[PATCH net] bpf: xdp: fallback to SKB mode if DRV flag is absent.

From: Hangbin Liu
Date: Mon Oct 14 2024 - 23:36:59 EST


After commit c8a36f1945b2 ("bpf: xdp: Fix XDP mode when no mode flags
specified"), the mode is automatically set to XDP_MODE_DRV if the driver
implements the .ndo_bpf function. However, for drivers like bonding, which
only support native XDP for specific modes, this may result in an
"unsupported" response.

In such cases, let's fall back to SKB mode if the user did not explicitly
request DRV mode.

Fixes: c8a36f1945b2 ("bpf: xdp: Fix XDP mode when no mode flags specified")
