[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] netdevgenl: Add an xsk attribute to queues
From: Joe Damato
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 13:58:46 EST
Greetings:
This is an attempt to followup on something Jakub asked me about [1],
adding an xsk attribute to queues and more clearly documenting which
queues are linked to NAPIs...
After the RFC [2], Jakub suggested creating an empty nest for queues
which have a pool, so I've adjusted this version to work that way.
The nest can be extended in the future to express attributes about XSK
as needed. Queues which are not used for AF_XDP do not have the xsk
attribute present.
I've run the included test on:
- my mlx5 machine (via NETIF=)
- without setting NETIF
And the test seems to pass in both cases.
Thanks,
Joe

v2:
- Switched from RFC to actual submission now that net-next is open
- Adjusted patch 1 to include an empty nest as suggested by Jakub
- Adjusted patch 2 to update the test based on changes to patch 1, and
to incorporate some Python feedback from Jakub :)
