--------------------------------------------------
v1 of xsk's bpf_link support can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/

Changes since v1:
- selftests improvements and test case for bpf_link persistence itself
- do not unload netlink-based prog when --force flag is set (John)
- simplify return semantics in xsk_link_lookup (John)
--------------------------------------------------

This set is another approach towards addressing the below issue:

// load xdp prog and xskmap and add entry to xskmap at idx 10
$ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 10

// add entry to xskmap at idx 11
$ sudo ./xdpsock -i ens801f0 -t -q 11

terminate one of the processes and another one is unable to work due to
the fact that the XDP prog was unloaded from interface.

Previous attempt was, to put it mildly, a bit broken, as there was no
synchronization between updates to additional map, as Bjorn pointed out.
See https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/

In the meantime bpf_link was introduced and it seems that it can address
the issue of refcounting the XDP prog on interface.

Although the bpf_link is the meat of the set, selftests improvements are a
bigger part of it. Overall, we've been able to reduce the complexity of xsk
selftests by removing a bunch of synchronization resources and
simplifying logic and structs.

Last but not least, for multiqueue veth working with AF-XDP, ethtool's
get_channels API needs to be implemented, so it's also included in that
set.

Note also that in order to make it work, a commit from bpf tree:
veth: store queue_mapping independently of XDP prog presence
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/

is needed.

Thanks,
Maciej
