Merge branch 'bpf-af-xdp-xskmap-improvements'



Björn Töpel says:

====================
This series (v5 and counting) add two improvements for the XSKMAP,
used by AF_XDP sockets.

1. Automatic cleanup when an AF_XDP socket goes out of scope/is
   released. Instead of require that the user manually clears the
   "released" state socket from the map, this is done
   automatically. Each socket tracks which maps it resides in, and
   remove itself from those maps at relase. A notable implementation
   change, is that the sockets references the map, instead of the map
   referencing the sockets. Which implies that when the XSKMAP is
   freed, it is by definition cleared of sockets.

2. The XSKMAP did not honor the BPF_EXIST/BPF_NOEXIST flag on insert,
   which this patch addresses.

v1->v2: Fixed deadlock and broken cleanup. (Daniel)
v2->v3: Rebased onto bpf-next
v3->v4: {READ, WRITE}_ONCE consistency. (Daniel)
        Socket release/map update race. (Daniel)
v4->v5: Avoid use-after-free on XSKMAP self-assignment [1]. (Daniel)
        Removed redundant assignment in xsk_map_update_elem().
        Variable name consistency; Use map_entry everywhere.
