The AF_XDP userspace part of xdp_hw_metadata see non-zero as a signal of
the availability of rx_timestamp and rx_hash in data_meta area. The
kernel-side BPF-prog code doesn't initialize these members when kernel
returns an error e.g. -EOPNOTSUPP. This memory area is not guaranteed to
be zeroed, and can contain garbage/previous values, which will be read
and interpreted by AF_XDP userspace side.
Tested this on different drivers. The experiences are that for most
packets they will have zeroed this data_meta area, but occasionally it
will contain garbage data.
Example of failure tested on ixgbe:
poll: 1 (0)
xsk_ring_cons__peek: 1
0x18ec788: rx_desc[0]->addr=100000000008000 addr=8100 comp_addr=8000
rx_hash: 3697961069
rx_timestamp: 9024981991734834796 (sec:9024981991.7348)
0x18ec788: complete idx=8 addr=8000

I choose a simple fix in this patch. When kfunc fails or isn't supported
assign zero to the corresponding struct meta value.
It's up to the individual BPF-programmer to do something smarter e.g.
that fits their use-case, like getting a software timestamp and marking
a flag that gives the type of timestamp.

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.
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.
