[PATCH] bpf: cpumap: report Rx queue index to xdp_rxq_info
Posted by Ujwal Kundur 4 months ago
Refer to the Rx queue using a XDP frame's attached netdev and ascertain
the queue index from it.

I won't repeat what the folks above already told you.

I'll just add that you may want to take a look at Lorenzo's series[0].
Rx queue index is sorta HW hint, so it shouldn't be a problem to add the
corresponding field to xdp_rx_meta.
Then, you can expand cpumap's code to try reading that HW meta if present.

I didn't realize that would always return 0, sorry I should've tried
to understand that statement better.

Thank you! I also tried to work backwards to figure out how the
queue_index would be used if present in xdp_rxq_info but that wasn't
immediately apparent to me.
I'm keen on learning/contributing to the BPF part of the network stack
and this seemed like a good first patch to take up -- I'll understand
this better and try again.

Thanks for your time,
Ujwal

Sounds good! Don't be discouraged by having to try again, that's
perfectly normal :)

This is pretty nonsensical; the definition of the function you're
calling is this:

static inline unsigned int
get_netdev_rx_queue_index(struct netdev_rx_queue *queue)
{
	struct net_device *dev = queue->dev;
	int index = queue - dev->_rx;

	BUG_ON(index >= dev->num_rx_queues);
	return index;
}

So passing dev->_rx to that function will always return 0; which is what
the field is already initialised to...

This looks wrong...
I think this will always return index 0
