[PATCH net-next 2/3] xsk: honor XDP_TX_METADATA in zero-copy path

Stanislav Fomichev sdf.kernel at gmail.com
Mon Aug 10 11:47:52 PDT 2026


The zero-copy path reads TX metadata whenever the UMEM has metadata space,
even if the descriptor does not set XDP_TX_METADATA. Pass descriptor
options through the metadata helpers and ignore metadata unless the option
is set.

This does not change the existing per-WQE metadata handling for mlx5
MPWQEs, where the descriptor that starts a session configures offload state
shared by the batch. Supporting mixed metadata states within one MPWQE
requires a separate fix.

Fixes: 48eb03dd2630 ("xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support")
