Re: [PATCHv7 bpf-next 1/3] xdp: add a new helper for dev map multicast support

This patch is for xdp multicast support. which has been discussed
before[0], The goal is to be able to implement an OVS-like data plane in XDP,
i.e., a software switch that can forward XDP frames to multiple ports.

To achieve this, an application needs to specify a group of interfaces
to forward a packet to. It is also common to want to exclude one or more
physical interfaces from the forwarding operation - e.g., to forward a
packet to all interfaces in the multicast group except the interface it
arrived on. While this could be done simply by adding more groups, this
quickly leads to a combinatorial explosion in the number of groups an
application has to maintain.

To avoid the combinatorial explosion, we propose to include the ability
to specify an "exclude group" as part of the forwarding operation. This
needs to be a group (instead of just a single port index), because there
may have multi interfaces you want to exclude.

Thus, the logical forwarding operation becomes a "set difference"
operation, i.e. "forward to all ports in group A that are not also in
group B". This series implements such an operation using device maps to
represent the groups. This means that the XDP program specifies two
device maps, one containing the list of netdevs to redirect to, and the
other containing the exclude list.

To achieve this, I re-implement a new helper bpf_redirect_map_multi()
to accept two maps, the forwarding map and exclude map. The forwarding
map could be DEVMAP or DEVMAP_HASH, but the exclude map *must* be
DEVMAP_HASH to get better performace. If user don't want to use exclude
map and just want simply stop redirecting back to ingress device, they
can use flag BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS.

As both bpf_xdp_redirect_map() and this new helpers are using struct
bpf_redirect_info, I add a new ex_map and set tgt_value to NULL in the
new helper to make a difference with bpf_xdp_redirect_map().

Also I keep the the general data path in net/core/filter.c, the native data
path in kernel/bpf/devmap.c so we can use direct calls to get better
performace.

v7: Fix helper flag check
    Limit the *ex_map* to use DEVMAP_HASH only and update function
    dev_in_exclude_map() to get better performance.

v6: converted helper return types from int to long

v5:
a) Check devmap_get_next_key() return value.
b) Pass through flags to __bpf_tx_xdp_map() instead of bool value.
c) In function dev_map_enqueue_multi(), consume xdpf for the last
   obj instead of the first on.
d) Update helper description and code comments to explain that we
   use NULL target value to distinguish multicast and unicast
   forwarding.
e) Update memory model, memory id and frame_sz in xdpf_clone().

v4: Fix bpf_xdp_redirect_map_multi_proto arg2_type typo

v3: Based on Toke's suggestion, do the following update
a) Update bpf_redirect_map_multi() description in bpf.h.
b) Fix exclude_ifindex checking order in dev_in_exclude_map().
c) Fix one more xdpf clone in dev_map_enqueue_multi().
d) Go find next one in dev_map_enqueue_multi() if the interface is not
   able to forward instead of abort the whole loop.
e) Remove READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for ex_map.

v2: Add new syscall bpf_xdp_redirect_map_multi() which could accept
include/exclude maps directly.
