Please see the first patch in the series for the overall design and use-cases. See the following email from Toke for the per-packet metadata overhead: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20221206024554.3826186-1-sdf@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#m49d48ea08d525ec88360c7d14c4d34fb0e45e798 Recent changes: - Bring back parts that were removed during patch reshuffling from "bpf: Introduce device-bound XDP programs" patch (Martin) - Remove netdev NULL check from __bpf_prog_dev_bound_init (Martin) - Remove netdev NULL check from bpf_dev_bound_resolve_kfunc (Martin) - Move target bound device verification from bpf_tracing_prog_attach into bpf_check_attach_target (Martin) - Move mlx5e_free_rx_in_progress_descs into txrx.h (Tariq) - mlx5e_fill_xdp_buff -> mlx5e_fill_mxbuf (Tariq) Prior art (to record pros/cons for different approaches): -
