tun: remove unnecessary tun_xdp_hdr structure

2025-07-02T22:29:46+00:00

With f95f0f95cfb7("net, xdp: Introduce xdp_init_buff utility routine"), buffer length could be stored as frame size so there's no need to have a dedicated tun_xdp_hdr structure. We can simply store virtio net header instead.

tun: switch to new type of msg_control

2018-09-13T16:25:40+00:00

This patch introduces to a new tun/tap specific msg_control: #define TUN_MSG_UBUF 1 #define TUN_MSG_PTR 2 struct tun_msg_ctl { int type; void *ptr; }; This allows us to pass different kinds of msg_control through sendmsg(). The first supported type is ubuf (TUN_MSG_UBUF) which will be used by the existed vhost_net zerocopy code. The second is XDP buff, which allows vhost_net to pass XDP buff to TUN. This could be used to implement accepting an array of XDP buffs from vhost_net in the following patches. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tun: convert to use generic xdp_frame and xdp_return_frame API

2018-04-17T14:50:28+00:00

The tuntap driver invented it's own driver specific way of queuing XDP packets, by storing the xdp_buff information in the top of the XDP frame data. Convert it over to use the more generic xdp_frame structure. The main problem with the in-driver method is that the xdp_rxq_info pointer cannot be trused/used when dequeueing the frame.

vhost_net: examine pointer types during un-producing

After commit fc72d1d54dd9 ("tuntap: XDP transmission"), we can actually queueing XDP pointers in the pointer ring, so we should examine the pointer type before freeing the pointer.

tuntap: XDP transmission

2018-01-09T15:57:08+00:00

This patch implements XDP transmission for TAP. Since we can't create new queues for TAP during XDP set, exist ptr_ring was reused for queuing XDP buffers. To differ xdp_buff from sk_buff, TUN_XDP_FLAG (0x1UL) was encoded into lowest bit of xpd_buff pointer during ptr_ring_produce, and was decoded during consuming. XDP metadata was stored in the headroom of the packet which should work in most of cases since driver usually reserve enough headroom. Very minor changes were done for vhost_net: it just need to peek the length depends on the type of pointer. Tests were done on two Intel E5-2630 2.40GHz machines connected back to back through two 82599ES. Traffic were generated/received through MoonGen/testpmd(rxonly). It reports ~20% improvements when xdp_redirect_map is doing redirection from ixgbe to TAP (from 2.50Mpps to 3.05Mpps) Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: Jason Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
