Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 00/15] netkit: Support for io_uring zero-copy and AF_XDP
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 18:23:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251020162355.136118-1-daniel@iogearbox.net> (raw)
Containers use virtual netdevs to route traffic from a physical netdev
in the host namespace. They do not have access to the physical netdev
in the host and thus can't use memory providers or AF_XDP that require
reconfiguring/restarting queues in the physical netdev.
This patchset adds the concept of queue peering to virtual netdevs that
allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed.
These mapped queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and
act as a proxy.
Memory providers and AF_XDP operations takes an ifindex and queue id,
so containers would pass in an ifindex for a virtual netdev and a queue
id of a mapped queue, which then gets proxied to the underlying real
queue. Peered queues are created and bound to a real queue atomically
through a generic ynl netdev operation.
We have implemented support for this concept in netkit and tested the
latter against Nvidia ConnectX-6 (mlx5) as well as Broadcom BCM957504
(bnxt_en) 100G NICs. For more details see the individual patches.
v2->v3:
- Use netdev_ops_assert_locked instead of netdev_assert_locked (syzbot)
- Add missing netdev_lockdep_set_classes in netkit
v1->v2:
- Removed bind sample ynl code (Stan)
- Reworked netdev locking to have consistent order (Stan, Kuba)
- Return 'not supported' in API patch (Stan)
- Improved ynl documentation (Kuba)
- Added 'max: s32-max' in ynl spec for ifindex (Kuba)
- Added also queue type in ynl to have user specify rx to make
it obvious (Kuba)
- Use of netdev_hold (Kuba)
- Avoid static inlines from another header (Kuba)
- Squashed some commits (Kuba, Stan)
- Removed ndo_{peer,unpeer}_queues callback and simplified
code (Kuba)
- Improved commit messages (Toke, Kuba, Stan, zf)
- Got rid of locking genl_sk_priv_get (Stan)
- Removed af_xdp cleanup churn (Maciej)
- Added netdev locking asserts (Stan)
- Reject ethtool ioctl path queue resizing (Kuba)
- Added kdoc for ndo_queue_create (Stan)
- Uninvert logic in netkit single dev mode (Jordan)
- Added binding support for multiple queues
