Larysa Zaremba f46392ee3d bpftool: Specify XDP Hints ifname when loading program ... Add ability to specify a network interface used to resolve XDP hints kfuncs when loading program through bpftool. Usage: bpftool prog load [...] xdpmeta_dev <ifname> Writing just 'dev <ifname>' instead of 'xdpmeta_dev' is a very probable mistake that results in not very descriptive errors, so 'bpftool prog load [...] dev <ifname>' syntax becomes deprecated, followed by 'bpftool map create [...] dev <ifname>' for consistency. Now, to offload program, execute: bpftool prog load [...] offload_dev <ifname> To offload map: bpftool map create [...] offload_dev <ifname> 'dev <ifname>' still performs offloading in the commands above, but now triggers a warning and is excluded from bash completion. 'xdpmeta_dev' and 'offload_dev' are mutually exclusive options, because 'xdpmeta_dev' basically makes a program device-bound without loading it onto the said device. For now, offloaded programs cannot use XDP hints [0], but if this changes, using 'offload_dev <ifname>' should cover this case.
