There has been a long lasting issue of improper xdp_rings indexing for XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT actions. Given that currently rx_ring->q_index is mixed with smp_processor_id(), there could be a situation where Tx descriptors are produced onto XDP Tx ring, but tail is never bumped - for example pin a particular queue id to non-matching IRQ line. Address this problem by ignoring the user ring count setting and always initialize the xdp_rings array to be of num_possible_cpus() size. Then, always use the smp_processor_id() as an index to xdp_rings array. This provides serialization as at given time only a single softirq can run on a particular CPU.

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.
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.
