<title>xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support</title>
<updated>2023-11-29T22:59:40+00:00</updated>

<id>48eb03dd26304c24f03bdbb9382e89c8564e71df</id>
<content type='text'>
This change actually defines the (initial) metadata layout
that should be used by AF_XDP userspace (xsk_tx_metadata).
The first field is flags which requests appropriate offloads,
followed by the offload-specific fields. The supported per-device
offloads are exported via netlink (new xsk-flags).

The offloads themselves are still implemented in a bit of a
framework-y fashion that's left from my initial kfunc attempt.
I'm introducing new xsk_tx_metadata_ops which drivers are
supposed to implement. The drivers are also supposed
to call xsk_tx_metadata_request/xsk_tx_metadata_complete in
the right places. Since xsk_tx_metadata_{request,_complete}
are static inline, we don't incur any extra overhead doing
indirect calls.

The benefit of this scheme is as follows:
- keeps all metadata layout parsing away from driver code
- makes it easy to grep and see which drivers implement what
- don't need any extra flags to maintain to keep track of what
  offloads are implemented; if the callback is implemented - the offload
  is supported (used by netlink reporting code)

Two offloads are defined right now:
1. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_CHECKSUM: skb-style csum_start+csum_offset
2. XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP: writes TX timestamp back into metadata
   area upon completion (tx_timestamp field)

XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is also implemented for XDP_COPY mode: it writes
SW timestamp from the skb destructor (note I'm reusing hwtstamps to pass
metadata pointer).

The struct is forward-compatible and can be extended in the future
by appending more fields.

Add new xdp-rx-metadata-features member to netdev netlink
which exports a bitmask of supported kfuncs. Most of the patch
is autogenerated (headers), the only relevant part is netdev.yaml
and the changes in netdev-genl.c to marshal into netlink.

Example output on veth:

$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 # ifndex == 12
$ ./tools/net/ynl/samples/netdev 12

Select ifc ($ifindex; or 0 = dump; or -2 ntf check): 12
