This patch series is intended to make a base for setting queue_index in the xdp_rxq_info struct in bpf/cpumap.c to the right index. Although that part I still didn't figure out yet,I m searching for my guidance to do that as well as for the correctness of the patches in this series.What is the use case/movtivation behind this work?
The goal of the work is to have xdp programs have the correct packet RX queue index after being redirected through cpumap because currently the queue_index gets unset or more accurately set to 0 as a default in xdp_rxq_info. This is my current understanding.I still have to know how I can propogate that HW hint from the NICs to the function where I need it. Regards, Mehdi
