[ Upstream commit dde7b3f5f2f458297aeccfd4783e53ab8ca046db ]
Adding such anonymous padding fixes the issue with uninitialized portions of
bpf_xdp_set_link_opts when using LIBBPF_DECLARE_OPTS macro with inline field
initialization:
DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_xdp_set_link_opts, opts, .old_fd = -1);
When such code is compiled in debug mode, compiler is generating code that
leaves padding bytes uninitialized, which triggers error inside libbpf APIs
that do strict zero initialization checks for OPTS structs.
Adding anonymous padding field fixes the issue.
Fixes: bd5ca3ef93cd ("libbpf: Add function to set link XDP fd while specifying old program")

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.
