xsk: move cq_cached_prod_lock to avoid touching a cacheline in sending path
We (Paolo and I) noticed that in the sending path touching an extra
cacheline due to cq_cached_prod_lock will impact the performance. After
moving the lock from struct xsk_buff_pool to struct xsk_queue, the
performance is increased by ~5% which can be observed by xdpsock.
An alternative approach [1] can be using atomic_try_cmpxchg() to have the
same effect. But unfortunately I don't have evident performance numbers to
prove the atomic approach is better than the current patch. The advantage
is to save the contention time among multiple xsks sharing the same pool
while the disadvantage is losing good maintenance. The full discussion can
be found at the following link.
