In this commit we remove the explicit ring structure from the the uapi. It is tricky for an uapi to depend on a certain L1 cache line size, since it can differ for variants of the same architecture. Now, we let the user application determine the offsets of the producer, consumer and descriptors by asking the socket via getsockopt. A typical flow would be (Rx ring): struct xdp_mmap_offsets off; struct xdp_desc *ring; u32 *prod, *cons; void *map; ... getsockopt(fd, SOL_XDP, XDP_MMAP_OFFSETS, &off, &optlen); map = mmap(NULL, off.rx.desc + NUM_DESCS * sizeof(struct xdp_desc), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_POPULATE, sfd, XDP_PGOFF_RX_RING); prod = map + off.rx.producer; cons = map + off.rx.consumer; ring = map + off.rx.desc; Signed-off-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
