In XSK files below you mix usage of both alloc_units[page_idx].mxbuf and
alloc_units[page_idx].xsk, while both fields share the memory of a union.

As struct mlx5e_xdp_buff wraps struct xdp_buff, I think that you just
need to change the existing xsk field type from struct xdp_buff *xsk
into struct mlx5e_xdp_buff *xsk and align the usage.

Hmmm, good point. I'm actually not sure how it works currently.
mlx5e_alloc_unit.mxbuf doesn't seem to be initialized anywhere? Toke,
am I missing something?

It's initialised piecemeal in different places; but yeah, we're mixing
things a bit...

I'm thinking about something like this:

Hmm, for consistency with the non-XSK path we should rather go the other
direction and lose the xsk member, moving everything to mxbuf? Let me
give that a shot...

Something like the below?

What about the space needed for the rq / cqe fields? xsk_buff_alloc
won't allocate it.

It will! See patch 14 in the series that adds a 'cb' field to
xdp_buff_xsk, meaning there's actually space after the xdp_buff struct
being allocated by the xsk_buff_alloc API. The XSK_CHECK_PRIV_TYPE macro
call is there to ensure the cb field is big enough for the struct we're
casting to in the driver.


Oh okay, got it.

This batching API gets broken as well...
xsk_buff_alloc_batch fills an array of struct xdp_buff pointers, it
cannot correctly act on the array of struct mlx5e_xdp_buff, as it
contains additional fields.

See above for why this does, in fact, work. I agree it's not totally
obvious, and in any case there's going to be a point where the cast
happens where type safety will break, which is what I was alluding to in
my reply to Stanislav.

I guess we could try to rework the API in xdp_sock_drv.h to make this
more obvious instead of using the casting driver-specific wrappers I
suggested here. Or we could go with Stanislav's suggestion of keeping
allocation etc using xdp_buff and only casting to mlx5e_xdp_buff in the
function where it's used; then we can keep the casting localised to that
function, and put a comment there explaining why it works?


Stanislav's proposal LGTM.
Let's keep the casting localised, and make sure there's a comment there.

Maybe letting mlx5e_xdp_buff point to its struct xdp_buff (instead of
wrapping it) will solve the problems here, then we'll loop over the
xdp_buff * array and copy the pointers into the struct mlx5e_xdp_buff *
array.
Need to give it deeper thoughts...

struct mlx5e_xdp_buff {
	struct xdp_buff *xdp;
	struct mlx5_cqe64 *cqe;
	struct mlx5e_rq *rq;
};

This was actually my original proposal; we discussed this back on v2 of
this patch series. People generally felt that the 'cb' field approach
(originally suggested by Jakub) was better.

I agree.
