[PATCH net-next 0/3] xsk: pre-existing AF_XDP TX metadata fixes from Sashiko

[Stanislav Fomichev]

A few fixes to address pre-existing issues from Sashiko review.

Stanislav Fomichev (3):
  xsk: align TX metadata layout across ABIs
  xsk: honor XDP_TX_METADATA in zero-copy path
  net: stmmac: skip queueMaxSDU check for AF_XDP

[PATCH net-next 1/3] xsk: align TX metadata layout across ABIs

[Stanislav Fomichev]

Add explicit padding before launch_time so xsk_tx_metadata has the same
layout on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. This intentionally replaces the
incompatible 32-bit launch-time layout while the interface is still new.

Fixes: ca4419f15abd ("xsk: Add launch time hardware offload support to XDP Tx metadata")

[PATCH net-next 2/3] xsk: honor XDP_TX_METADATA in zero-copy path

[Stanislav Fomichev]

The zero-copy path reads TX metadata whenever the UMEM has metadata space,
even if the descriptor does not set XDP_TX_METADATA. Pass descriptor
options through the metadata helpers and ignore metadata unless the option
is set.

This does not change the existing per-WQE metadata handling for mlx5
MPWQEs, where the descriptor that starts a session configures offload state
shared by the batch. Supporting mixed metadata states within one MPWQE
requires a separate fix.

Fixes: 48eb03dd2630 ("xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support")

[PATCH net-next 3/3] net: stmmac: skip queueMaxSDU check for AF_XDP

[Stanislav Fomichev]

Commit c5c3e1bfc9e0 ("net: stmmac: Offload queueMaxSDU from tc-taprio")
was inspired by commit 92a0dcb8427d ("igc: offload queue max SDU from
tc-taprio"), but the igc change does not apply the check to AF_XDP.

xsk_tx_peek_desc() reserves a completion entry. Continuing without
queuing or completing the descriptor leaves the AF_XDP rings imbalanced,
so remove the check from the zero-copy path.

Fixes: c5c3e1bfc9e0 ("net: stmmac: Offload queueMaxSDU from tc-taprio")

Ooops, this should've been targeted to net tree. Will resend in a few
days in case there is any review feedback.

Please make sure you look at the Clashiko review before you repost.
Looks like it got kicked off already so let's not waste it.
