xsk: remove explicit ring structure from uapi
In this commit we remove the explicit ring structure from the the uapi. It is tricky for an uapi to depend on a certain L1 cache line size, since it can differ for variants of the same architecture. Now, we let the user application determine the offsets of the producer, consumer and descriptors by asking the socket via getsockopt. A typical flow would be (Rx ring): struct xdp_mmap_offsets off; struct xdp_desc *ring; u32 *prod, *cons; void *map; ... getsockopt(fd, SOL_XDP, XDP_MMAP_OFFSETS, &off, &optlen); map = mmap(NULL, off.rx.desc + NUM_DESCS * sizeof(struct xdp_desc), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_POPULATE, sfd, XDP_PGOFF_RX_RING); prod = map + off.rx.producer; cons = map + off.rx.consumer; ring = map + off.rx.desc; Signed-off-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn.topel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
