Hi XDP-folks,
This two patch series contain two optimizations for the
bpf_redirect_map() helper and the xdp_do_redirect() function.
The bpf_redirect_map() optimization is about avoiding the map lookup
dispatching. Instead of having a switch-statement and selecting the
correct lookup function, we let bpf_redirect_map() be a map operation,
where each map has its own bpf_redirect_map() implementation. This way
the run-time lookup is avoided.
The xdp_do_redirect() patch restructures the code, so that the map
pointer indirection can be avoided.
Performance-wise I got 4% improvement for XSKMAP
(sample:xdpsock/rx-drop), and 8% (sample:xdp_redirect_map) on my
machine.
@Jesper/@Toke I kept your Acked-by: for patch 2. Let me know, if you
don't agree with that decision.
More details in each commit.
