This changes the devmap XDP program support to run the program when the bulk queue is flushed instead of before the frame is enqueued. This has a couple of benefits: - It "sorts" the packets by destination devmap entry, and then runs the same BPF program on all the packets in sequence. This ensures that we keep the XDP program and destination device properties hot in I-cache. - It makes the multicast implementation simpler because it can just enqueue packets using bq_enqueue() without having to deal with the devmap program at all. The drawback is that if the devmap program drops the packet, the enqueue step is redundant. However, arguably this is mostly visible in a micro-benchmark, and with more mixed traffic the I-cache benefit should win out. The performance impact of just this patch is as follows: Using 2 10Gb i40e NIC, redirecting one to another, or into a veth interface, which do XDP_DROP on veth peer. With xdp_redirect_map in sample/bpf, send pkts via pktgen cmd: ./pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh -i eno1 -d $dst_ip -m $dst_mac -t 10 -s 64 There are about +/- 0.1M deviation for native testing, the performance improved for the base-case, but some drop back with xdp devmap prog attached. Version | Test | Generic | Native | Native + 2nd xdp_prog 5.12 rc4 | xdp_redirect_map i40e->i40e | 1.9M | 9.6M | 8.4M 5.12 rc4 | xdp_redirect_map i40e->veth | 1.7M | 11.7M | 9.8M 5.12 rc4 + patch | xdp_redirect_map i40e->i40e | 1.9M | 9.8M | 8.0M 5.12 rc4 + patch | xdp_redirect_map i40e->veth | 1.7M | 12.0M | 9.4M When bq_xmit_all() is called from bq_enqueue(), another packet will always be enqueued immediately after, so clearing dev_rx, xdp_prog and flush_node in bq_xmit_all() is redundant. Move the clear to __dev_flush(), and only check them once in bq_enqueue() since they are all modified together. This change also has the side effect of extending the lifetime of the RCU-protected xdp_prog that lives inside the devmap entries: Instead of just living for the duration of the XDP program invocation, the reference now lives all the way until the bq is flushed. This is safe because the bq flush happens at the end of the NAPI poll loop, so everything happens between a local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() pair. However, this is by no means obvious from looking at the call sites; in particular, some drivers have an additional rcu_read_lock() around only the XDP program invocation, which only confuses matters further. Cleaning this up will be done in a separate patch series.

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.
