[PATCH net-next v5 02/15] netdevice: add priv_flags IFF_NOT_USE_DMA_ADDR

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some driver devices, such as virtio-net, do not directly use dma addr.
For upper-level frameworks such as xdp socket, that need to be aware of
this. So add a new priv_flag IFF_NOT_USE_DMA_ADDR.
