I looked at this quickly it seems like it would work and allow us to avoid the reset. However, it seems like a lot of churn to avoid a single reset. I don't see the reset itself as being that bad of an operation. I agree the reset is not ideal though. Are there any other use cases for this other than XDP? > > Take a look but it doesn't even build yet. > Need to roll it out to all devices etc. > > ---> > [...]
