Hi XDP-folks, This two patch series contain two optimizations for the bpf_redirect_map() helper and the xdp_do_redirect() function. The bpf_redirect_map() optimization is about avoiding the map lookup dispatching. Instead of having a switch-statement and selecting the correct lookup function, we let the verifier patch the bpf_redirect_map() call to a specific lookup function. This way the run-time lookup is avoided. The xdp_do_redirect() patch restructures the code, so that the map pointer indirection can be avoided. Performance-wise I got 3% improvement for XSKMAP (sample:xdpsock/rx-drop), and 4% (sample:xdp_redirect_map) on my machine. More details in each commit. Changes since the RFC is outlined in each commit.
