## AF_XDP XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The performance of zero copy is very good. mlx5 and intel ixgbe already support this feature, This patch set allows virtio-net to support xsk's zerocopy xmit feature.You're moving the driver and adding a major feature. This really needs to go via net or bpf. If you have dependencies in other trees please wait for after the merge window.If so, I can remove the first two commits. Then, the sq uses the premapped mode by default. And we can use the api virtqueue_dma_map_single_attrs to replace the virtqueue_dma_map_page_attrs. And then I will fix that on the top. Hi Micheal and Jason, is that ok for you?
I would go with what looks easy for you but I think Jakub wants the series to go with next-next (this is what we did in the past for networking specific features that is done in virtio-net). So we need to tweak the prefix to use net-next instead of vhost. Thanks
Thanks.
