Merge branch 'bpf-xdp-bcast'
Hangbin Liu says: ==================== This patchset is a new implementation for XDP multicast support based on my previous 2 maps implementation[1]. The reason is that Daniel thinks the exclude map implementation is missing proper bond support in XDP context. And there is a plan to add native XDP bonding support. Adding a exclude map in the helper also increases the complexity of verifier and has drawbacks on performance. The new implementation just add two new flags BPF_F_BROADCAST and BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS to extend xdp_redirect_map for broadcast support. With BPF_F_BROADCAST the packet will be broadcasted to all the interfaces in the map. with BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS the ingress interface will be excluded when do broadcasting. The patchv11 link is here [2].

Re-struct the test and make clear what flags we are testing. v10: use READ/WRITE_ONCE when read/write map instead of xchg() v9: Update patch 01 commit description v8: use hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() when looping the devmap hash ojbs v7: No need to free xdpf in dev_map_enqueue_clone() if xdpf_clone failed. v6: Fix a skb leak in the error path for generic XDP v5: Just walk the map directly to get interfaces as get_next_key() of devmap hash may restart looping from the first key if the device get removed. After update the performace has improved 10% compired with v4. v4: Fix flags never cleared issue in patch 02. Update selftest to cover this. v3: Rebase the code based on latest bpf-next v2: fix flag renaming issue in patch 02 ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
