Martin KaFai Lau says: ==================== This series introduces a new map type "BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY" and a new prog type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_REUSEPORT. Here is a snippet from a commit message: "To unleash the full potential of a bpf prog, it is essential for the userspace to be capable of directly setting up a bpf map which can then be consumed by the bpf prog to make decision. In this case, decide which SO_REUSEPORT sk to serve the incoming request. By adding BPF_MAP_TYPE_REUSEPORT_SOCKARRAY, the userspace has total control and visibility on where a SO_REUSEPORT sk should be located in a bpf map. The later patch will introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_SK_REUSEPORT such that the bpf prog can directly select a sk from the bpf map. That will raise the programmability of the bpf prog attached to a reuseport group (a group of sk serving the same IP:PORT). For example, in UDP, the bpf prog can peek into the payload (e.g. through the "data" pointer introduced in the later patch) to learn the application level's connection information and then decide which sk to pick from a bpf map. The userspace can tightly couple the sk's location in a bpf map with the application logic in generating the UDP payload's connection information. This connection info contact/API stays within the userspace. Also, when used with map-in-map, the userspace can switch the old-server-process's inner map to a new-server-process's inner map in one call "bpf_map_update_elem(outer_map, &index, &new_reuseport_array)". The bpf prog will then direct incoming requests to the new process instead of the old process. The old process can finish draining the pending requests (e.g. by "accept()") before closing the old-fds. [Note that deleting a fd from a bpf map does not necessary mean the fd is closed]" ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> |

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
