[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH bpf-next 1/5] netlink: specs: Add XDP RX checksum capability to XDP metadata specs

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Tue Feb 10 17:21:47 UTC 2026


Introduce XDP RX checksum capability to XDP metadata specs. XDP RX
checksum will be use by devices capable of exposing receive checksum
result via bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum().
Moreover, introduce xmo_rx_checksum netdev callback in order allow the
eBPF program bounded to the device to retrieve the RX checksum result
computed by the hw NIC.
