Hi, This set is another approach towards addressing the below issue: // load xdp prog and xskmap and add entry to xskmap at idx 10 $ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 10 // add entry to xskmap at idx 11 $ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 11 terminate one of the processes and another one is unable to work due to the fact that the XDP prog was unloaded from interface. Previous attempt was, to put it mildly, a bit broken, as there was no synchronization between updates to additional map, as Bjorn pointed out. See https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20190603131907.13395-5-maciej.fijalkowski@xxxxxxxxx/ In the meantime bpf_link was introduced and it seems that it can address the issue of refcounting the XDP prog on interface. More info on commit messages. Thanks.
