Using xdp_hw_metadata I experince Segmentation fault after seeing
"detaching bpf program....".
On my system the segfault happened when accessing bpf_obj->skeleton
in xdp_hw_metadata__destroy(bpf_obj) call. That doesn't make any sense
as this memory have not been freed by program at this point in time.
Prior to calling xdp_hw_metadata__destroy(bpf_obj) the function
close_xsk() is called for each RX-queue xsk. The real bug lays
in close_xsk() that unmap via munmap() the wrong memory pointer.
The call xsk_umem__delete(xsk->umem) will free xsk->umem, thus
the call to munmap(xsk->umem, UMEM_SIZE) will have unpredictable
behavior. And man page explain subsequent references to these
pages will generate SIGSEGV.
Unmapping xsk->umem_area instead removes the segfault.

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.
