[PATCH net-next v2 12/18] xdp: add generic xdp_build_skb_from_buff()
Posted by Alexander Lobakin 1 month, 1 week ago
The code which builds an skb from an &xdp_buff keeps multiplying itself
around the drivers with almost no changes. Let's try to stop that by
adding a generic function.
There's __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() already, so just convert it to take
&xdp_buff instead, while making the original one a wrapper. The original
one always took an already allocated skb, allow both variants here -- if
no skb passed, which is expected when calling from a driver, pick one via
napi_build_skb().

nit: spell out truesize? ts confuse my brain with timestamp TBH

could we leave this out to be set by drivers? i see in ice for example
netdev ptr is retrieved in different ways here.

As for ice, it's for representors only + unlikely() + we could override
it manually there later (set skb->dev + call eth_skb_pkt_type()).
OTOH this looks more consistent with xdp_build_skb_from_frame() + saves
some object code (you won't need to generate a call to eth_type_trans()
in each driver).
