Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Wireshark external capture interface
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:42:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727224417.1419663-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724212238.864798-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

This series adds live packet capture from a running DPDK primary over the
telemetry socket. A new capture library installs Rx/Tx callbacks on an
ethdev port and writes pcapng to a caller-supplied path or FIFO, with an
optional libpcap filter and per-queue selection. No application changes are
needed beyond linking the library.

The pcapng interface-statistics block gains a filter-accepted count,
which changes the rte_pcapng_write_stats() signature.

v2 - review feedback from checkpatch and AI
   - defer dpdk-dumpcap.py until later
   - add more documentation

Stephen Hemminger (4):
  pcapng: extend interface statistics
  capture: infrastructure wireshark packet capture
  test: add test for capture hooks
  usertools: add script for wireshark capture
