Add support to dump fd-based attach types via bpftool. This includes both
the tc BPF link and attach ops programs. Dumped information contain the
attach location, function entry name, program ID and link ID when applicable.
Example with tc BPF link:
# ./bpftool net
xdp:
tc:
bond0(4) tcx/ingress cil_from_netdev prog_id 784 link_id 10
bond0(4) tcx/egress cil_to_netdev prog_id 804 link_id 11
flow_dissector:
netfilter:
Example with tc BPF attach ops:
# ./bpftool net
xdp:
tc:
bond0(4) tcx/ingress cil_from_netdev prog_id 654
bond0(4) tcx/egress cil_to_netdev prog_id 672
flow_dissector:
netfilter:
Currently, permanent flags are not yet supported, so 'unknown' ones are dumped
via NET_DUMP_UINT_ONLY() and once we do have permanent ones, we dump them as
human readable string.

Add a small and generic LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET() helper macros which clears an
opts structure and reinitializes its .sz member to place the structure
size. Additionally, the user can pass option-specific data to reinitialize
via varargs.
I found this very useful when developing selftests, but it is also generic
enough as a macro next to the existing LIBBPF_OPTS() which hides the .sz
initialization, too.

Implement tcx BPF link support for libbpf.
The bpf_program__attach_fd() API has been refactored slightly in order to pass
bpf_link_create_opts pointer as input.
A new bpf_program__attach_tcx() has been added on top of this which allows for
passing all relevant data via extensible struct bpf_tcx_opts.
The program sections tcx/ingress and tcx/egress correspond to the hook locations
for tc ingress and egress, respectively.

