Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 0/4] XDP: Support atomic replacement of XDP
 interface attachments

This series adds support for atomically replacing the XDP program loaded on an
interface. This is achieved by means of a new netlink attribute that can specify
the expected previous program to replace on the interface. If set, the kernel
will compare this "expected id" attribute with the program currently loaded on
the interface, and reject the operation if it does not match.

With this primitive, userspace applications can avoid stepping on each other's
toes when simultaneously updating the loaded XDP program.

Changelog:

v3:
- Pass existing ID instead of FD (Jakub)
- Use opts struct for new libbpf function (Andrii)

v2:
- Fix checkpatch nits and add .strict_start_type to netlink policy (Jakub)
