    xdp: factor out common program/flags handling from drivers · 05296620
    Jakub Kicinski authored
    Basic operations drivers perform during xdp setup and query can
    be moved to helpers in the core.  Encapsulate program and flags
    into a structure and add helpers.  Note that the structure is
    intended as the "main" program information source in the driver.
    Most drivers will additionally place the program pointer in their
    fast path or ring structures.
    
    The helpers don't have a huge impact now, but they will
    decrease the code duplication when programs can be installed
    in HW and driver at the same time.  Encapsulating the basic
    operations in helpers will hopefully also reduce the number
    of changes to drivers which adopt them.
    
    Helpers could really be static inline, but they depend on
    definition of struct netdev_bpf which means they'd have
    to be placed in netdevice.h, an already 4500 line header.
