As first step towards bumping the minimum kernel requirement, stop testing the soon-to-be-EOL 5.4 kernel. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@isovalent.com>
The v5.4 kernel will go EOL by end of the year, and all relevant distros seem to have moved on to a newer kernel. There's not much point in spending CI & maintenance cycles on a kernel version that will go EOL soon and has no significant user base. Folks that for some reason are still running on a frozen platform with such an old kernel can simply continue to run Cilium v1.17, while they figure out their upgrade path.

This helper is available as of kernel v5.10, unconditionally require it. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@isovalent.com>
This helper is available as of kernel v5.10, unconditionally require it. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@isovalent.com>
We currently don't have a specific probe for this BPF characteristic, and
so far have assumed that it exists on all kernels which provide the
`FnRedirectPeer` helper.
As this helper is now strictly required, simplify the code and drop the
toleration for kernels that don't have
d1c362e1dd68 ("bpf: Always return target ifindex in bpf_fib_lookup").

The v5.4 kernel will go EOL by end of the year, and all relevant distros
seem to have moved on to a newer kernel. There's not much point in
spending CI & maintenance cycles on a kernel version that will go EOL soon
and has no significant user base.
Folks that for some reason are still running on a frozen platform with such
an old kernel can simply continue to run Cilium v1.17, while they figure
out their upgrade path.
