You are right, I should have added some details on why I have chosen to 
take this approach. The reason is, to avoid a dedicated entry in the 
xdp_frame structure and maintaining it in the various eBPF helpers.

I'll update the commit message in the next revision to include this.

I was trying to find an easy way to extract the data/fields, maybe using 
BTF but had no luck.
So I resorted back to an existing approach in sk_buff, see 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10-rc7/source/include/linux/skbuff.h#L780

Yes, I agree having u32 would be way better, even for u32 for the mb 
field. I’ve seen other code converting flags to u32 for easy access in 
the eBPF context structures.

I’ll see there are some comments in general on the bit definitions for 
mb, but I’ll try to convince them to use u32 for both in the next 
revision, as I think for the xdp_buff structure size is not a real 
problem ;)

See above…

There is no “real” stack in eBPF, only a read-only frame pointer, 
and as we are replacing a single instruction, we have no info on what we 
can use as scratch space.
