Under rare circumstances there might be a situation where a requirement of having XDP Tx queue per CPU could not be fulfilled and some of the Tx resources have to be shared between CPUs. This yields a need for placing accesses to xdp_ring inside a critical section protected by spinlock. These accesses happen to be in the hot path, so let's introduce the static branch that will be triggered from the control plane when driver could not provide Tx queue dedicated for XDP on each CPU. Currently, the design that has been picked is to allow any number of XDP Tx queues that is at least half of a count of CPUs that platform has. For lower number driver will bail out with a response to user that there were not enough Tx resources that would allow configuring XDP. The sharing of rings is signalled via static branch enablement which in turn indicates that lock for xdp_ring accesses needs to be taken in hot path. Approach based on static branch has no impact on performance of a non-fallback path. One thing that is needed to be mentioned is a fact that the static branch will act as a global driver switch, meaning that if one PF got out of Tx resources, then other PFs that ice driver is servicing will suffer. However, given the fact that HW that ice driver is handling has 1024 Tx queues per each PF, this is currently an unlikely scenario.

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.
