Hi Andrii,

working on xdp multi-buff I figured out now xdp generic is the default choice
if not specified by userspace. In particular after commit 7f0a838254bd
("bpf, xdp: Maintain info on attached XDP BPF programs in net_device"), running
the command below, XDP will run in generic mode even if the underlay driver
support XDP in native mode:

$ip link set dev eth0 xdp obj prog.o
$ip link show dev eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 xdpgeneric qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT
   group default qlen 1024
   link/ether f0:ad:4e:09:6b:57 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   prog/xdp id 1 tag 3b185187f1855c4c jited 

Is it better to use xdpdrv as default choice if not specified by userspace?
doing something like:
diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c
index a00aa737ce29..1f85880ee412 100644
--- a/net/core/dev.c
