Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next v4 02/14] xsk: extend xsk_build_skb() to support passing an already allocated skb
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:26:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415082654.21026-3-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415082654.21026-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com>
From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>
To avoid reinvent the wheel, the patch provides a way to let batch
feature reuse xsk_build_skb() as the rest process of the whole
initialization just after the skb is allocated.
The original xsk_build_skb() itself allocates a new skb by calling
sock_alloc_send_skb whether in copy mode or zerocopy mode. Add a new
parameter allocated skb to let other callers to pass an already
allocated skb to support later xmit batch feature. It replaces the
previous allocation of memory function with a bulk one.
