This sample code illustrates the packet forwarding between multiple
AF_XDP sockets in multi-threading environment. All the threads and
sockets are sharing a common buffer pool, with each socket having
its own private buffer cache. The sockets are created with the
xsk_socket__create_shared() function, which allows multiple AF_XDP
sockets to share the same UMEM object.
Example 1: Single thread handling two sockets. Packets received
from socket A (on top of interface IFA, queue QA) are forwarded
to socket B (on top of interface IFB, queue QB) and vice-versa.
The thread is affinitized to CPU core C:
./xsk_fwd -i IFA -q QA -i IFB -q QB -c C
Example 2: Two threads, each handling two sockets. Packets from
socket A are sent to socket B (by thread X), packets
from socket B are sent to socket A (by thread X); packets from
socket C are sent to socket D (by thread Y), packets from socket
D are sent to socket C (by thread Y). The two threads are bound
to CPU cores CX and CY:
./xdp_fwd -i IFA -q QA -i IFB -q QB -i IFC -q QC -i IFD -q QD -c CX -c CY
