is already fully supported, by simply calling xdp_return_frame. This patch is an optimization, which provides xdp_return_frame_rx_napi, which is a faster variant for these error cases. It take advantage of the protection provided by XDP RX running under NAPI protection. This change is mostly relevant for drivers using the page_pool allocator as it can take advantage of this.

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.
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.
