[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/2] selftests/bpf: drop xdping tool

From: Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation)

Date: Wed Apr 22 2026 - 12:26:28 EST


Hello,

this is the v2 of the small series dropping xdping tool. This removal is
part of the larger effort aiming to tidy the bpf selftests directory.
This new revision updates btf_dump test to make it use another bpf
program rather than xdping_kern so that we can drop it as well.

---
Changes in v2:
- make btf_dump use xdp_dummy rather than xdping_kern
- and so, drop xdping_kern at the same time as the xdping tool
- collect Alan's RB
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260417-xdping-v1-1-9b0ce0e7adf8@xxxxxxxxxxx
