Add bpf_link-based API (bpf_xdp_link) to attach BPF XDP program through BPF_LINK_CREATE command. bpf_xdp_link is mutually exclusive with direct BPF program attachment, previous BPF program should be detached prior to attempting to create a new bpf_xdp_link attachment (for a given XDP mode). Once BPF link is attached, it can't be replaced by other BPF program attachment or link attachment. It will be detached only when the last BPF link FD is closed. bpf_xdp_link will be auto-detached when net_device is shutdown, similarly to how other BPF links behave (cgroup, flow_dissector). At that point bpf_link will become defunct, but won't be destroyed until last FD is closed.

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.
