Subject: [PATCH] net/af_xdp: add Rx metadata and dynamic timestamping support
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 21:53:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623215325.814776-1-blasko@google.com> (raw)
Enable dynamic RX timestamping in the AF_XDP Poll Mode Driver.
This extracts the ingress timestamp prepended to the packet
headroom by the XDP program and populates it in the mbuf.
