[RFC net-next 0/2] igc: Link IRQs and queues to NAPIs

[Joe Damato]

Greetings:

This is an RFC to get feedback before submitting an actual series and
because I have a question for igc maintainers, see below.

This series addss support for netdev-genl to igc so that userland apps
can query IRQ, queue, and NAPI instance relationships. This is useful
because developers who have igc NICs (for example, in their Intel NUCs)
who are working on epoll-based busy polling apps and using
SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID, need access to this API to map NAPI IDs back to
queues.

See the commit messages of each patch for example output I got on my igc
hardware.

My question for maintainers:

In patch 2, the linking should be avoided for XDP queues. Is there a way
to test that somehow in the driver? I looked around a bit, but didn't
notice anything. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks,
Joe
