Merge branch 'xdp_redirect-bulking'
Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says: ==================== Since commit 96360004 ("xdp: Make devmap flush_list common for all map instances"), devmap flushing is a global operation instead of tied to a particular map. This means that with a bit of refactoring, we can finally fix the performance delta between the bpf_redirect_map() and bpf_redirect() helper functions, by introducing bulking for the latter as well. This series makes this change by moving the data structure used for the bulking into struct net_device itself, so we can access it even when there is not devmap. Once this is done, moving the bpf_redirect() helper to use the bulking mechanism becomes quite trivial, and brings bpf_redirect() up to the same as bpf_redirect_map(): Before: After: 1 CPU: bpf_redirect_map: 8.4 Mpps 8.4 Mpps (no change) bpf_redirect: 5.0 Mpps 8.4 Mpps (+68%) 2 CPUs: bpf_redirect_map: 15.9 Mpps 16.1 Mpps (+1% or ~no change) bpf_redirect: 9.5 Mpps 15.9 Mpps (+67%) After this patch series, the only semantics different between the two variants of the bpf() helper (apart from the absence of a map argument, obviously) is that the _map() variant will return an error if passed an invalid map index, whereas the bpf_redirect() helper will succeed, but drop packets on xdp_do_redirect(). This is because the helper has no reference to the calling netdev, so unfortunately we can't do the ifindex lookup directly in the helper. Changelog: v3: - Switch two more fields to avoid a list_head spanning two cache lines - Include Jesper's tracepoint patch - Also rename xdp_do_flush_map() - Fix a few nits from Maciej v2: - Consolidate code paths and tracepoints for map and non-map redirect variants (Björn) - Add performance data for 2-CPU test (Jesper) - Move fields to avoid shifting cache lines in struct net_device (Eric) ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
