The commit log is too scarce for details... So questions: - Did you test with changing the number of channels after xdp prog is loaded? That was the recent bug that Brenden fixed. - does it still have 256 tx queue limit or xdp tx rings can go over? - Any performance implications ? Brenden, could you please review this patch?
