[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/af_xdp: fix zero copy Tx queue drain

[Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>]

Call xsk_ring_prod__submit() before kick_tx() so that the kernel
consumer sees the updated state of Tx ring. Otherwise, Tx packets are
stuck in the ring until the next call to af_xdp_tx_zc().

Fixes: d8a210774e1d ("net/af_xdp: support unaligned umem chunks")

v2:

  Don't call xsk_ring_prod__submit() when kick_tx() is only used to
  drain the completion queue (Ciara Loftus)
