I'd think so, worst case the driver can put xdp_md into a struct and container_of() to get to its own stack with whatever fields it needs. > Btw, do we also need to think about the redirect case?

If there is a program on Tx then it'd be trivial - just do the info <-> descriptor translation in the opposite direction than Rx. TBH I'm not sure how it'd be done in the current approach, either. Now I questioned the BTF way and mentioned the Tx-side program in a single thread, I better stop talking...
