With the original 'use_cni' implementation, (using a
hardcoded socket rather than a configurable one),
if a DPDK pod is requesting multiple net devices
and these devices are from different pools, then
the container attempts to mount all the netdev UDSes
in the pod as /tmp/afxdp.sock. Which means that at best
only 1 netdev will handshake correctly with the AF_XDP
DP. This patch addresses this by making the socket
parameter configurable using a new vdev param called
'uds_path' and removing the previous 'use_cni' param.
This patch also fixes incorrect references to the
AF_XDP DP as CNI and updates the documentation with a
working example. This change has been tested with the
AF_XDP DP PR 81, with both single and multiple interfaces.

v5:
* Fix alignment for ETH_AF_XDP_USE_DP_UDS_PATH_ARG
* Remove use_cni references in af_xdp.rst

v4:
* Rename af_xdp_cni.rst to af_xdp_dp.rst
* Removed all incorrect references to CNI throughout af_xdp
  PMD file.
* Fixed Typos in af_xdp_dp.rst

v3:
* Remove `use_cni` vdev argument as it's no longer needed.
* Update incorrect CNI references for the AF_XDP DP in the
  documentation.
* Update the documentation to run a simple example with the
  AF_XDP DP plugin in K8s.

v2:
* Rename sock_path to uds_path.
* Update documentation to reflect when CAP_BPF is needed.
* Fix testpmd arguments in the provided example for Pods.
* Use AF_XDP API to update the xskmap entry.

Thanks for the changes. LGTM.

Reviewed-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>

Would like to wait for Shibin to review this latest patch before it's considered for merging as I know he had some feedback on earlier versions.

Thanks,
Ciara

-Using a CNI with the AF_XDP driver
-==================================
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-CNI, the Container Network Interface, is a technology for configuring
-container network interfaces
-and which can be used to setup Kubernetes networking.
-AF_XDP is a Linux socket Address Family that enables an XDP program
-to redirect packets to a memory buffer in userspace.
-
-This document explains how to enable the `AF_XDP Plugin for Kubernetes`_ within
-a DPDK application using the :doc:`../nics/af_xdp` to connect and use these technologies.
-
-.. _AF_XDP Plugin for Kubernetes: https://github.com/intel/afxdp-plugins-for-kubernetes
-
-
-Background
-----------
-
-The standard :doc:`../nics/af_xdp` initialization process involves loading an eBPF program
-onto the kernel netdev to be used by the PMD.
-This operation requires root or escalated Linux privileges
-and thus prevents the PMD from working in an unprivileged container.
-The AF_XDP CNI plugin handles this situation
-by providing a device plugin that performs the program loading.
-
-At a technical level the CNI opens a Unix Domain Socket and listens for a client
-to make requests over that socket.
-A DPDK application acting as a client connects and initiates a configuration "handshake".
-The client then receives a file descriptor which points to the XSKMAP
-associated with the loaded eBPF program.
-The XSKMAP is a BPF map of AF_XDP sockets (XSK).
-The client can then proceed with creating an AF_XDP socket
-and inserting that socket into the XSKMAP pointed to by the descriptor.
-
-The EAL vdev argument ``use_cni`` is used to indicate that the user wishes
-to run the PMD in unprivileged mode and to receive the XSKMAP file descriptor
-from the CNI.
-When this flag is set,
-the ``XSK_LIBBPF_FLAGS__INHIBIT_PROG_LOAD`` libbpf flag
-should be used when creating the socket
-to instruct libbpf not to load the default libbpf program on the netdev.
-Instead the loading is handled by the CNI.
-
-.. note::
-
-   The Unix Domain Socket file path appear in the end user is "/tmp/afxdp.sock".
-
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-Docker and container prerequisites:
-
-* Set up the device plugin
-  as described in the instructions for `AF_XDP Plugin for Kubernetes`_.
-
-* The Docker image should contain the libbpf and libxdp libraries,
-  which are dependencies for AF_XDP,
-  and should include support for the ``ethtool`` command.
-
-* The Pod should have enabled the capabilities ``CAP_NET_RAW`` and ``CAP_BPF``
-  for AF_XDP along with support for hugepages.
-
-* Increase locked memory limit so containers have enough memory for packet buffers.
-  For example:
-
-  .. code-block:: console
-
-     cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/containerd.service.d/limits.conf
-     [Service]
-     LimitMEMLOCK=infinity
-     EOF
-
-* dpdk-testpmd application should have AF_XDP feature enabled.
-
-  For further information see the docs for the: :doc:`../../nics/af_xdp`.
-

+Using the AF_XDP Device Plugin with the AF_XDP driver
+======================================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The `AF_XDP Device Plugin for Kubernetes`_ is a project that provisions
+and advertises interfaces (that can be used with AF_XDP) to Kubernetes.
+The project also includes a `CNI`_.
+
+AF_XDP is a Linux socket Address Family that enables an XDP program
+to redirect packets to a memory buffer in userspace.
+
+This document explains how to use the `AF_XDP Device Plugin for Kubernetes`_ with
+a DPDK :doc:`../nics/af_xdp` based application running in a Pod.
+
+.. _AF_XDP Device Plugin for Kubernetes: https://github.com/intel/afxdp-plugins-for-kubernetes
+.. _CNI: https://github.com/containernetworking/cni
+
+Background
+----------
+
+The standard :doc:`../nics/af_xdp` initialization process involves
+loading an eBPF program onto the Kernel netdev to be used by the PMD.
+This operation requires root or escalated Linux privileges and prevents
+the PMD from working in an unprivileged container. The AF_XDP Device Plugin (DP)
+addresses this situation by providing an entity that manages eBPF program
+lifecycle for Pod interfaces that wish to use AF_XDP, this in turn allows
+the pod to be used without privilege escalation.
+
+In order for the pod to run without privilege escalation, the AF_XDP DP
+creates a Unix Domain Socket (UDS) and listens for Pods to make requests
+for XSKMAP(s) File Descriptors (FDs) for interfaces in their network namespace.
+In other words, the DPDK application running in the Pod connects to this UDS and
+initiates a "handshake" to retrieve the XSKMAP(s) FD(s). Upon a successful "handshake",
+the DPDK application receives the FD(s) for the XSKMAP(s) associated with the relevant
+netdevs. The DPDK application can then create the AF_XDP socket(s), and attach
+the socket(s) to the netdev queue(s) by inserting the socket(s) into the XSKMAP(s).
+
+The EAL vdev argument ``uds_path`` is used to indicate that the user
+wishes to run the AF_XDP PMD in unprivileged mode and to receive the XSKMAP
+FD from the AF_XDP DP. When this param is used, the
+``XSK_LIBBPF_FLAGS__INHIBIT_PROG_LOAD`` libbpf flag is used when creating the
+AF_XDP socket to instruct libbpf/libxdp not to load the default eBPF redirect
+program for AF_XDP on the netdev. Instead the lifecycle management of the eBPF
+program is handled by the AF_XDP DP.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The UDS file path inside the pod appears at "/tmp/afxdp_dp/<netdev>/afxdp.sock".
+
+Prerequisites

+
+Device Plugin and DPDK container prerequisites:
+
+* Create a DPDK container image.
+
+* Set up the device plugin and prepare the Pod Spec as described in
