Nice, 4% is pretty good!
I wonder if the program needs to be backwards-compatible (with pre-5.3
kernels), though?
You can do that by something like this:
ret = bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, XDP_PASS);
if (ret > 0)
return ret;
if (bpf_map_lookup_elem(&xsks_map, &index))
return bpf_redirect_map(&xsks_map, index, 0);
return XDP_PASS;
This works because bpf_redirect_map() prior to 43e74c0267a3 will return
XDP_ABORTED on a non-0 flags value.
