Maxim, this doesn't address the uapi concern we had on your v2.
Please refer to Magnus' comment here [1].

Please educate me why you cannot publish AF_XDP without the uapi change?
It's an extension, right? If so, then existing XDP/AF_XDP program can
use Mellanox ZC without your addition? It's great that Mellanox has a ZC
capable driver, but the uapi change is a NAK.

To reiterate; We'd like to get the queue setup/steering for AF_XDP
correct. I, and Magnus, dislike this approach. It requires a more
complicated XDP program, and is hard for regular users to understand.


Thanks,
Björn
