From 546ac1ffb70d25b56c1126940e5ec639c4dd7413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 09:28:56 -0700 Subject: bpf: add devmap, a map for storing net device references Device map (devmap) is a BPF map, primarily useful for networking applications, that uses a key to lookup a reference to a netdevice. The map provides a clean way for BPF programs to build virtual port to physical port maps. Additionally, it provides a scoping function for the redirect action itself allowing multiple optimizations. Future patches will leverage the map to provide batching at the XDP layer. Another optimization/feature, that is not yet implemented, would be to support multiple netdevices per key to support efficient multicast and broadcast support.
