Revision v2 of 2 in this series.

Revisions (2)
  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. v2 current
The BPF ethdev packet callback synchronization mechanism expects only
one dataplane thread per port/queue pair at a time. When
RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE is enabled, multiple threads can invoke
rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same queue without locks. This
breaks the callback parity counter and can lead to use-after-free or
deadlocks during BPF program unload.

Reject BPF Tx callback installation with -ENOTSUP when
RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE is enabled on the port or queue.
Add a unit test in test_bpf verifying this rejection.

Bugzilla ID: 2051
Fixes: a93ff62a8938 ("bpf: introduce basic Rx/Tx filters")
