Instead of delegating to drivers, maintain information about which BPF programs are attached in which XDP modes (generic/skb, driver, or hardware) locally in net_device. This effectively obsoletes XDP_QUERY_PROG command. Such re-organization simplifies existing code already. But it also allows to further add bpf_link-based XDP attachments without drivers having to know about any of this at all, which seems like a good setup. XDP_SETUP_PROG/XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW are just low-level commands to driver to install/uninstall active BPF program. All the higher-level concerns about prog/link interaction will be contained within generic driver-agnostic logic. All the XDP_QUERY_PROG calls to driver in dev_xdp_uninstall() were removed. It's not clear for me why dev_xdp_uninstall() were passing previous prog_flags when resetting installed programs. That seems unnecessary, plus most drivers don't populate prog_flags anyways. Having XDP_SETUP_PROG vs XDP_SETUP_PROG_HW should be enough of an indicator of what is required of driver to correctly reset active BPF program. dev_xdp_uninstall() is also generalized as an iteration over all three supported mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