This work refactors and adds a lightweight extension ("tcx") to the tc BPF
ingress and egress data path side for allowing BPF program management based
on fds via bpf() syscall through the newly added generic multi-prog API.
The main goal behind this work which we also presented at LPC [0] last year
and a recent update at LSF/MM/BPF this year [3] is to support long-awaited
BPF link functionality for tc BPF programs, which allows for a model of safe
ownership and program detachment.
Given the rise in tc BPF users in cloud native environments, this becomes
necessary to avoid hard to debug incidents either through stale leftover
programs or 3rd party applications accidentally stepping on each others toes.
As a recap, a BPF link represents the attachment of a BPF program to a BPF
hook point. The BPF link holds a single reference to keep BPF program alive.
Moreover, hook points do not reference a BPF link, only the application's
fd or pinning does. A BPF link holds meta-data specific to attachment and
implements operations for link creation, (atomic) BPF program update,
detachment and introspection. The motivation for BPF links for tc BPF programs
is multi-fold, for example:
- From Meta: "It's especially important for applications that are deployed
fleet-wide and that don't "control" hosts they are deployed to. If such
application crashes and no one notices and does anything about that, BPF
program will keep running draining resources or even just, say, dropping
packets. We at FB had outages due to such permanent BPF attachment
semantics. With fd-based BPF link we are getting a framework, which allows
safe, auto-detachable behavior by default, unless application explicitly
opts in by pinning the BPF link." [1]
- From Cilium-side the tc BPF programs we attach to host-facing veth devices
and phys devices build the core datapath for Kubernetes Pods, and they
implement forwarding, load-balancing, policy, EDT-management, etc, within
BPF. Currently there is no concept of 'safe' ownership, e.g. we've recently
experienced hard-to-debug issues in a user's staging environment where
another Kubernetes application using tc BPF attached to the same prio/handle
of cls_bpf, accidentally wiping all Cilium-based BPF programs from underneath
it. The goal is to establish a clear/safe ownership model via links which
cannot accidentally be overridden. [0,2]
BPF links for tc can co-exist with non-link attachments, and the semantics are
in line also with XDP links: BPF links cannot replace other BPF links, BPF
links cannot replace non-BPF links, non-BPF links cannot replace BPF links and
lastly only non-BPF links can replace non-BPF links. In case of Cilium, this
would solve mentioned issue of safe ownership model as 3rd party applications
would not be able to accidentally wipe Cilium programs, even if they are not
BPF link aware.
Earlier attempts [4] have tried to integrate BPF links into core tc machinery
to solve cls_bpf, which has been intrusive to the generic tc kernel API with
extensions only specific to cls_bpf and suboptimal/complex since cls_bpf could
be wiped from the qdisc also. Locking a tc BPF program in place this way, is
getting into layering hacks given the two object models are vastly different.
We instead implemented the tcx (tc 'express') layer which is an fd-based tc BPF
attach API, so that the BPF link implementation blends in naturally similar to
other link types which are fd-based and without the need for changing core tc
internal APIs. BPF programs for tc can then be successively migrated from classic
cls_bpf to the new tc BPF link without needing to change the program's source
code, just the BPF loader mechanics for attaching is sufficient.
For the current tc framework, there is no change in behavior with this change
and neither does this change touch on tc core kernel APIs. The gist of this
patch is that the ingress and egress hook have a lightweight, qdisc-less
extension for BPF to attach its tc BPF programs, in other words, a minimal
entry point for tc BPF. The name tcx has been suggested from discussion of
earlier revisions of this work as a good fit, and to more easily differ between
the classic cls_bpf attachment and the fd-based one.
For the ingress and egress tcx points, the device holds a cache-friendly array
with program pointers which is separated from control plane (slow-path) data.
Earlier versions of this work used priority to determine ordering and expression
of dependencies similar as with classic tc, but it was challenged that for
something more future-proof a better user experience is required. Hence this
resulted in the design and development of the generic attach/detach/query API
for multi-progs. See prior patch with its discussion on the API design. tcx is
the first user and later we plan to integrate also others, for example, one
candidate is multi-prog support for XDP which would benefit and have the same
'look and feel' from API perspective.
The goal with tcx is to have maximum compatibility to existing tc BPF programs,
so they don't need to be rewritten specifically. Compatibility to call into
classic tcf_classify() is also provided in order to allow successive migration
or both to cleanly co-exist where needed given its all one logical tc layer and
the tcx plus classic tc cls/act build one logical overall processing pipeline.
tcx supports the simplified return codes TCX_NEXT which is non-terminating (go
to next program) and terminating ones with TCX_PASS, TCX_DROP, TCX_REDIRECT.
The fd-based API is behind a static key, so that when unused the code is also
not entered. The struct tcx_entry's program array is currently static, but
could be made dynamic if necessary at a point in future. The a/b pair swap
design has been chosen so that for detachment there are no allocations which
otherwise could fail.
The work has been tested with tc-testing selftest suite which all passes, as
well as the tc BPF tests from the BPF CI, and also with Cilium's L4LB.
Thanks also to Nikolay Aleksandrov and Martin Lau for in-depth early reviews
of this work.

