Add support for getting interface index from XDP context #1140
Comments
|
I'm promoting this to an issue from #1130 in part because I need this functionality for my toy project. I'm going to pull this feature from a fork for now, but I figure I'd offer it upstream as well. I will submit a PR shortly. If there is a legitimate reason for excluding that field in Aya, then my apologies -- I couldn't find much info on it. |

This change exposes the ifindex field from the underlying xdp_md data structure to the XdpContext in Aya. The ifindex represents the unique OS-provided index for a network interface. Fixes aya-rs#1140

The XdpContext's corresponding C
struct xdp_mddefined in the Linux headers underinclude/uapi/linux/bpf.hhas a fieldingress_ifindexwhich represents the interface index as determined by the OS. It would be nice if that was also available in Aya's XdpContext.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
