Passing a non-existing option in the options member of struct
xdp_desc was, incorrectly, silently ignored. This patch addresses
that behavior, and drops any Tx descriptor with non-existing options.
We have examined existing user space code, and to our best knowledge,
no one is relying on the current incorrect behavior. AF_XDP is still
in its infancy, so from our perspective, the risk of breakage is very
low, and addressing this problem now is important.

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.