This adds a generic layer called bpf_mprog which can be reused by different
attachment layers to enable multi-program attachment and dependency resolution.
In-kernel users of the bpf_mprog don't need to care about the dependency
resolution internals, they can just consume it with few API calls.
The initial idea of having a generic API sparked out of discussion [0] from an
earlier revision of this work where tc's priority was reused and exposed via
BPF uapi as a way to coordinate dependencies among tc BPF programs, similar
as-is for classic tc BPF. The feedback was that priority provides a bad user
experience and is hard to use [1], e.g.:
I cannot help but feel that priority logic copy-paste from old tc, netfilter
and friends is done because "that's how things were done in the past". [...]
Priority gets exposed everywhere in uapi all the way to bpftool when it's
right there for users to understand. And that's the main problem with it.
The user don't want to and don't need to be aware of it, but uapi forces them
to pick the priority. [...] Your cover letter [0] example proves that in
real life different service pick the same priority. They simply don't know
any better. Priority is an unnecessary magic that apps _have_ to pick, so
they just copy-paste and everyone ends up using the same.
The course of the discussion showed more and more the need for a generic,
reusable API where the "same look and feel" can be applied for various other
program types beyond just tc BPF, for example XDP today does not have multi-
program support in kernel, but also there was interest around this API for
improving management of cgroup program types. Such common multi-program
management concept is useful for BPF management daemons or user space BPF
applications coordinating internally about their attachments.
Both from Cilium and Meta side [2], we've collected the following requirements
for a generic attach/detach/query API for multi-progs which has been implemented
as part of this work:
- Support prog-based attach/detach and link API
- Dependency directives (can also be combined):
- BPF_F_{BEFORE,AFTER} with relative_{fd,id} which can be {prog,link,none}
- BPF_F_ID flag as {fd,id} toggle; the rationale for id is so that user
space application does not need CAP_SYS_ADMIN to retrieve foreign fds
via bpf_*_get_fd_by_id()
- BPF_F_LINK flag as {prog,link} toggle
- If relative_{fd,id} is none, then BPF_F_BEFORE will just prepend, and
BPF_F_AFTER will just append for attaching
- Enforced only at attach time
- BPF_F_REPLACE with replace_bpf_fd which can be prog, links have their
own infra for replacing their internal prog
- If no flags are set, then it's default append behavior for attaching
- Internal revision counter and optionally being able to pass expected_revision
- User space application can query current state with revision, and pass it
along for attachment to assert current state before doing updates
- Query also gets extension for link_ids array and link_attach_flags:
- prog_ids are always filled with program IDs
- link_ids are filled with link IDs when link was used, otherwise 0
- {prog,link}_attach_flags for holding {prog,link}-specific flags
- Must be easy to integrate/reuse for in-kernel users
The uapi-side changes needed for supporting bpf_mprog are rather minimal,
consisting of the additions of the attachment flags, revision counter, and
expanding existing union with relative_{fd,id} member.
The bpf_mprog framework consists of an bpf_mprog_entry object which holds
an array of bpf_mprog_fp (fast-path structure). The bpf_mprog_cp (control-path
structure) is part of bpf_mprog_bundle. Both have been separated, so that
fast-path gets efficient packing of bpf_prog pointers for maximum cache
efficiency. Also, array has been chosen instead of linked list or other
structures to remove unnecessary indirections for a fast point-to-entry in
tc for BPF.
The bpf_mprog_entry comes as a pair via bpf_mprog_bundle so that in case of
updates the peer bpf_mprog_entry is populated and then just swapped which
avoids additional allocations that could otherwise fail, for example, in
detach case. bpf_mprog_{fp,cp} arrays are currently static, but they could
be converted to dynamic allocation if necessary at a point in future.
Locking is deferred to the in-kernel user of bpf_mprog, for example, in case
of tcx which uses this API in the next patch, it piggybacks on rtnl.
An extensive test suite for checking all aspects of this API for prog-based
attach/detach and link API comes as BPF selftests in this series.
Thanks also to Andrii Nakryiko for early API discussions wrt Meta's BPF prog
management.

