+AF_XDP
+======
+
+Overview
+========
+
+AF_XDP is an address family that is optimized for high performance
+packet processing.
+
+This document assumes that the reader is familiar with BPF and XDP. If
+not, the Cilium project has an excellent reference guide at
+http://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bpf/.
+
+Using the XDP_REDIRECT action from an XDP program, the program can
+redirect ingress frames to other XDP enabled netdevs, using the
+bpf_redirect_map() function. AF_XDP sockets enable the possibility for
+XDP programs to redirect frames to a memory buffer in a user-space
+application.
+
+An AF_XDP socket (XSK) is created with the normal socket()
+syscall. Associated with each XSK are two rings: the RX ring and the
+TX ring. A socket can receive packets on the RX ring and it can send
+packets on the TX ring. These rings are registered and sized with the
+setsockopts XDP_RX_RING and XDP_TX_RING, respectively. It is mandatory
+to have at least one of these rings for each socket. An RX or TX
+descriptor ring points to a data buffer in a memory area called a
+UMEM. RX and TX can share the same UMEM so that a packet does not have
+to be copied between RX and TX. Moreover, if a packet needs to be kept
+for a while due to a possible retransmit, the descriptor that points
+to that packet can be changed to point to another and reused right
+away. This again avoids copying data.
+
+The UMEM consists of a number of equally sized chunks. A descriptor in
+one of the rings references a frame by referencing its addr. The addr
+is simply an offset within the entire UMEM region. The user space
+allocates memory for this UMEM using whatever means it feels is most
+appropriate (malloc, mmap, huge pages, etc). This memory area is then
+registered with the kernel using the new setsockopt XDP_UMEM_REG. The
+UMEM also has two rings: the FILL ring and the COMPLETION ring. The
+FILL ring is used by the application to send down addr for the kernel
+to fill in with RX packet data. References to these frames will then
+appear in the RX ring once each packet has been received. The
+COMPLETION ring, on the other hand, contains frame addr that the
+kernel has transmitted completely and can now be used again by user
+space, for either TX or RX. Thus, the frame addrs appearing in the
+COMPLETION ring are addrs that were previously transmitted using the
+TX ring. In summary, the RX and FILL rings are used for the RX path
+and the TX and COMPLETION rings are used for the TX path.
+
+The socket is then finally bound with a bind() call to a device and a
+specific queue id on that device, and it is not until bind is
+completed that traffic starts to flow.
+
+The UMEM can be shared between processes, if desired. If a process
+wants to do this, it simply skips the registration of the UMEM and its
+corresponding two rings, sets the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag in the bind
+call and submits the XSK of the process it would like to share UMEM
+with as well as its own newly created XSK socket. The new process will
+then receive frame addr references in its own RX ring that point to
+this shared UMEM. Note that since the ring structures are
+single-consumer / single-producer (for performance reasons), the new
+process has to create its own socket with associated RX and TX rings,
+since it cannot share this with the other process. This is also the
+reason that there is only one set of FILL and COMPLETION rings per
+UMEM. It is the responsibility of a single process to handle the UMEM.
+
+How is then packets distributed from an XDP program to the XSKs? There
+is a BPF map called XSKMAP (or BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP in full). The
+user-space application can place an XSK at an arbitrary place in this
+map. The XDP program can then redirect a packet to a specific index in
+this map and at this point XDP validates that the XSK in that map was
+indeed bound to that device and ring number. If not, the packet is
+dropped. If the map is empty at that index, the packet is also
+dropped. This also means that it is currently mandatory to have an XDP
+program loaded (and one XSK in the XSKMAP) to be able to get any
+traffic to user space through the XSK.
+
+AF_XDP can operate in two different modes: XDP_SKB and XDP_DRV. If the
+driver does not have support for XDP, or XDP_SKB is explicitly chosen
+when loading the XDP program, XDP_SKB mode is employed that uses SKBs
+together with the generic XDP support and copies out the data to user
+space. A fallback mode that works for any network device. On the other
+hand, if the driver has support for XDP, it will be used by the AF_XDP
+code to provide better performance, but there is still a copy of the
+data into user space.
