[BUG] cc5b114dcf bpf, i40e: add meta data support

My server's i40e no longer obtains an IP address on linux
mainline. Bisected to the following:

commit cc5b114dcf986bfd8e4c37bf65d1b7b1e5290ac6

bpf, i40e: add meta data support

Reverting on mainline resolves the issue.

Is there something wrong with my i40e adapter, or is the patch possibly
doing something wrong? Or any other information I can get to help
understand why it's stopped working with this feature?

An excert from "journalctl -xe" on on the failing network adapter
is below.

Thanks,
Keith
