<content type='text'>
Extend the XDP Tx metadata framework so that user can requests launch time
hardware offload, where the Ethernet device will schedule the packet for
transmission at a pre-determined time called launch time. The value of
launch time is communicated from user space to Ethernet driver via
launch_time field of struct xsk_tx_metadata.

<title>netdev: clarify GSO vs csum in qstats</title>

<id>b5e489003abcff4b65088d49fce78dcb3cc1ae06</id>
<content type='text'>
Could be just me, but I had to pause and double check that the Tx csum
counter in qstat should include GSO'd packets. GSO pretty much implies
csum so one could possibly interpret the csum counter as pure csum offload.

But the counters are based on virtio:

  [tx_needs_csum]
      The number of packets which require checksum calculation by the device.

  [rx_needs_csum]
      The number of packets with VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM.

and VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM gets set on GSO packets virtio sends.

Clarify this in the spec to avoid any confusion.

Expose a new per-queue nest attribute, xsk, which will be present for
queues that are being used for AF_XDP. If the queue is not being used for
AF_XDP, the nest will not be present.

In the future, this attribute can be extended to include more data about
XSK as it is needed.
