This XDP selftest also contain a small TC-bpf component. It provoke the generic-XDP bug fixed in previous commit. The selftest itself shows how to do VLAN manipulation from XDP and TC. The test demonstrate how XDP ingress can remove a VLAN tag, and how TC egress can add back a VLAN tag. This use-case originates from a production need by ISP (kviknet.dk), who gets DSL-lines terminated as VLAN Q-in-Q tagged packets, and want to avoid having an net_device for every end-customer on the box doing the L2 to L3 termination. The test-setup is done via a veth-pair and creating two network namespaces (ns1 and ns2). The 'ns1' simulate the ISP network that are loading the BPF-progs stripping and adding VLAN IDs. The 'ns2' simulate the DSL-customer that are using VLAN tagged packets. Running the script with --interactive, will simply not call the cleanup function. This gives the effect of creating a testlab, that the users can inspect and play with. The --verbose option will simply request that the shell will print input lines as they are read, this include comments, which in effect make the comments visible docs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
