net: Extend NAPI threaded polling to allow kthread based busy polling

2025-11-04T02:11:40+00:00

Add a new state NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL to the NAPI state enum to enable and disable threaded busy polling. When threaded busy polling is enabled for a NAPI, enable NAPI_STATE_THREADED also. When the threaded NAPI is scheduled, set NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL to signal napi_complete_done not to rearm interrupts. Whenever NAPI_STATE_THREADED_BUSY_POLL is unset, the NAPI_STATE_IN_BUSY_POLL will be unset, napi_complete_done unsets the NAPI_STATE_SCHED_THREADED bit also, which in turn will make the kthread go to sleep.

Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual NAPI

2025-07-15T01:02:37+00:00

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded NAPI polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink. Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI context. Add a test in `nl_netdev.py` that verifies various cases of threaded NAPI being set at NAPI and at device level.

xsk: Add launch time hardware offload support to XDP Tx metadata

2025-02-20T23:13:45+00:00

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.

2025-02-18T00:46:03+00:00

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.
