xdp_return_buff() is used when frame has been successfully handled (transmitted) or if an error occurred during delayed processing and there is no way to report it back to xdp_do_redirect().
In case of __xsk_rcv_zc() error is propagated all the way back to the driver, so there is no need to call xdp_return_buff(). Driver will recycle the frame anyway after seeing that error happened. Fixes: 173d3adb6f43 ("xsk: add zero-copy support for Rx") Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicin...@netronome.com> --- Patch could as well be applied to bpf-next, since there are no drivers for AF_XDP in tree, yet. xdp_umem_get_dma() and xdp_umem_get_data() are not even exported. But one could reimplent those... As I mentioned I think this makes the entire MEM_TYPE_ZERO_COPY allocator handling dead code now :( net/xdp/xsk.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/xdp/xsk.c b/net/xdp/xsk.c index 72335c2e8108..4e937cd7c17d 100644 --- a/net/xdp/xsk.c +++ b/net/xdp/xsk.c @@ -84,10 +84,8 @@ static int __xsk_rcv_zc(struct xdp_sock *xs, struct xdp_buff *xdp, u32 len) { int err = xskq_produce_batch_desc(xs->rx, (u64)xdp->handle, len); - if (err) { - xdp_return_buff(xdp); + if (err) xs->rx_dropped++; - } return err; } -- 2.17.1
