Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. Instead of using the IDR infrastructure, which uses a radix tree, use a dynamic rhashtable, for creating ID to pointer lookup table, because this is faster. The problem that is being solved here is that, the xdp_rxq_info pointer (stored in xdp_buff) cannot be used directly, as the guaranteed lifetime is too short. The info is needed on a (potentially) remote CPU during DMA-TX completion time . In an xdp_frame the xdp_mem_info is stored, when it got converted from an xdp_buff, which is sufficient for the simple page refcnt based recycle schemes. For more advanced allocators there is a need to store a pointer to the registered allocator. Thus, there is a need to guard the lifetime or validity of the allocator pointer, which is done through this rhashtable ID map to pointer. The removal and validity of of the allocator and helper struct xdp_mem_allocator is guarded by RCU. The allocator will be created by the driver, and registered with xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model(). It is up-to debate who is responsible for freeing the allocator pointer or invoking the allocator destructor function. In any case, this must happen via RCU freeing.

A stupid question is, can we manage to unify this ID with NAPI id? Thanks
