I agree, we can do xmit_more for generic-XDP later, and it should not be that hard... basically replacing netdev_start_xmit() with dev_hard_start_xmit() in generic_xdp_tx(), and finding some place to store a XDP-skb-pointer (functioning as the skb-list) that will be "flushed" like __kfree_skb_flush(). -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
