Ok, I don't have a xgmac device either. Only stm32mp{1,2}, imx8mp and Intel
Elkhart Lake.

So, I've been looking into this TBS thingy and have a patch set for it. However,
there's one other issue which might be worth fixing first: When opening an
AF_XDP/ZC socket the kernel crashes rarely. Stacktrace see below. Seems like the
kernel is sending packets while the XSK socket is being configured.

Looking at stmmac_xdp_enable_pool(), there's napi_disable() and
stmmac_disable_tx_queue(). However, don't we miss something like
netif_tx_stop_queue() or synchronize_net()?

Also stmmac_enable_tx_queue() is of type void, but does memory allocations which
can fail. Shouldn't that function report the errors to the callers? ;-)

Thanks,
Kurt
