![]() This change actually defines the (initial) metadata layout that should be used by AF_XDP userspace (xsk_tx_metadata). The first field is flags which requests appropriate offloads, followed by the offload-specific fields. The supported per-device offloads are exported via netlink (new xsk-flags). The offloads themselves are still implemented in a bit of a framework-y fashion that's left from my initial kfunc attempt. I'm introducing new xsk_tx_metadata_ops which drivers are supposed to implement. The drivers are also supposed to call xsk_tx_metadata_request/xsk_tx_metadata_complete in the right places. Since xsk_tx_metadata_{request,_complete} are static inline, we don't incur any extra overhead doing indirect calls. The benefit of this scheme is as follows: - keeps all metadata layout parsing away from driver code - makes it easy to grep and see which drivers implement what - don't need any extra flags to maintain to keep track of what offloads are implemented; if the callback is implemented - the offload is supported (used by netlink reporting code) Two offloads are defined right now: 1. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_CHECKSUM: skb-style csum_start+csum_offset 2. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP: writes TX timestamp back into metadata area upon completion (tx_timestamp field) XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is also implemented for XDP_COPY mode: it writes SW timestamp from the skb destructor (note I'm reusing hwtstamps to pass metadata pointer). The struct is forward-compatible and can be extended in the future by appending more fields.

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.
