[PATCH bpf V7 1/7] selftests/bpf: xdp_hw_metadata default disable bpf_printk

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer
Date: Sat Apr 08 2023 - 15:26:11 EST


The tool xdp_hw_metadata can be used by driver developers
implementing XDP-hints kfuncs. The tool transfers the
XDP-hints via metadata information to an AF_XDP userspace
process. When everything works the bpf_printk calls are
unncesssary. Thus, disable bpf_printk by default, but
make it easy to reenable for driver developers to use
when debugging their driver implementation.

This also converts bpf_printk "forwarding UDP:9091 to AF_XDP"
into a code comment. The bpf_printk's that are important
to the driver developers is when bpf_xdp_adjust_meta fails.
The likely mistake from driver developers is expected to
be that they didn't implement XDP metadata adjust support.
