The ixgbe driver uses an older style failure mode when initializing the XDP program and the queues. It causes some warnings when running C=2 checking builds (and it's the last one in the ethernet/intel tree). $ make W=1 C=2 M=`pwd`/drivers/net/ethernet/intel modules .../ixgbe_main.c:10301:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): .../ixgbe_main.c:10301:25: struct bpf_prog [noderef] __rcu * .../ixgbe_main.c:10301:25: struct bpf_prog * Fix the problem by removing the line that tried to re-xchg "the old_prog pointer" if there was an error, to make this driver act like the other drivers which return the error code without "pointer restoration." Also, update the "copy the pointer" logic to use WRITE_ONCE as many/all the other drivers do, which required making a change in two separate functions that write the xdp_prog variable in the ring. The code here was modeled after the code in i40e/i40e_xdp_setup(). NOTE: Compile-tested only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