+
+Concepts
+========
+
+In order to use an AF_XDP socket, a number of associated objects need
+to be setup. These objects and their options are explained in the
+following sections.
+
+For an overview on how AF_XDP works, you can also take a look at the
+Linux Plumbers paper from 2018 on the subject:
+http://vger.kernel.org/lpc_net2018_talks/lpc18_paper_af_xdp_perf-v2.pdf. Do
+NOT consult the paper from 2017 on "AF_PACKET v4", the first attempt
+at AF_XDP. Nearly everything changed since then. Jonathan Corbet has
+also written an excellent article on LWN, "Accelerating networking
+with AF_XDP". It can be found at https://lwn.net/Articles/750845/.
+
+UMEM
+----
+
+UMEM is a region of virtual contiguous memory, divided into
+equal-sized frames. An UMEM is associated to a netdev and a specific
+queue id of that netdev. It is created and configured (chunk size,
+headroom, start address and size) by using the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt
+system call. A UMEM is bound to a netdev and queue id, via the bind()
+system call.
+
+An AF_XDP is socket linked to a single UMEM, but one UMEM can have
+multiple AF_XDP sockets. To share an UMEM created via one socket A,
+the next socket B can do this by setting the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag in
+struct sockaddr_xdp member sxdp_flags, and passing the file descriptor
+of A to struct sockaddr_xdp member sxdp_shared_umem_fd.
+
+The UMEM has two single-producer/single-consumer rings that are used
+to transfer ownership of UMEM frames between the kernel and the
+user-space application.
+
+Rings
+-----
+
+There are a four different kind of rings: FILL, COMPLETION, RX and
+TX. All rings are single-producer/single-consumer, so the user-space
+application need explicit synchronization of multiple
+processes/threads are reading/writing to them.
+
+The UMEM uses two rings: FILL and COMPLETION. Each socket associated
+with the UMEM must have an RX queue, TX queue or both. Say, that there
+is a setup with four sockets (all doing TX and RX). Then there will be
+one FILL ring, one COMPLETION ring, four TX rings and four RX rings.
+
+The rings are head(producer)/tail(consumer) based rings. A producer
+writes the data ring at the index pointed out by struct xdp_ring
+producer member, and increasing the producer index. A consumer reads
+the data ring at the index pointed out by struct xdp_ring consumer
+member, and increasing the consumer index.
+
+The rings are configured and created via the _RING setsockopt system
+calls and mmapped to user-space using the appropriate offset to mmap()
+(XDP_PGOFF_RX_RING, XDP_PGOFF_TX_RING, XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_RING and
+XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_COMPLETION_RING).
+
+The size of the rings need to be of size power of two.
+
+UMEM Fill Ring
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The FILL ring is used to transfer ownership of UMEM frames from
+user-space to kernel-space. The UMEM addrs are passed in the ring. As
+an example, if the UMEM is 64k and each chunk is 4k, then the UMEM has
+16 chunks and can pass addrs between 0 and 64k.
+
+Frames passed to the kernel are used for the ingress path (RX rings).
+
+The user application produces UMEM addrs to this ring. Note that, if
+running the application with aligned chunk mode, the kernel will mask
+the incoming addr.  E.g. for a chunk size of 2k, the log2(2048) LSB of
+the addr will be masked off, meaning that 2048, 2050 and 3000 refers
+to the same chunk. If the user application is run in the unaligned
+chunks mode, then the incoming addr will be left untouched.
+
+
+UMEM Completion Ring
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The COMPLETION Ring is used transfer ownership of UMEM frames from
+kernel-space to user-space. Just like the FILL ring, UMEM indices are
+used.
+
+Frames passed from the kernel to user-space are frames that has been
+sent (TX ring) and can be used by user-space again.
+
+The user application consumes UMEM addrs from this ring.
+
+
+RX Ring
+~~~~~~~
+
+The RX ring is the receiving side of a socket. Each entry in the ring
+is a struct xdp_desc descriptor. The descriptor contains UMEM offset
+(addr) and the length of the data (len).
+
+If no frames have been passed to kernel via the FILL ring, no
+descriptors will (or can) appear on the RX ring.
+
+The user application consumes struct xdp_desc descriptors from this
+ring.
