====================
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 bpf_redirect_map() be a map operation,
where each map has its own bpf_redirect_map() implementation. 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 4% improvement for XSKMAP
(sample:xdpsock/rx-drop), and 8% (sample:xdp_redirect_map) on my
machine.
v5->v6: Removed REDIR enum, and instead use map_id and map_type. (Daniel)
Applied Daniel's fixups on patch 1. (Daniel)
v4->v5: Renamed map operation to map_redirect. (Daniel)
v3->v4: Made bpf_redirect_map() a map operation. (Daniel)
v2->v3: Fix build when CONFIG_NET is not set. (lkp)
v1->v2: Removed warning when CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL was not set. (lkp)
Cleaned up case-clause in xdp_do_generic_redirect_map(). (Toke)
Re-added comment. (Toke)
rfc->v1: Use map_id, and remove bpf_clear_redirect_map(). (Toke)
Get rid of the macro and use __always_inline. (Jesper)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
