Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer<redacted>A stupid question is, can we manage to unify this ID with NAPI id?Sorry I don't understand the question?I mean can we associate page poll pointer to napi_struct, record NAPI id in xdp_mem_info and do lookup through NAPI id?No. The driver can unreg/reg a new XDP memory model,
Is there an actual use case for this?
without reloading the NAPI and generate a new NAPI id.
We could still do this by e.g a allocator pointer protected by RCU I think? Thanks
