Thanks for finding this and working on this.

Have you reproduced it in wild, or this just comes out of static analysis?

I'm asking because looking into the flow you described - it looks like XDP
mode should immediately fail with null pointer access on any rx traffic.
But that was never reported.

I will try to debug and validate the fix, but this may take some time.

So for now
