Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/3] veth: add skb bulking allocation for XDP_PASS

From: Lorenzo Bianconi <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 19:41:58 +0100

Introduce bulking skb allocation for XDP_PASS verdict in veth driver.
The proposed approach has been tested in the following scenario:

eth (ixgbe) --> XDP_REDIRECT --> veth0 --> (remote-ns) veth1 --> XDP_PASS

XDP_REDIRECT: xdp_redirect_map bpf sample
XDP_PASS: xdp_rxq_info bpf sample

traffic generator: pkt_gen sending udp traffic on a remote device

bpf-next master: ~3.64Mpps
bpf-next + skb bulking allocation: ~3.75Mpps

Lorenzo Bianconi (3):
  net: veth: introduce bulking for XDP_PASS
  net: xdp: move XDP_BATCH_SIZE in common header
  net: veth: alloc skb in bulk for ndo_xdp_xmit
