The BPF map devmap holds a refcnt on the net_device structure when it is in the map. We need to do this to ensure on driver unload we don't lose a dev reference. However, its not very convenient to have to manually unload the map when destroying a net device so add notifier handlers to do the cleanup automatically. But this creates a race between update/destroy BPF syscall and programs and the unregister netdev hook. Unfortunately, the best I could come up with is either to live with requiring manual removal of net devices from the map before removing the net device OR to add a mutex in devmap to ensure the map is not modified while we are removing a device. The fallout also requires that BPF programs no longer update/delete the map from the BPF program side because the mutex may sleep and this can not be done from inside an rcu critical section. This is not a real problem though because I have not come up with any use cases where this is actually useful in practice. If/when we come up with a compelling user for this we may need to revisit this.

For performance reasons we want to avoid updating the tail pointer in the driver tx ring as much as possible. To accomplish this we add batching support to the redirect path in XDP. This adds another ndo op "xdp_flush" that is used to inform the driver that it should bump the tail pointer on the TX ring.

BPF programs can use the devmap with a bpf_redirect_map() helper routine to forward packets to netdevice in map.

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.