+
+TX Ring
+~~~~~~~
+
+The TX ring is used to send frames. The struct xdp_desc descriptor is
+filled (index, length and offset) and passed into the ring.
+
+To start the transfer a sendmsg() system call is required. This might
+be relaxed in the future.
+
+The user application produces struct xdp_desc descriptors to this
+ring.
+
+Libbpf
+======
+
+Libbpf is a helper library for eBPF and XDP that makes using these
+technologies a lot simpler. It also contains specific helper functions
+in tools/lib/bpf/xsk.h for facilitating the use of AF_XDP. It
+contains two types of functions: those that can be used to make the
+setup of AF_XDP socket easier and ones that can be used in the data
+plane to access the rings safely and quickly. To see an example on how
+to use this API, please take a look at the sample application in
+samples/bpf/xdpsock_usr.c which uses libbpf for both setup and data
+plane operations.
+
+We recommend that you use this library unless you have become a power
+user. It will make your program a lot simpler.
+
+XSKMAP / BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP
+============================
+
+On XDP side there is a BPF map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP (XSKMAP) that
+is used in conjunction with bpf_redirect_map() to pass the ingress
+frame to a socket.
+
+The user application inserts the socket into the map, via the bpf()
+system call.
+
+Note that if an XDP program tries to redirect to a socket that does
+not match the queue configuration and netdev, the frame will be
+dropped. E.g. an AF_XDP socket is bound to netdev eth0 and
+queue 17. Only the XDP program executing for eth0 and queue 17 will
+successfully pass data to the socket. Please refer to the sample
+application (samples/bpf/) in for an example.
+
+Configuration Flags and Socket Options
+======================================
+
+These are the various configuration flags that can be used to control
+and monitor the behavior of AF_XDP sockets.
+
+XDP_COPY and XDP_ZEROCOPY bind flags
+------------------------------------
+
+When you bind to a socket, the kernel will first try to use zero-copy
+copy. If zero-copy is not supported, it will fall back on using copy
+mode, i.e. copying all packets out to user space. But if you would
+like to force a certain mode, you can use the following flags. If you
+pass the XDP_COPY flag to the bind call, the kernel will force the
+socket into copy mode. If it cannot use copy mode, the bind call will
+fail with an error. Conversely, the XDP_ZEROCOPY flag will force the
+socket into zero-copy mode or fail.
+
+XDP_SHARED_UMEM bind flag
+-------------------------
+
+This flag enables you to bind multiple sockets to the same UMEM. It
+works on the same queue id, between queue ids and between
+netdevs/devices. In this mode, each socket has their own RX and TX
+rings as usual, but you are going to have one or more FILL and
+COMPLETION ring pairs. You have to create one of these pairs per
+unique netdev and queue id tuple that you bind to.
+
+Starting with the case were we would like to share a UMEM between
+sockets bound to the same netdev and queue id. The UMEM (tied to the
+fist socket created) will only have a single FILL ring and a single
+COMPLETION ring as there is only on unique netdev,queue_id tuple that
+we have bound to. To use this mode, create the first socket and bind
+it in the normal way. Create a second socket and create an RX and a TX
+ring, or at least one of them, but no FILL or COMPLETION rings as the
+ones from the first socket will be used. In the bind call, set he
+XDP_SHARED_UMEM option and provide the initial socket's fd in the
+sxdp_shared_umem_fd field. You can attach an arbitrary number of extra
+sockets this way.
+
+What socket will then a packet arrive on? This is decided by the XDP
+program. Put all the sockets in the XSK_MAP and just indicate which
+index in the array you would like to send each packet to. A simple
+round-robin example of distributing packets is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   #include <linux/bpf.h>
+   #include "bpf_helpers.h"
+
+   #define MAX_SOCKS 16
+
+   struct {
+       __uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_XSKMAP);
+       __uint(max_entries, MAX_SOCKS);
+       __uint(key_size, sizeof(int));
+       __uint(value_size, sizeof(int));
+   } xsks_map SEC(".maps");
+
+   static unsigned int rr;
+
+   SEC("xdp_sock") int xdp_sock_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx)
+   {
+       rr = (rr + 1) & (MAX_SOCKS - 1);
+
+       return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, rr, XDP_DROP);
+   }
+
+Note, that since there is only a single set of FILL and COMPLETION
+rings, and they are single producer, single consumer rings, you need
+to make sure that multiple processes or threads do not use these rings
+concurrently. There are no synchronization primitives in the
+libbpf code that protects multiple users at this point in time.
