Alexei Starovoitov ba92660362 Merge branch 'xdp_redirect-bulking'
Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says:

====================
Since commit 96360004b8 ("xdp: Make devmap flush_list common for all map
instances"), devmap flushing is a global operation instead of tied to a
particular map. This means that with a bit of refactoring, we can finally fix
the performance delta between the bpf_redirect_map() and bpf_redirect() helper
functions, by introducing bulking for the latter as well.

This series makes this change by moving the data structure used for the bulking
into struct net_device itself, so we can access it even when there is not
devmap. Once this is done, moving the bpf_redirect() helper to use the bulking
mechanism becomes quite trivial, and brings bpf_redirect() up to the same as
bpf_redirect_map():

                       Before:   After:
1 CPU:
bpf_redirect_map:      8.4 Mpps  8.4 Mpps  (no change)
bpf_redirect:          5.0 Mpps  8.4 Mpps  (+68%)
2 CPUs:
bpf_redirect_map:     15.9 Mpps  16.1 Mpps  (+1% or ~no change)
bpf_redirect:          9.5 Mpps  15.9 Mpps  (+67%)

After this patch series, the only semantics different between the two variants
of the bpf() helper (apart from the absence of a map argument, obviously) is
that the _map() variant will return an error if passed an invalid map index,
whereas the bpf_redirect() helper will succeed, but drop packets on
xdp_do_redirect(). This is because the helper has no reference to the calling
netdev, so unfortunately we can't do the ifindex lookup directly in the helper.

Changelog:

v3:
  - Switch two more fields to avoid a list_head spanning two cache lines
  - Include Jesper's tracepoint patch
  - Also rename xdp_do_flush_map()
  - Fix a few nits from Maciej

v2:
  - Consolidate code paths and tracepoints for map and non-map redirect variants
    (Björn)
  - Add performance data for 2-CPU test (Jesper)
  - Move fields to avoid shifting cache lines in struct net_device (Eric)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