This series of patches add multi-buffer support for AF_XDP. XDP and
various NIC drivers already have support for multi-buffer packets. With
this patch set, programs using AF_XDP sockets can now also receive and
transmit multi-buffer packets both in copy as well as zero-copy mode.
ZC multi-buffer implementation is based on ice driver.
Some definitions to put us all on the same page:
* A packet consists of one or more frames
* A descriptor in one of the AF_XDP rings always refers to a single
frame. In the case the packet consists of a single frame, the
descriptor refers to the whole packet.
To represent a packet consisting of multiple frames, we introduce a
new flag called XDP_PKT_CONTD in the options field of the Rx and Tx
descriptors. If it is true (1) the packet continues with the next
descriptor and if it is false (0) it means this is the last descriptor
of the packet. Why the reverse logic of end-of-packet (eop) flag found
in many NICs? Just to preserve compatibility with non-multi-buffer
applications that have this bit set to false for all packets on Rx, and
the apps set the options field to zero for Tx, as anything else will
be treated as an invalid descriptor.
These are the semantics for producing packets onto XSK Tx ring
consisting of multiple frames:
* When an invalid descriptor is found, all the other
descriptors/frames of this packet are marked as invalid and not
completed. The next descriptor is treated as the start of a new
packet, even if this was not the intent (because we cannot guess
the intent). As before, if your program is producing invalid
descriptors you have a bug that must be fixed.
* Zero length descriptors are treated as invalid descriptors.
* For copy mode, the maximum supported number of frames in a packet is
equal to CONFIG_MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1. If it is exceeded, all
descriptors accumulated so far are dropped and treated as
invalid. To produce an application that will work on any system
regardless of this config setting, limit the number of frags to 18,
as the minimum value of the config is 17.
* For zero-copy mode, the limit is up to what the NIC HW
supports. User space can discover this via newly introduced
NETDEV_A_DEV_XDP_ZC_MAX_SEGS netlink attribute.
Here is an example Tx path pseudo-code (using libxdp interfaces for
simplicity) ignoring that the umem is finite in size, and that we
eventually will run out of packets to send. Also assumes pkts.addr
points to a valid location in the umem.
void tx_packets(struct xsk_socket_info *xsk, struct pkt *pkts,
int batch_size)
{
u32 idx, i, pkt_nb = 0;
xsk_ring_prod__reserve(&xsk->tx, batch_size, &idx);
for (i = 0; i < batch_size;) {
u64 addr = pkts[pkt_nb].addr;
u32 len = pkts[pkt_nb].size;
do {
struct xdp_desc *tx_desc;
tx_desc = xsk_ring_prod__tx_desc(&xsk->tx, idx + i++);
tx_desc->addr = addr;
if (len > xsk_frame_size) {
tx_desc->len = xsk_frame_size;
tx_desc->options |= XDP_PKT_CONTD;
} else {
tx_desc->len = len;
tx_desc->options = 0;
pkt_nb++;
}
len -= tx_desc->len;
addr += xsk_frame_size;
if (i == batch_size) {
/* Remember len, addr, pkt_nb for next
* iteration. Skipped for simplicity.
*/
break;
}
} while (len);
}
xsk_ring_prod__submit(&xsk->tx, i);
}
On the Rx path in copy mode, the xsk core copies the XDP data into
multiple descriptors, if needed, and sets the XDP_PKT_CONTD flag as
detailed before. Zero-copy mode in order to avoid the copies has to
maintain a chain of xdp_buff_xsk structs that represent whole packet.
This is because what actually is redirected is the xdp_buff and we
currently have no equivalent mechanism that is used for copy mode
(embedded skb_shared_info in xdp_buff) to carry the frags. This means
xdp_buff_xsk grows in size but these members are at the end and should
not be touched when data path is not dealing with fragmented packets.
This solution kept us within assumed performance impact, hence we
decided to proceed with it.
When the application gets a descriptor with the
XDP_PKT_CONTD flag set to one, it means that the packet consists of
multiple buffers and it continues with the next buffer in the following
descriptor. When a descriptor with XDP_PKT_CONTD == 0 is received, it
means that this is the last buffer of the packet. AF_XDP guarantees that
only a complete packet (all frames in the packet) is sent to the
application.
If application reads a batch of descriptors, using for example the libxdp
interfaces, it is not guaranteed that the batch will end with a full
packet. It might end in the middle of a packet and the rest of the
buffers of that packet will arrive at the beginning of the next batch,
since the libxdp interface does not read the whole ring (unless you
have an enormous batch size or a very small ring size).
Here is a simple Rx path pseudo-code example (using libxdp interfaces for
simplicity). Error paths have been excluded for simplicity:
void rx_packets(struct xsk_socket_info *xsk)
{
static bool new_packet = true;
u32 idx_rx = 0, idx_fq = 0;
static char *pkt;
int rcvd = xsk_ring_cons__peek(&xsk->rx, opt_batch_size, &idx_rx);
xsk_ring_prod__reserve(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd, &idx_fq);
for (int i = 0; i < rcvd; i++) {
struct xdp_desc *desc = xsk_ring_cons__rx_desc(&xsk->rx, idx_rx++);
char *frag = xsk_umem__get_data(xsk->umem->buffer, desc->addr);
bool eop = !(desc->options & XDP_PKT_CONTD);
if (new_packet)
pkt = frag;
else
add_frag_to_pkt(pkt, frag);
if (eop)
process_pkt(pkt);
new_packet = eop;
*xsk_ring_prod__fill_addr(&xsk->umem->fq, idx_fq++) = desc->addr;
}
xsk_ring_prod__submit(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd);
xsk_ring_cons__release(&xsk->rx, rcvd);
}
We had to introduce a new bind flag (XDP_USE_SG) on the AF_XDP level to
enable multi-buffer support. The reason we need to differentiate between
non multi-buffer and multi-buffer is the behaviour when the kernel gets
a packet that is larger than the frame size. Without multi-buffer, this
packet is dropped and marked in the stats. With multi-buffer on, we want
to split it up into multiple frames instead.
At the start, we thought that riding on the .frags section name of
the XDP program was a good idea. You do not have to introduce yet
another flag and all AF_XDP users must load an XDP program anyway
to get any traffic up to the socket, so why not just say that the XDP
program decides if the AF_XDP socket should get multi-buffer packets
or not? The problem is that we can create an AF_XDP socket that is Tx
only and that works without having to load an XDP program at
all. Another problem is that the XDP program might change during the
execution, so we would have to check this for every single packet.
Here is the observed throughput when compared to a codebase without any
multi-buffer changes and measured with xdpsock for 64B packets.
Apparently ZC Tx takes a hit from explicit zero length descriptors
validation. Overall, in terms of ZC performance, there is a room for
improvement, but for now we think this work is in a good shape in terms
of correctness and functionality. We were targetting for up to 5%
overhead though. Note that ZC performance drops come from core + driver
support being combined, whereas copy mode had already driver support in
place.

