[bpf-next V2 PATCH 3/3] xdp: split code for map vs non-map redirect

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hidden>
Date: 2018-09-03 12:14:07
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [networking] (tcx & tc bpf, sock_addr), networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Martin KaFai Lau, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The compiler does an efficient job of inlining static C functions.
Perf top clearly shows that almost everything gets inlined into the
function call xdp_do_redirect.

The function xdp_do_redirect end-up containing and interleaving the
map and non-map redirect code.  This is sub-optimal, as it would be
strange for an XDP program to use both types of redirect in the same
program. The two use-cases are separate, and interleaving the code
just cause more instruction-cache pressure.

I would like to stress (again) that the non-map variant bpf_redirect
is very slow compared to the bpf_redirect_map variant, approx half the
speed.  Measured with driver i40e the difference is:

- map     redirect: 13,250,350 pps
- non-map redirect:  7,491,425 pps

For this reason, the function name of the non-map variant of redirect
have been called xdp_do_redirect_slow.  This hopefully gives a hint
when using perf, that this is not the optimal XDP redirect operating mode.
