Hi,

thank you for your reviw. As promised, here is V3 of this patch series.

I noticed that the updated selftests were flaky sometimes due to the kernel
networking stack sending IPv6 multicast listener reports on the created
test interfaces.
This can be seen here:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/actions/runs/13449071153/job/37580497963

Setting the NOARP flag on the interfaces should fix this race condition.

Successful pipeline:

Please don't add tags, unless a person has explicitly added them.

And they are only sticky when the code has not been changed since
they added them.

These are only in the cover letter, so not picked up. But for future
revisions and patches.

I'll take a closer look at the actual patches in a bit.

v3:
- change the condition to handle xdp_buffs without metadata support, as
  suggested by Willem de Bruijn [off-list ref]
- add clarifying comment why that condition is needed
- set NOARP flag in selftests to ensure that the kernel does not send
  packets on the test interfaces that may interfere with the tests

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250217172308.3291739-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/ (local)
- submit against bpf-next subtree
- split commits and improved commit messages
- remove redundant metasize check and add clarifying comment instead
- use max() instead of ternary operator
- add selftest for metadata support in the tun driver

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250130171614.1657224-1-marcus.wichelmann@hetzner-cloud.de/ (local)