+
+Libbpf uses this mode if you create more than one socket tied to the
+same UMEM. However, note that you need to supply the
+XSK_LIBBPF_FLAGS__INHIBIT_PROG_LOAD libbpf_flag with the
+xsk_socket__create calls and load your own XDP program as there is no
+built in one in libbpf that will route the traffic for you.
+
+The second case is when you share a UMEM between sockets that are
+bound to different queue ids and/or netdevs. In this case you have to
+create one FILL ring and one COMPLETION ring for each unique
+netdev,queue_id pair. Let us say you want to create two sockets bound
+to two different queue ids on the same netdev. Create the first socket
+and bind it in the normal way. Create a second socket and create an RX
+and a TX ring, or at least one of them, and then one FILL and
+COMPLETION ring for this socket. Then in the bind call, set he
+XDP_SHARED_UMEM option and provide the initial socket's fd in the
+sxdp_shared_umem_fd field as you registered the UMEM on that
+socket. These two sockets will now share one and the same UMEM.
+
+There is no need to supply an XDP program like the one in the previous
+case where sockets were bound to the same queue id and
+device. Instead, use the NIC's packet steering capabilities to steer
+the packets to the right queue. In the previous example, there is only
+one queue shared among sockets, so the NIC cannot do this steering. It
+can only steer between queues.
+
+In libbpf, you need to use the xsk_socket__create_shared() API as it
+takes a reference to a FILL ring and a COMPLETION ring that will be
+created for you and bound to the shared UMEM. You can use this
+function for all the sockets you create, or you can use it for the
+second and following ones and use xsk_socket__create() for the first
+one. Both methods yield the same result.
+
+Note that a UMEM can be shared between sockets on the same queue id
+and device, as well as between queues on the same device and between
+devices at the same time.
+
+XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP bind flag
+-----------------------------
+
+This option adds support for a new flag called need_wakeup that is
+present in the FILL ring and the TX ring, the rings for which user
+space is a producer. When this option is set in the bind call, the
+need_wakeup flag will be set if the kernel needs to be explicitly
+woken up by a syscall to continue processing packets. If the flag is
+zero, no syscall is needed.
+
+If the flag is set on the FILL ring, the application needs to call
+poll() to be able to continue to receive packets on the RX ring. This
+can happen, for example, when the kernel has detected that there are no
+more buffers on the FILL ring and no buffers left on the RX HW ring of
+the NIC. In this case, interrupts are turned off as the NIC cannot
+receive any packets (as there are no buffers to put them in), and the
+need_wakeup flag is set so that user space can put buffers on the
+FILL ring and then call poll() so that the kernel driver can put these
+buffers on the HW ring and start to receive packets.
+
+If the flag is set for the TX ring, it means that the application
+needs to explicitly notify the kernel to send any packets put on the
+TX ring. This can be accomplished either by a poll() call, as in the
+RX path, or by calling sendto().
+
+An example of how to use this flag can be found in
+samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c. An example with the use of libbpf helpers
+would look like this for the TX path:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   if (xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(&my_tx_ring))
+       sendto(xsk_socket__fd(xsk_handle), NULL, 0, MSG_DONTWAIT, NULL, 0);
+
+I.e., only use the syscall if the flag is set.
+
+We recommend that you always enable this mode as it usually leads to
+better performance especially if you run the application and the
+driver on the same core, but also if you use different cores for the
+application and the kernel driver, as it reduces the number of
+syscalls needed for the TX path.
+
+XDP_{RX|TX|UMEM_FILL|UMEM_COMPLETION}_RING setsockopts
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+These setsockopts sets the number of descriptors that the RX, TX,
+FILL, and COMPLETION rings respectively should have. It is mandatory
+to set the size of at least one of the RX and TX rings. If you set
+both, you will be able to both receive and send traffic from your
+application, but if you only want to do one of them, you can save
+resources by only setting up one of them. Both the FILL ring and the
+COMPLETION ring are mandatory as you need to have a UMEM tied to your
+socket. But if the XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag is used, any socket after the
+first one does not have a UMEM and should in that case not have any
+FILL or COMPLETION rings created as the ones from the shared UMEM will
+be used. Note, that the rings are single-producer single-consumer, so
+do not try to access them from multiple processes at the same
+time. See the XDP_SHARED_UMEM section.
