[PATCH bpf-next] cpumap: bulk skb using netif_receive_skb_list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Rely on netif_receive_skb_list routine to send skbs converted from
xdp_frames in cpu_map_kthread_run in order to improve i-cache usage.
The proposed patch has been tested running xdp_redirect_cpu bpf sample
available in the kernel tree that is used to redirect UDP frames from
ixgbe driver to a cpumap entry and then to the networking stack.
UDP frames are generated using pkt_gen.

$xdp_redirect_cpu  --cpu <cpu> --progname xdp_cpu_map0 --dev <eth>

bpf-next: ~2.2Mpps
bpf-next + cpumap skb-list: ~3.15Mpps
