Although TPACKET_V3 Rx has some benefits over TPACKET_V2 Rx, *_v3 does not currently have TX_RING support. As a result an application that wants the best perf for Tx and Rx (e.g. to handle request/response transacations) ends up needing 2 sockets, one with *_v2 for Tx and another with *_v3 for Rx. This patch enables TPACKET_V2 compatible Tx features in TPACKET_V3 so that an application can use a single descriptor to get the benefits of _v3 RX_RING and _v2 TX_RING. An application may do a block-send by first filling up multiple frames in the Tx ring and then triggering a transmit. This patch only support fixed size Tx frames for TPACKET_V3, and requires that tp_next_offset must be zero. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
