Subject: [xdp-hints] [PATCH bpf-next V2] xdp: bpf_xdp_metadata use NODEV for no device support
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 13:11:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <167663589722.1933643.15760680115820248363.stgit@firesoul> (raw)

With our XDP-hints kfunc approach, where individual drivers overload the
default implementation, it can be hard for API users to determine
whether or not the current device driver have this kfunc available.

Change the default implementations to use an errno (ENODEV), that
drivers shouldn't return, to make it possible for BPF runtime to
determine if bpf kfunc for xdp metadata isn't implemented by driver.

This is intended to ease supporting and troubleshooting setups. E.g.
when users on mailing list report -19 (ENODEV) as an error, then we can
immediately tell them their device driver is too old.
