Running the following sequence is currently broken:
# tc qdisc add dev foo clsact
# tc filter replace dev foo ingress prio 1 handle 1 bpf da obj bar.o
# tc filter replace dev foo ingress prio 1 handle 1 bpf da obj bar.o
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
The normal expectation on kernel side is that the second command
succeeds replacing the existing program. However, what happens is
in cls_bpf_change(), we bail out with err in the second run in
cls_bpf_offload(). The EINVAL comes directly in cls_bpf_offload()
when comparing prog vs oldprog's gen_flags. In case of above
replace the new prog's gen_flags are 0, but the old ones are 8,
which means TCA_CLS_FLAGS_NOT_IN_HW is set (e.g. drivers not having
cls_bpf offload).
Fix 102740bd9436 ("cls_bpf: fix offload assumptions after callback
conversion") in the following way: gen_flags from user space passed
down via netlink cannot include status flags like TCA_CLS_FLAGS_IN_HW
or TCA_CLS_FLAGS_NOT_IN_HW as opposed to oldprog that we previously
loaded. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to include them in the
gen_flags comparison with the new prog before we even attempt to
offload. Thus, lets fix this before 4.15 goes out.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
