Queued up into the networking subsystem's "net-next" branch last week ahead of the Linux 6.14 kernel cycle is AF_XDP zero-copy support for the common Intel Gigabit Ethernet "IGB" driver. Other Intel networking drivers have already been making use of zero-copy support within the AF_XDP high performance packet processing code for years. All of the IGB driver patches for both AF_XDP zero-copy Tx and Rx support have been queued into net-next ahead of the Linux 6.14 merge window opening in the next week or two.
