Provide a helper for doing a FIB and neighbor lookup in the kernel
tables from an XDP program. The helper provides a fastpath for forwarding
packets. If the packet is a local delivery or for any reason is not a
simple lookup and forward, the packet continues up the stack.
If it is to be forwarded, the forwarding can be done directly if the
neighbor is already known. If the neighbor does not exist, the first
few packets go up the stack for neighbor resolution. Once resolved, the
xdp program provides the fast path.
On successful lookup the nexthop dmac, current device smac and egress
device index are returned.
The API supports IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS protocols, but only IPv4 and IPv6
are implemented in this patch. The API includes layer 4 parameters if
the XDP program chooses to do deep packet inspection to allow compare
against ACLs implemented as FIB rules.
Header rewrite is left to the XDP program.
The lookup takes 2 flags:
- BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT to do a lookup that bypasses FIB rules and goes
straight to the table associated with the device (expert setting for
those looking to maximize throughput)
- BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_OUTPUT to do a lookup from the egress perspective.
Default is an ingress lookup.
Initial performance numbers collected by Jesper, forwarded packets/sec:
Full stack XDP FIB lookup XDP Direct lookup
IPv4 1,947,969 7,074,156 7,415,333
IPv6 1,728,000 6,165,504 7,262,720
These number are single CPU core forwarding on a Broadwell
E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
