John Fastabend d445516966 net: xdp: support xdp generic on virtual devices
XDP generic allows users to test XDP programs and/or run them with
degraded performance on devices that do not yet support XDP. For
testing I typically test eBPF programs using a set of veth devices.
This allows testing topologies that would otherwise be difficult to
setup especially in the early stages of development.

This patch adds a xdp generic hook to the netif_rx_internal()
function which is called from dev_forward_skb(). With this addition
attaching XDP programs to veth devices works as expected! Also I
noticed multiple drivers using netif_rx(). These devices will also
benefit and generic XDP will work for them as well.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
