Or maybe the trace_xdp_redirect tracepoint. Yes, I have trace_xdp_devmap_xmit in mind, which is for XDP_REDIRECT. > The point is that is will be good if the tracepoints can share the > TP_STRUCT layout beginning, as it allows for attaching and reusing eBPF > code that is only interested in the top part of the struct. It's good, but this tracepoint does not have map concept so differs from xdp_devmap_xmit. > I would also want to see some identifier, that trace programs can use > to group and corrolate these events, you do have ifindex, but most > other XDP tracepoints also have "prog_id". I have considered that too. The problem is that we cannot pass a reliable prog_id since bulk xmit happens after RCU critical section of XDP_TX. xdp_devmap_xmit does not have prog_id and I guess there is a similar reason for it? -- Toshiaki Makita