Currently, when running ZC test suite, after finishing first run of test
suite and then switching to busy-poll tests within xskxceiver, such
errors are observed:
libbpf: Kernel error message: ice: MTU is too large for linear frames and XDP prog does not support frags
1..26
libbpf: Kernel error message: Native and generic XDP can't be active at the same time
Error attaching XDP program
not ok 1 [xskxceiver.c:xsk_reattach_xdp:1568]: ERROR: 17/"File exists"
this is because test suite ends with 9k MTU and native xdp program being
loaded. Busy-poll tests start non-multi-buffer tests for generic mode.
To fix this, let us introduce bash function that will reset NIC settings
to default (e.g. 1500 MTU and no xdp progs loaded) so that test suite
can continue without interrupts. It also means that after busy-poll
tests NIC will have those default settings, whereas right now it is left
with 9k MTU and xdp prog loaded in native mode.

valid and some are not as indicated by the valid flag. For a
description of all the test combinations, please see the code.
To stress the API, we need to be able to generate combinations of
descriptors that make little sense. A new verbatim mode is introduced
for the packet_stream to accomplish this. In this mode, all packets in
the packet_stream are sent as is. We do not try to chop them up into

support. There are three pieces of code that need to be changed to
achieve this: the Rx path, the Tx path, and the validation logic.
Both the Rx path and Tx could only deal with a single fragment per
packet. The Tx path is extended with a new function called
pkt_nb_frags() that can be used to retrieve the number of fragments a
packet will consume. We then create these many fragments in a loop and
fill the N-1 first ones to the max size limit to use the buffer space
efficiently, and the Nth one with whatever data that is left. This
goes on until we have filled in at the most BATCH_SIZE worth of
descriptors and fragments. If we detect that the next packet would
lead to BATCH_SIZE number of fragments sent being exceeded, we do not
send this packet and finish the batch. This packet is instead sent in
the next iteration of BATCH_SIZE fragments.
For Rx, we loop over all fragments we receive as usual, but for every
descriptor that we receive we call a new validation function called
is_frag_valid() to validate the consistency of this fragment. The code
then checks if the packet continues in the next frame. If so, it loops
over the next packet and performs the same validation. once we have
received the last fragment of the packet we also call the function
is_pkt_valid() to validate the packet as a whole. If we get to the end
of the batch and we are not at the end of the current packet, we back
out the partial packet and end the loop. Once we get into the receive
loop next time, we start over from the beginning of that packet. This
so the code becomes simpler at the cost of some performance.
The validation function is_frag_valid() checks that the sequence and
packet numbers are correct at the start and end of each fragment.

