From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx> For afxdp, the return value of sendto() syscall doesn't reflect how many descs handled in the kernel. One of use cases is that when user-space application tries to know the number of transmitted skbs and then decides if it continues to send, say, is it stopped due to max tx budget? The following formular can be used after sending to learn how many skbs/descs the kernel takes care of: tx_queue.consumers_before - tx_queue.consumers_after Prior to the current patch, the consumer of tx queue is not immdiately updated at the end of each sendto syscall, which leads the consumer value out-of-dated from the perspective of user space. So this patch requires store operation to pass the cached value to the shared value to handle the problem.
