Bug #6365
closedSuricata AF_XDP not using libxdp XDP dispatcher and can't co-exist with another XDP program
Description
Hi,
While testing suricata AF_XDP, I noticed I could not attach another XDP program to the interface that has AF_XDP program attached
for example, AF_XDP attached interface
root@r220:~# xdp-loader status CURRENT XDP PROGRAM STATUS: Interface Prio Program name Mode ID Tag Chain actions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lo <No XDP program loaded!> enp1s0f0 <No XDP program loaded!> enp1s0f1 <No XDP program loaded!> eno1 <No XDP program loaded!> eno2 skb 38 03b13f331978c78c
then if I use xdp-loader to attach another XDP program to eno2 interface, I got
#xdp-loader load eno2 -m skb ./xdp_pass.o
libxdp: Generating multi-prog dispatcher for 1 programs
libxdp: Existing program is not using a dispatcher, can't replace; unload first
Couldn't attach XDP program on iface 'eno2': Device or resource busy(-16)
it appears to me AF_XDP program should be able to co-exist with another XDP program if they are using libxdp XDP dispatcher.
it looks suricata AF_XDP is not setup to use dispatcher.

it looks my old libbpf version 0.7 installation might interfere with libxdp, and suricata could be using old libbpf to cause the issue, after re-install libbpf 1.x, re-install libxdp, re-install suricata, the issue is gone, and suricata AF_XDP is using xdp dispatcher. close the ticket
