Every NIC driver utilizing XDP should invoke xdp_do_flush() after processing all packages. With the introduction of the bpf_net_context logic the flush lists (for dev, CPU-map and xsk) are lazy initialized only if used. However xdp_do_flush() tries to flush all three of them so all three lists are always initialized and the likely empty lists are "iterated". Without the usage of XDP but with CONFIG_DEBUG_NET the lists are also initialized due to xdp_do_check_flushed(). Jakub suggest to utilize the hints in bpf_net_context and avoid invoking the flush function. This will also avoiding initializing the lists which are otherwise unused. Introduce bpf_net_ctx_get_all_used_flush_lists() to return the individual list if not-empty. Use the logic in xdp_do_flush() and xdp_do_check_flushed(). Remove the not needed .*_check_flush().

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 reStructuredText 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.