Most of this patch is about actually supporting XDP_TX action. Pure Tx
ZC support is only about looking at XDP_PKT_CONTD presence at options
field and based on that generating EOP bit on Tx HW descriptor. This is
that simple due to the implementation on
xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() where we are making sure that last
produced descriptor is an EOP one.
Overwrite xdp_zc_max_segs with a value that defines max scatter-gatter

descriptor will be checked if it is an EOP one or not and act
accordingly to that.
Change the behavior of mentioned function to break the processing when
stumbling upon invalid descriptor instead of skipping it. Furthermore,
let us give only full packets down to ZC driver.
With these two assumptions ZC drivers will not have to take care of an
intermediate state of incomplete frames, which will simplify its

This patch is inspired from the multi-buffer support in non-zc path for
i40e as well as from the patch to support zc on ice. Each subsequent
frag is added to skb_shared_info of the first frag for possible xdp_prog
use as well to xsk buffer list for accessing the buffers in af_xdp.
For XDP_PASS, new pages are allocated for frags and contents are copied
from memory backed by xsk_buff_pool.
Replace next_to_clean with next_to_process as done in non-zc path and
advance it for every buffer and change the semantics of next_to_clean to
point to the first buffer of a packet. Driver will use next_to_process
in the same way next_to_clean was used previously.
For the non multi-buffer case, next_to_process and next_to_clean will
always be the same since each packet consists of a single buffer.

This support is strongly inspired by work that introduced multi-buffer
support to regular Rx data path in ice. There are some differences,
though. When adding a frag, besides adding it to skb_shared_info, use
also fresh xsk_buff_add_frag() helper. Reason for doing both things is
that we can not rule out the fact that AF_XDP pipeline could use XDP
program that needs to access frame fragments. Without them being in
skb_shared_info it will not be possible. Another difference is that
XDP_PASS has to allocate a new pages for each frags and copy contents
from memory backed by xsk_buff_pool.
chain_len that is used for programming HW Rx descriptors no longer has
to be limited to 1 when xsk_pool is present - remove this restriction.

Given that skb_shared_info relies on skb_frag_t, in order to support
xskb chaining, introduce xdp_buff_xsk::xskb_list_node and
xsk_buff_pool::xskb_list.
This is needed so ZC drivers can add frags as xskb nodes which will make
it possible to handle it both when producing AF_XDP Rx descriptors as
well as freeing/recycling all the frags that a single frame carries.
Speaking of latter, update xsk_buff_free() to take care of list nodes.
For the former (adding as frags), introduce xsk_buff_add_frag() for ZC
drivers usage that is going to be used to add a frag to xskb list from
pool.
xsk_buff_get_frag() will be utilized by XDP_TX and, on contrary, will
return xdp_buff.
One of the previous patches added a wrapper for ZC Rx so implement xskb
list walk and production of Rx descriptors there.

For transmitting an AF_XDP packet, allocate skb while processing the
first desc and copy data to it. The 'XDP_PKT_CONTD' flag in 'options'
field of the desc indicates the EOP status of the packet. If the current
desc is not EOP, store the skb, release the current desc and go
on to read the next descs.
Allocate a page for each subsequent desc, copy data to it and add it as
a frag in the skb stored in xsk. On processing EOP, transmit the skb
with frags. Addresses contained in descs have been already queued in
consumer queue and skb destructor updated the completion count.
On transmit failure cancel the releases, clear the descs from the
completion queue and consume the skb for retrying packet transmission.
For any invalid descriptor (invalid length/address/options) in the middle
of a packet, all pending descriptors will be dropped by xsk core along
with the invalid one and the next descriptor is treated as the start of
a new packet.
Maximum supported frames for a packet is MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1. If it is
exceeded, all descriptors accumulated so far are dropped.

will simply test XDP_PKT_CONTD from xdp_desc::options, but in order to
preserve drivers default behavior, introduce an interface for ZC drivers
that will negate xp_mb_desc() result and therefore make it easier to

In Tx path, xsk core reserves space for each desc to be transmitted in
the completion queue and it's address contained in it is stored in the
skb destructor arg. After successful transmission the skb destructor
submits the addr marking completion.
To handle multiple descriptors per packet, now along with reserving
space for each descriptor, the corresponding address is also stored in
completion queue. The number of pending descriptors are stored in skb
destructor arg and is used by the skb destructor to update completions.
Introduce 'skb' in xdp_sock to store a partially built packet when
__xsk_generic_xmit() must return before it sees the EOP descriptor for
the current packet so that packet building can resume in next call of
__xsk_generic_xmit().

