Subject: [PATCH bpf v3 2/2] bpf, xdp: move offload check into dev_xdp_install()
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:59:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425105942.223757-3-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260425105942.223757-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
bpf_xdp_link_update() calls dev_xdp_install() directly and bypasses
dev_xdp_attach(), so the offload check that lived in dev_xdp_attach()
does not apply. A user can create an XDP link in SKB or native mode
with a regular program and then replace it via BPF_LINK_UPDATE with an
offloaded program, whose bpf_func is bpf_prog_warn_on_exec(), tripping
the WARN on the first packet.
Move the check from dev_xdp_attach() into dev_xdp_install() so both
the attach path and the link update path are covered by a single check
at the actual install site.
Fixes: 026a4c28e1db3 ("bpf, xdp: Implement LINK_UPDATE for BPF XDP link")
