Currently, excluding verifier, users are unable to obtain detailed error
information when issues occur in BPF syscall.
To overcome this limitation, bpf generic log is introduced to provide
error details similar to the verifier. This enhancement will enable the
reporting of error details along with the corresponding errno in BPF
syscall.
Essentially, bpf generic log functions as a mechanism similar to
netlink,
enabling the transmission of error messages to user space. This
mechanism greatly enhances the usability of BPF syscall by allowing
users to access comprehensive error messages instead of relying solely
on errno.
This patch specifically addresses the error reporting in
dev_xdp_attach()
. With this patch, the error messages will be transferred to user space
like the netlink approach. Hence, users will be able to check the error
message along with the errno.

Could we generalize the bpf_verifier_log infra and reuse bpf_log() helper
instead of adding something new?
Yes. It's possible to reuse the bpf_verifier_log infra and reuse bpf_log()
helper. I'll try this way:
#define BPF_LOG_USER BPF_LOG_LEVEL1 /* user log flag */
#define BPF_ULOG_WRITE(log_buf, log_size, fmt, ...) do { \
const char *____fmt = (fmt); \
struct bpf_verifier_log ____vlog; \
bpf_vlog_init(&____vlog, BPF_LOG_USER, log_buf, log_size); \
bpf_log(&____vlog, ____fmt,
##__VA_ARGS__); \
} while (0)
#endif /* _LINUX_BPF_H */

You cannot add this here, this breaks user space, you would have to
ad this under a xdp specific section inside the union.
Got it. I'll change it to avoid breaking user space.

Agree that this is a useful facility to have and propagate back here.
