Hi,
I’m new to bpf and when run `iovisor/bcc` examples with
`xdp_redirect_cpu.py` in my vm, the connection will lost and I have
to restart my vm. In my understanding this example just foword the
package from one cpu to another and the package should not lost. Am
I missing something? Anyone can help me? Thank you

PS: xdp is loaded in xdpgeneric mode

CPUMAP is not supported by generic XDP(*). Besides, it provides very little
benefit since the packet is already packaged into a skb and there is no need
to package it again with another CPU.

Thanks you Gary, for pointing this out. I added the TODO in the code,
and it is still on my todo list for CPUMAP here:
