When the XDP metadata area was used, it is expected that the same
metadata can also be accessed from TC, as can be read in the description
of the bpf_xdp_adjust_meta helper function. In the tun driver, this was
not yet implemented.

To make this work, the skb that is being built on XDP_PASS should know
of the current size of the metadata area. This is ensured by adding
calls to skb_metadata_set. For the tun_xdp_one code path, an additional
check is necessary to handle the case where the externally initialized
xdp_buff has no metadata support (xdp->data_meta == xdp->data + 1).

More information about this feature can be found in the commit message
of commit de8f3a83b0a0 ("bpf: add meta pointer for direct access").

The changes have conflicts with the commit 2506251e81d1 ("tun: Decouple vnet handling").

It is better to rebase the works onto the bpf-next/net,
i.e. the "net" branch instead of the "master" branch.

Alright, will do that. Should I send it as a v5 and still with "PATCH bpf-next"
in the header or something else?

That should do. The bpf CI should pick up the bpf-next/net if it fails to apply to the bpf-next/master because of the conflict mentioned above.

For patch 3, it should help to avoid the future merge conflict if the open_tuntap() is added a few lines above in the network_helpers.h. For patch 6, the "test_ns_" naming is not in bpf-next/net yet. Other tests in the same file is doing netns_new. May be just do the same and cleanup all at once of this file later.
