Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/3] AF_XDP clean up/perf improvements

This series has some clean up/performance improvements for XDP
sockets.

The first two patches are cleanups for the AF_XDP core, and the
restructure actually give a little performance boost.

The last patch adds support for selecting AF_XDP BPF program, based on
what the running kernel supports.

The patches were earlier part of the bigger "bpf_redirect_xsk()"
series [1]. I pulled out the non-controversial parts into this series.

Thanks to Maciej and Magnus for the internal review/comments!

Thanks to Toke, Alexei, and Andrii for the "auto-detection" help;
Instead of basing it on kernel version, a run-time test is
performed. Note that I did not add the probing support to libbpf.c,
where the other probes reside. Instead it's in xsk.c. The reason for
that is that AF_XDP will be moved out from libbpf post-1.0, to libxdp.

Thanks,
Björn

Björn Töpel (3):
  xsk: remove explicit_free parameter from __xsk_rcv()
  xsk: fold xp_assign_dev and __xp_assign_dev
  libbpf, xsk: select AF_XDP BPF program based on kernel version
