I'll give it a few more hours incase anyone has comments before I
resend, but I got something working (tested on kernels with and
without XDP sockets).
xdp_helper returns -1 if (errno == EAFNOSUPPORT). All other error
cases return 1.
Updated the python to do this:
if xdp.returncode == 255:
raise KsftSkipEx('AF_XDP unsupported')
elif xdp.returncode > 0:
raise KsftFailEx('unable to create AF_XDP socket')
Which seems to work on both types of kernels?
Happy to take feedback; will hold off on respinning for a bit just
incase there's a better way I don't know about.
