Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/6] XDP metadata support for tun driver

Hi,

thank you for your reviw. As promised, here is V3 of this patch series.

I noticed that the updated selftests were flaky sometimes due to the kernel
networking stack sending IPv6 multicast listener reports on the created
test interfaces.
This can be seen here:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/13449071153/job/37580497963

Setting the NOARP flag on the interfaces should fix this race condition.

Successful pipeline:

v3:
- change the condition to handle xdp_buffs without metadata support, as
  suggested by Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>
- add clarifying comment why that condition is needed
- set NOARP flag in selftests to ensure that the kernel does not send
  packets on the test interfaces that may interfere with the tests

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250217172308.3291739-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/
- submit against bpf-next subtree
- split commits and improved commit messages
- remove redundant metasize check and add clarifying comment instead
- use max() instead of ternary operator
- add selftest for metadata support in the tun driver

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250130171614.1657224-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/