+
+In libbpf, you can create Rx-only and Tx-only sockets by supplying
+NULL to the rx and tx arguments, respectively, to the
+xsk_socket__create function.
+
+If you create a Tx-only socket, we recommend that you do not put any
+packets on the fill ring. If you do this, drivers might think you are
+going to receive something when you in fact will not, and this can
+negatively impact performance.
+
+XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt
+-----------------------
+
+This setsockopt registers a UMEM to a socket. This is the area that
+contain all the buffers that packet can recide in. The call takes a
+pointer to the beginning of this area and the size of it. Moreover, it
+also has parameter called chunk_size that is the size that the UMEM is
+divided into. It can only be 2K or 4K at the moment. If you have an
+UMEM area that is 128K and a chunk size of 2K, this means that you
+will be able to hold a maximum of 128K / 2K = 64 packets in your UMEM
+area and that your largest packet size can be 2K.
+
+There is also an option to set the headroom of each single buffer in
+the UMEM. If you set this to N bytes, it means that the packet will
+start N bytes into the buffer leaving the first N bytes for the
+application to use. The final option is the flags field, but it will
+be dealt with in separate sections for each UMEM flag.
+
+SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt
+--------------------------
+
+This is a generic SOL_SOCKET option that can be used to tie AF_XDP
+socket to a particular network interface.  It is useful when a socket
+is created by a privileged process and passed to a non-privileged one.
+Once the option is set, kernel will refuse attempts to bind that socket
+to a different interface.  Updating the value requires CAP_NET_RAW.
+
+XDP_STATISTICS getsockopt
+-------------------------
+
+Gets drop statistics of a socket that can be useful for debug
+purposes. The supported statistics are shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct xdp_statistics {
+       __u64 rx_dropped; /* Dropped for reasons other than invalid desc */
+       __u64 rx_invalid_descs; /* Dropped due to invalid descriptor */
+       __u64 tx_invalid_descs; /* Dropped due to invalid descriptor */
+   };
+
+XDP_OPTIONS getsockopt
+----------------------
+
+Gets options from an XDP socket. The only one supported so far is
+XDP_OPTIONS_ZEROCOPY which tells you if zero-copy is on or not.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+In order to use AF_XDP sockets two parts are needed. The
+user-space application and the XDP program. For a complete setup and
+usage example, please refer to the sample application. The user-space
+side is xdpsock_user.c and the XDP side is part of libbpf.
+
+The XDP code sample included in tools/lib/bpf/xsk.c is the following:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   SEC("xdp_sock") int xdp_sock_prog(struct xdp_md *ctx)
+   {
+       int index = ctx->rx_queue_index;
+
+       // A set entry here means that the corresponding queue_id
+       // has an active AF_XDP socket bound to it.
+       if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&xsks_map, &index))
+           return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, 0);
+
+       return XDP_PASS;
+   }
+
+A simple but not so performance ring dequeue and enqueue could look
+like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    // struct xdp_rxtx_ring {
+    //     __u32 *producer;
+    //     __u32 *consumer;
+    //     struct xdp_desc *desc;
+    // };
+
+    // struct xdp_umem_ring {
+    //     __u32 *producer;
+    //     __u32 *consumer;
+    //     __u64 *desc;
+    // };
+
+    // typedef struct xdp_rxtx_ring RING;
+    // typedef struct xdp_umem_ring RING;
+
+    // typedef struct xdp_desc RING_TYPE;
+    // typedef __u64 RING_TYPE;
+
+    int dequeue_one(RING *ring, RING_TYPE *item)
+    {
+        __u32 entries = *ring->producer - *ring->consumer;
+
+        if (entries == 0)
+            return -1;
+
+        // read-barrier!