Add multi-buffer support for AF_XDP by extending the XDP multi-buffer
support to be reflected in user-space when a packet is redirected to
an AF_XDP socket.
In the XDP implementation, the NIC driver builds the xdp_buff from the
first frag of the packet and adds any subsequent frags in the skb_shinfo
area of the xdp_buff. In AF_XDP core, XDP buffers are allocated from
xdp_sock's pool and data is copied from the driver's xdp_buff and frags.
Once an allocated XDP buffer is full and there is still data to be
copied, the 'XDP_PKT_CONTD' flag in'options' field of the corresponding
xdp ring descriptor is set and passed to the application. When application
sees the aforementioned flag set it knows there is pending data for this
packet that will be carried in the following descriptors. If there is no
more data to be copied, the flag in 'options' field is cleared for that
descriptor signalling EOP to the application.
If application reads a batch of descriptors using for example the libxdp
interfaces, it is not guaranteed that the batch will end with a full
packet. It might end in the middle of a packet and the rest of the frames
of that packet will arrive at the beginning of the next batch.
AF_XDP ensures that only a complete packet (along with all its frags) is
sent to application.

Currently, __xsk_rcv_zc() is a function that is responsible for
producing AF_XDP Rx descriptors. It is used by both copy and zero-copy
mode. Both of these modes are going to differ when multi-buffer support
is going to be added. ZC will work on a chain of xdp_buff_xsk structs
whereas copy-mode is going to utilize skb_shared_info contents. This
means that ZC-specific changes would affect the copy mode.
Let's modify __xsk_rcv_zc() to work directly on xdp_buff_xsk so the
callsites have to retrieve this from xdp_buff. Also, introduce
xsk_rcv_zc() which will carry all the needed later changes for
supporting multi-buffer on ZC side that do not apply to copy mode.

As of now xsk core drops any xdp_buff with data size greater than the
xsk frame_size as set by the af_xdp application. With multi-buffer
support introduced in the next patch xsk core can now split those
buffers into multiple descriptors provided the af_xdp application can
handle them. Such capability of the application needs to be independent
of the xdp_prog's frag support capability since there are cases where
even a single xdp_buffer may need to be split into multiple descriptors
owing to a smaller xsk frame size.
For e.g., with NIC rx_buffer size set to 4kB, a 3kB packet will
constitute of a single buffer and so will be sent as such to AF_XDP layer
irrespective of 'xdp.frags' capability of the XDP program. Now if the xsk
frame size is set to 2kB by the AF_XDP application, then the packet will
need to be split into 2 descriptors if AF_XDP application can handle
multi-buffer, else it needs to be dropped.
Applications can now advertise their frag handling capability to xsk core
so that xsk core can decide if it should drop or split xdp_buffs that
exceed xsk frame size. This is done using a new 'XSK_USE_SG' bind flag
for the xdp socket.

Use the 'options' field in xdp_desc as a packet continuity marker. Since
'options' field was unused till now and was expected to be set to 0, the

will have to set it to 1. This ensures legacy applications continue to

The current selftests infrastructure formats the results in TAP 13. This

MPTCP selftests run hundreds of various subtests. It is then important

It is particularly interesting to do that when validating stable kernels
with the last version of the test suite: tests might fail because a
feature is not supported but the test didn't skip that part. In this
case, if subtests are not tracked, the whole selftest will be marked as
failed making the other subtests useless because their results are
ignored.
Regarding this patch set:
- The two first patches modify connect and userspace_pm selftests to
continue executing other tests if there is an error before the end.
This is what is done in the other MPTCP selftests.
- Patches 3-5 are refactoring the code in userspace_pm selftest to
reduce duplicated code, suppress some shellcheck warnings and prepare
subtests' support by using new helpers.
- Patch 6 adds new helpers in mptcp_lib.sh to easily support printing
the subtests results in the different MPTCP selftests.
- Patch 7-13 format subtests results in TAP 13 in the different MPTCP
selftests.
