I fully agree.
How should we handle existing config interfaces?
Let me give some concrete examples. Today there are multiple existing
interfaces to enable/disable NIC hardware features that change what is
available to put in our BTF-layout.
E.g. changing if VLAN is in descriptor:
# ethtool -K ixgbe1 rx-vlan-offload off
# ethtool -k ixgbe1 | grep vlan-offload
rx-vlan-offload: off
tx-vlan-offload: on
The timestamping features can be listed by ethtool -T (see below
signature), but it is a socket option that enable[1] these
(see SO_TIMESTAMPNS or SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE).
Or tuning RSS hash fields:
[2] https://github.com/stackpath/rxtxcpu/blob/master/Documentation/case-studies/observing-rss-on-ixgbe-advanced-rss-configuration-rss-hash-fields.md
I assume we need to stay compatible and respect the existing config
interfaces, right?
Should we simple leverage existing interfaces?
E.g. tcpdump --time-stamp-type=adapter_unsynced could simple enable the
BTF-layout that contains the RX-timestamp. This would make it avail to
XDP/AF_XDP and the xdp_frame can also create a SKB with the timestamp.
