468 With multi-buffer support, programs using AF_XDP sockets can receive

483 To enable multi-buffer support for an AF_XDP socket, use the new bind
484 flag XDP_USE_SG. If this is not provided, all multi-buffer packets
486 needs to be in multi-buffer mode. This can be accomplished by using
493 of the packet. Why the reverse logic of end-of-packet (eop) flag found
494 in many NICs? Just to preserve compatibility with non-multi-buffer

631 Here is a simple Rx path pseudo-code example (using libxdp interfaces

661 *xsk_ring_prod__fill_addr(&xsk->umem->fq, idx_fq++) = desc->addr;
664 xsk_ring_prod__submit(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd);
665 xsk_ring_cons__release(&xsk->rx, rcvd);
668 Usage Multi-Buffer Tx
669 ---------------------
671 Here is an example Tx path pseudo-code (using libxdp interfaces for
676 .. code-block:: c

692 tx_desc = xsk_ring_prod__tx_desc(&xsk->tx, idx + i++);
