Description

AF_XDP has grown considerably in functionality and hardware support, but recent netdev discussions have exposed gaps in semantics, queue lifecycle, offloads, and cross-driver testing. This BoF is intended to align on the main pain points and identify concrete next steps.

Topics can, e.g., be:

  • AF_XDP semantics: copy vs zero-copy, multi-buffer, UMEM constraints
  • TX/RX metadata and offloads
  • Queue ownership, RSS contexts, netkit queue leasing
  • Driver capability discovery and consistency
  • xskxceiver gaps and AF_XDP hardware compliance testing
  • Running AF_XDP tests in drivers/net/hw / NIPA CI
  • Open issues and next steps
