[PATCH v5 0/5] BPF cleanup and tests

[Stephen Hemminger]

This is a series of fixes and tests for BPF functionality.
The new tests for Tx and Rx filtering require the infrastructure
to build a bpf program (clang) and the tool to convert object
file to header (xxd). If missing the test will get skipped.

It is disappointing that there were no examples or tests when
the code was submitted.

v5 - review feedback
     make it clear that load test is mirroring previous test
     and check the result. 

v4 - review feedback - use alloca instead of burst to remove dependency on VLA

v3 - do not depend on xxd -n flag which is not present on older versions

Stephen Hemminger (5):
  bpf: add allocation annotations to functions
  bpf: use bulk free on filtered packets
  bpf: add a test for BPF ELF load
  bpf: add test for Rx and Tx filtering
  bpf: replace use of VLA
