There are rx_ring_num queues. Each queue will load xdp prog. So
bpf_prog_add() should add rx_ring_num to ref_cnt.

Your analysis looks incorrect to me. Please elaborate in more detail why
you think current code is buggy ...

Call path is dev_change_xdp_fd(), which does bpf_prog_get_type() on the
fd. This already takes a ref and only drops it in case of error. Thus
in mlx4_xdp_set(), you only need priv->rx_ring_num - 1 refs for the rest
of the rings, so that dropping refs from old_prog makes sure we release
it again. Looks correct to me (maybe a comment would have helped there).
