Thanks for providing more info. I have reproduced this issue. It doesn't happen when --no-pci is used. The issue is not related to the libxdp patch. It just occurs when xsk_configure() fails. As you said, some extra error checks/handling are probably required. Thanks for reporting. I'll work on a fix. Ciara
