I can't think of a use case now for the xdp prog to use the xdp_to_skb_metadata 
while the xdp prog can directly call the kfunc (eg 
bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_timestamp) to get individual hint.  I was asking if patch 7 
is an actual use case because it does test the tstamp in XDP_PASS or it is 
mostly for selftest purpose?  Yeah, may be the xdp prog will be able to change 
the xdp_to_skb_metadata eventually but that is for later.

My concern is the xdp prog is allowed to change xdp_to_skb_metadata or 
by-coincident writing metadata that matches the random and the sizeof(struct 
xdp_to_skb_metadata).

Also, the added opacity of xdp_to_skb_metadata (__randomize_layout + random int) 
is trying very hard to hide it from xdp prog.  Instead, would it be cleaner to 
have a flag in xdp->flags (to be set by bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb?) to 
guard this, like one of Jesper's patch.  The xdp_convert_ctx_access() and 
bpf_xdp_adjust_meta() can check this bit to ensure the xdp_to_skb_metadata 
cannot be read and no metadata can be added/deleted after that.  btw, is it 
possible to keep both xdp_to_skb_metadata and the xdp_prog's metadata?  After 
skb_metadata_import_from_xdp popping the xdp_to_skb_metadata, the remaining 
xdp_prog's metatdata can still be used by the bpf-tc.

Yeah, not sure if it can solely depend on BPF_F_XDP_HAS_METADATA but it makes 
sense to only use the hints (if ever written) from xdp prog especially if it 
will eventually support xdp prog changing some of the hints in the future.  For 
now, I think either way is fine since they are the same and the xdp prog is sort 
of doing extra unnecessary work anyway by calling 
bpf_xdp_metadata_export_to_skb() with XDP_PASS and knowing nothing can be 
changed now.