+
+        *item = ring->desc[*ring->consumer & (RING_SIZE - 1)];
+        (*ring->consumer)++;
+        return 0;
+    }
+
+    int enqueue_one(RING *ring, const RING_TYPE *item)
+    {
+        u32 free_entries = RING_SIZE - (*ring->producer - *ring->consumer);
+
+        if (free_entries == 0)
+            return -1;
+
+        ring->desc[*ring->producer & (RING_SIZE - 1)] = *item;
+
+        // write-barrier!
+
+        (*ring->producer)++;
+        return 0;
+    }
+
+But please use the libbpf functions as they are optimized and ready to
+use. Will make your life easier.
+
+Sample application
+==================
+
+There is a xdpsock benchmarking/test application included that
+demonstrates how to use AF_XDP sockets with private UMEMs. Say that
+you would like your UDP traffic from port 4242 to end up in queue 16,
+that we will enable AF_XDP on. Here, we use ethtool for this::
+
+      ethtool -N p3p2 rx-flow-hash udp4 fn
+      ethtool -N p3p2 flow-type udp4 src-port 4242 dst-port 4242 \
+          action 16
+
+Running the rxdrop benchmark in XDP_DRV mode can then be done
+using::
+
+      samples/bpf/xdpsock -i p3p2 -q 16 -r -N
+
+For XDP_SKB mode, use the switch "-S" instead of "-N" and all options
+can be displayed with "-h", as usual.
+
+This sample application uses libbpf to make the setup and usage of
+AF_XDP simpler. If you want to know how the raw uapi of AF_XDP is
+really used to make something more advanced, take a look at the libbpf
+code in tools/lib/bpf/xsk.[ch].
+
+FAQ
+=======
+
+Q: I am not seeing any traffic on the socket. What am I doing wrong?
+
+A: When a netdev of a physical NIC is initialized, Linux usually
+   allocates one RX and TX queue pair per core. So on a 8 core system,
+   queue ids 0 to 7 will be allocated, one per core. In the AF_XDP
+   bind call or the xsk_socket__create libbpf function call, you
+   specify a specific queue id to bind to and it is only the traffic
+   towards that queue you are going to get on you socket. So in the
+   example above, if you bind to queue 0, you are NOT going to get any
+   traffic that is distributed to queues 1 through 7. If you are
+   lucky, you will see the traffic, but usually it will end up on one
+   of the queues you have not bound to.
+
+   There are a number of ways to solve the problem of getting the
+   traffic you want to the queue id you bound to. If you want to see
+   all the traffic, you can force the netdev to only have 1 queue, queue
+   id 0, and then bind to queue 0. You can use ethtool to do this::
+
+     sudo ethtool -L <interface> combined 1
+
+   If you want to only see part of the traffic, you can program the
+   NIC through ethtool to filter out your traffic to a single queue id
+   that you can bind your XDP socket to. Here is one example in which
+   UDP traffic to and from port 4242 are sent to queue 2::
+
+     sudo ethtool -N <interface> rx-flow-hash udp4 fn
+     sudo ethtool -N <interface> flow-type udp4 src-port 4242 dst-port \
+     4242 action 2
+
+   A number of other ways are possible all up to the capabilities of
+   the NIC you have.
+
+Q: Can I use the XSKMAP to implement a switch betwen different umems
+   in copy mode?
+
+A: The short answer is no, that is not supported at the moment. The
+   XSKMAP can only be used to switch traffic coming in on queue id X
+   to sockets bound to the same queue id X. The XSKMAP can contain
+   sockets bound to different queue ids, for example X and Y, but only
+   traffic goming in from queue id Y can be directed to sockets bound
+   to the same queue id Y. In zero-copy mode, you should use the
+   switch, or other distribution mechanism, in your NIC to direct
+   traffic to the correct queue id and socket.
+
+Q: My packets are sometimes corrupted. What is wrong?
+
+A: Care has to be taken not to feed the same buffer in the UMEM into
+   more than one ring at the same time. If you for example feed the
+   same buffer into the FILL ring and the TX ring at the same time, the
+   NIC might receive data into the buffer at the same time it is
+   sending it. This will cause some packets to become corrupted. Same
+   thing goes for feeding the same buffer into the FILL rings
+   belonging to different queue ids or netdevs bound with the
+   XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag.
