[RFC PATCH net-next v8 03/14] net: netdev netlink api to bind dma-buf to a net device

From: Mina Almasry
Date: Tue Apr 02 2024 - 20:22:37 EST

API takes the dma-buf fd as input, and binds it to the netdevice. The
user can specify the rx queues to bind the dma-buf to.

Suggested-by: Stanislav Fomichev <sdf@xxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Mina Almasry <almasrymina@xxxxxxxxxx>

---

v7:
- Use flags: [ admin-perm ] instead of a CAP_NET_ADMIN check.

Changes in v1:
- Add rx-queue-type to distingish rx from tx (Jakub)
- Return dma-buf ID from netlink API (David, Stan)

Changes in RFC-v3:
- Support binding multiple rx rx-queues
