The XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW command is purely for convenience of drivers without an offload. I felt it's not appropriate to burden all drivers with:if (xdp->flags & XDP_FLAGS_HW_MODE) return -EOPNOTSUPP; But, I do have a patch which does it, so I'm happy to drop the new command if it's preferred.
Ahh, that makes sense, yep. I was only focused on reviewing this in the context of nfp driver. Lack of coffee. ;)
