Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] XDP bonding support

From: Jussi Maki <joamaki@...il.com>

This patchset introduces XDP support to the bonding driver.

The motivation for this change is to enable use of bonding (and
802.3ad) in hairpinning L4 load-balancers such as [1] implemented with
XDP and also to transparently support bond devices for projects that
use XDP given most modern NICs have dual port adapters.  An alternative
to this approach would be to implement 802.3ad in user-space and
implement the bonding load-balancing in the XDP program itself, but
is rather a cumbersome endeavor in terms of slave device management
(e.g. by watching netlink) and requires separate programs for native
vs bond cases for the orchestrator. A native in-kernel implementation
overcomes these issues and provides more flexibility.

Below are benchmark results done on two machines with 100Gbit
Intel E810 (ice) NIC and with 32-core 3970X on sending machine, and
16-core 3950X on receiving machine. 64 byte packets were sent with
pktgen-dpdk at full rate. Two issues [2, 3] were identified with the
ice driver, so the tests were performed with iommu=off and patch [2]
applied. Additionally the bonding round robin algorithm was modified
to use per-cpu tx counters as high CPU load (50% vs 10%) and high rate
of cache misses were caused by the shared rr_tx_counter. Fix for this
has been already merged into net-next. The statistics were collected 
using "sar -n dev -u 1 10".

Patch 1 prepares bond_xmit_hash for hashing xdp_buff's
Patch 2 adds hooks to implement redirection after bpf prog run
Patch 3 implements the hooks in the bonding driver. 
Patch 4 modifies devmap to properly handle EXCLUDE_INGRESS with a slave device.

v1->v2:
- Split up into smaller easier to review patches and address cosmetic 
  review comments.
- Drop the INDIRECT_CALL optimization as it showed little improvement in tests.
- Drop the rr_tx_counter patch as that has already been merged into net-next.
- Separate the test suite into another patch set. This will follow later once a
  patch set from Magnus Karlsson is merged and provides test utilities that can
  be reused for XDP bonding tests. v2 contains no major functional changes and
  was tested with the test suite included in v1.
