This patchset expose the traditional hardware offload hints to XDP and
rely on BTF to expose the layout to users.
[...]
The main different from RFC-v1:
- Drop idea of BTF "origin" (vmlinux, module or local)
- Instead to use full 64-bit BTF ID that combine object+type ID
I've taken some of Alexandr/Larysa's libbpf patches and integrated
those.
Not sure if it's okay to inform the authors about the fact only
after sending? Esp from the eeeh... "incompatible" implementation?
Just to be clear: I have made sure that developers of the patches
maintain authorship (when applied to git via the From: line) and I've
Cc'ed the developers directly. I didn't Cc you directly as I knew you
would be included via XDP-hints list, and I didn't directly use one of
your patches.
I realize it's open code, but this looks sorta depreciatingly.
After discussions with Larysa on pre-patchset, I was convinced of the
idea of a full 64-bit BTF ID. Thus, I took those patches and carried
them in my patchset, instead of reimplementing the same myself.
Precisely out of respect for Larysa's work as I wanted to give her
credit for coding this.
I'm very interested in collaborating. That is why I have picked up
patches from your patchset and are carrying them forward. I could just
as easily reimplemented them myself.
