BTW, as shown in samples/bpf/xdp_fwd_kern.c, you have a bit more work to
do for proper L3 forwarding:

        if (rc == BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_SUCCESS) {
		...
                if (h_proto == htons(ETH_P_IP))
                        ip_decrease_ttl(iph);
                else if (h_proto == htons(ETH_P_IPV6))
                        ip6h->hop_limit--;

                memcpy(eth->h_dest, fib_params.dmac, ETH_ALEN);
                memcpy(eth->h_source, fib_params.smac, ETH_ALEN);
                return bpf_redirect_map(&xdp_tx_ports,
fib_params.ifindex, 0);

The ttl / hoplimit decrements assumed you checked it earlier to be > 1
