Hi Fijalkowski Maciej,
Thanks for your comments.
"insert an empty packet" is a launch time trick to send a packet in
next Qbv cycle. The design is, the driver will still sending the
packet, even the empty packet insertion trick is fail (unable to
allocate). The intention of this patch set is to enable launch time
on XDP zero-copy data path, so I try not to change the original
behavior of launch time.
btw, do you think driver should drop the packet if something went
wrong with the launch time, like launch time offload not enabled,
launch time over horizon, empty packet insertion fail, etc?
If yes, then maybe i can submit another patch to change the behavior
of launch time and we can continue to discuss there.
