Hi Stanislav, When i was looking at the available information or recent
similar patches to populate the queue_index in xdp_rxq_info inside of
the cpu map of an ebpf program to run xdp. i stumbled upon this:
https://lkml.rescloud.iu.edu/2506.1/02808.html
which suggests that in order to that, a struct called "xdp_rx_meta"
should be the route to do that. In my navigation of code i only found
the closest thing to that is xdp_rx_metadata which is an enum. I tried
to follow was done for other metadata there like timestamp in order to
see if that gets me closer to do that. which was stupid with the
information that i have now but for my lack of experience (this is my
first patch) i tried to reason with the code.So yeah, since xdp_md is
the structure for transfering metadata to ebpf programs that use xdp.
it's useless to have a kfunc to expose queue_index since it's already
present there. But how would one try to populate the queue_index in
xdp_rxq_info in cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp()? Any sort of hints or guides
would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
