That would fix the "until next reboot" issue, but would still render
bpf_clear_redirect_map() useless. So you still need to check ri->map and
if you do that you don't actually need to clear the flag field as long
as it is set correctly whenever the map pointer is.

The ri->exclude_ingress would be *instead* of the flags field. You could
of course also just keep the flags field, but turning it into a bool
makes it obvious that only one of the bits is actually used (and thus
easier to see that it's correct to not clear it).

In which case they can add it back at that time :)

Yeah, that's what I meant, but when you type it out that does seem like
a bit too many checks.

However, I think we can do something different: Since Björn has
helpfully split out the helper functions for the different map types, we
can add another argument to __bpf_xdp_redirect_map() which is the mask
of valid flag values. With this, dev_{hash_,}map_redirect() can include
BPF_F_REDIR_MASK in the valid flags, and {xsk,cpu}_map_redirect() can
leave them out. That makes the code do the right thing without actually
adding any more checks in the fast path :)

(You'd still need to AND the return value with BPF_F_ACTION_MASK when
returning, of course).
