[PATCH bpf-next v5 0/2] Optimize bpf_redirect_map()/xdp_do_redirect()

["Björn Töpel" <bjorn.topel@gmail.com>]

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.

More details in each commit.

Changelog:
v4->v5:  Renamed map operation to map_redirect. (Daniel)
v3->v4:  Made bpf_redirect_map() a map operation. (Daniel)

v2->v3:  Fix build when CONFIG_NET is not set. (lkp)

v1->v2:  Removed warning when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL was not set. (lkp)
         Cleaned up case-clause in xdp_do_generic_redirect_map(). (Toke)
         Re-added comment. (Toke)

rfc->v1: Use map_id, and remove bpf_clear_redirect_map(). (Toke)
         Get rid of the macro and use __always_inline. (Jesper)
