When I try to compile the codes the xdp_vlan01_kern.c uses #pragma unroll, it throws error.

Hmm, this sounds like a regression in clang, then, so I would suggest reporting it to the LLVM developers...

Reducing VLAN_MAX_DEPTH from 10 to 2 (QinQ) is a workaround. Do we really need 10 of these iterations unrolled?

Hmm, maybe not; but it's still odd that this suddenly starts happening when it has worked fine before... :/

I also had this problem, but when I changed the clang version to 17, it was solved.
