Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/8] net: macb: add XSK support
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:24:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-macb-xsk-v1-0-ba2ebe2bdaa3@bootlin.com> (raw)
Add XSK support to the MACB/GEM driver.
Tested on Mobileye EyeQ5 (MIPS) evaluation board.
Applies on top of net-next (4ad96a7c9e2c) and Paolo's XDP work [0].
I don't have good Rx benchmark numbers yet, sorry, mostly because of
userspace tooling issues around eBPF/XDP and MIPS. In copy mode it only
means slowdowns, but in zero-copy, as we work with a fixed amount of
buffers, it causes allocation errors.
--
The bulk of the work is dealing with a second allocator. Throughout, we
now use queue->page_pool or queue->xsk_pool. The former gives us raw
buffers which we need to wrap inside xdp_buff and the latter allocates
xdp_buff, meaning less work.
To simplify the implementation, attaching an XSK pool implies closing
and reopening the interface. It could be improved over time as
currently attaching AF_XDP socket in zero-copy mode means we
close/reopen twice: once for the XDP program, once for the XSK pool.
First three patches are cleanup.
[PATCH net-next 1/8] net: macb: make rx error messages rate-limited
[PATCH net-next 2/8] net: macb: account for stats in Rx XDP codepaths
[PATCH net-next 3/8] net: macb: account for stats in Tx XDP codepaths
Then comes preparation work.
[PATCH net-next 4/8] net: macb: drop handling of recycled buffers in gem_rx_refill()
[PATCH net-next 5/8] net: macb: move macb_xdp_submit_frame() body to helper function
And finally the XSK codepaths.
[PATCH net-next 6/8] net: macb: add infrastructure for XSK buffer pool
[PATCH net-next 7/8] net: macb: add Rx zero-copy AF_XDP support
[PATCH net-next 8/8] net: macb: add Tx zero-copy AF_XDP support
Thanks,
Have a nice day,
Théo
