Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 2/3] bpf, xdp: move offload check into dev_xdp_install()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:06:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810050621.82035-3-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810050621.82035-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
bpf_xdp_link_update() calls dev_xdp_install() directly and skips
dev_xdp_attach(), so the checks in dev_xdp_attach() do not run. A user can
make an XDP link with a normal program and then swap in an offloaded or
device-bound program with BPF_LINK_UPDATE, which puts it on the software
path.
Move the three program checks (offloaded, bound to another device, and
device-bound in generic mode) from dev_xdp_attach() into
dev_xdp_install(), so both the attach path and the link update path are
covered.
Fixes: 026a4c28e1db3 ("bpf, xdp: Implement LINK_UPDATE for BPF XDP link")
