When running an XDP bpf_prog on the remote CPU in cpumap code then we must disable the direct return optimization that xdp_return can perform for mem_type page_pool. This optimization assumes code is still executing under RX-NAPI of the original receiving CPU, which isn't true on this remote CPU. The cpumap code already disabled this via helpers xdp_set_return_frame_no_direct() and xdp_clear_return_frame_no_direct(), but the scope didn't include xdp_do_flush(). When doing XDP_REDIRECT towards e.g devmap this causes the function bq_xmit_all() to run with direct return optimization enabled. This can lead to hard to find bugs. The issue only happens when bq_xmit_all() cannot ndo_xdp_xmit all frames and them frees them via xdp_return_frame_rx_napi(). Fix by expanding scope to include xdp_do_flush().

FWIW, I tested this patch and could no longer reproduce the original issue. Tested-By: Chris Arges <redacted> --chris
