"We are working on a high performance networking solution with real
customers. That solution is being developed using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
distro release and the distro kernel (lowlatency flavour). This
“dma_buf” patchset consists of upstreamed patches that allow buffers to
be shared between drivers thus enhancing performance while reducing
copying of data.
Our team is currently engaged in the development of a high-performance
networking solution tailored to meet the demands of real-world
customers. This cutting-edge solution is being crafted on the foundation
of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, utilizing the distribution's kernel, specifically
the lowlatency flavor.
At the heart of our innovation lies the transformative "dma_buf"
patchset, comprising a series of patches that have been integrated into
the upstream kernel in 5.16 and 5.17. These patches introduce a
groundbreaking capability: enabling the seamless sharing of buffers
among various drivers. This not only bolsters the solution's performance
but also minimizes the need for data copying, effectively enhancing
efficiency across the board.
The new functionality is isolated such that existing user will not
execute these new code paths."
