Subject: [PATCH bpf-next V2 1/7] net: xdp: Add xdp_rx_meta structure
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:58:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <175146829944.1421237.13943404585579626611.stgit@firesoul> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175146824674.1421237.18351246421763677468.stgit@firesoul>

From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>

Introduce the `xdp_rx_meta` structure to serve as a container for XDP RX
hardware hints within XDP packet buffers. Initially, this structure will
accommodate `rx_hash` and `rx_vlan` metadata. (The `rx_timestamp` hint will
get stored in `skb_shared_info`).

A key design aspect is making this metadata accessible both during BPF
program execution (via `struct xdp_buff`) and later if an `struct
xdp_frame` is materialized (e.g., for XDP_REDIRECT).
To achieve this:
  - The `struct xdp_frame` embeds an `xdp_rx_meta` field directly for
    storage.
  - The `struct xdp_buff` includes an `xdp_rx_meta` pointer. This pointer
    is initialized (in `xdp_prepare_buff`) to point to the memory location
    within the packet buffer's headroom where the `xdp_frame`'s embedded
    `rx_meta` field would reside.

This setup allows BPF kfuncs, operating on `xdp_buff`, to populate the
metadata in the precise location where it will be found if an `xdp_frame`
is subsequently created.

The availability of this metadata storage area within the buffer is
indicated by the `XDP_FLAGS_META_AREA` flag in `xdp_buff->flags` (and
propagated to `xdp_frame->flags`). This flag is only set if sufficient
headroom (at least `XDP_MIN_HEADROOM`, currently 192 bytes) is present.
Specific hints like `XDP_FLAGS_META_RX_HASH` and `XDP_FLAGS_META_RX_VLAN`
will then denote which types of metadata have been populated into the
`xdp_rx_meta` structure.

This patch is a step for enabling the preservation and use of XDP RX
hints across operations like XDP_REDIRECT.
