    ice: allow hot-swapping XDP programs · 46974842
    Maciej Fijalkowski authored
    Currently ice driver's .ndo_bpf callback brings interface down and up
    independently of XDP resources' presence. This is only needed when
    either these resources have to be configured or removed. It means that
    if one is switching XDP programs on-the-fly with running traffic,
    packets will be dropped.
    
    To avoid this, compare early on ice_xdp_setup_prog() state of incoming
    bpf_prog pointer vs the bpf_prog pointer that is already assigned to
    VSI. Do the swap in case VSI has bpf_prog and incoming one are non-NULL.
    
    Lastly, while at it, put old bpf_prog *after* the update of Rx ring's
    bpf_prog pointer. In theory previous code could expose us to a state
    where Rx ring's bpf_prog would still be referring to old_prog that got
    released with earlier bpf_prog_put().
