Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/6] netlink: specs: Add XDP RX checksum capability to XDP metadata specs
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 23:34:05 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708203410.45121-2-deliran@verdict.gg> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708203410.45121-1-deliran@verdict.gg>
From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>
Introduce XDP RX checksum capability to XDP metadata specs. XDP RX
checksum will be use by devices capable of exposing receive checksum
result via bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum().
Moreover, introduce xmo_rx_checksum netdev callback in order to allow
the eBPF program bound to the device to retrieve the RX checksum result
computed by the hw NIC and reported via DMA descriptors.
