After reading this thread I think I have to pour cold water on the design.

The performance blip comes from hard coded assumptions:
+ queue_id = xdp->rxq->queue_index;
+ xs = READ_ONCE(dev->_rx[queue_id].xsk);

bpf can have specialized helpers, but imo this is beyond what's reasonable.
Please move such things into the program and try to make
bpf_redirect_map faster.

Making af_xdp non-root is orthogonal. If there is actual need for that
it has to be designed thoroughly and not presented as "this helper may
help to do that".
I don't think "may" will materialize unless people actually work
toward the goal of non-root.
