This patchset contains XDP micro optimizations for the redirect core. These are not functional changes. The optimizations revolve around getting the compiler to layout the code in a way that reflect how XDP redirect is used. Today the compiler chooses to inline and uninline (static C functions) in a suboptimal way, compared to how XDP redirect can be used. Perf top clearly shows that almost everything gets inlined into the function call xdp_do_redirect. The way the compiler chooses to inlines, does not reflect how XDP redirect is used, as the compile cannot know this.
Applied, Thanks
