[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/4] netfilter: Add the capability to offload flowtable in XDP layer

[Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>]

Introduce bpf_xdp_flow_offload_lookup kfunc in order to perform the
lookup of a given flowtable entry based on the fib tuple of incoming
traffic.
bpf_xdp_flow_offload_lookup can be used as building block to offload
in XDP the sw flowtable processing when the hw support is not available.

This series has been tested running the xdp_flowtable_offload eBPF program
on an ixgbe 10Gbps NIC (eno2) in order to XDP_REDIRECT the TCP traffic to
a veth pair (veth0-veth1) based on the content of the nf_flowtable as soon
as the TCP connection is in the established state:

[tcp client] (eno1) == LAN == (eno2) xdp_flowtable_offload [XDP_REDIRECT] --> veth0 == veth1 [tcp server]

table inet filter {
	flowtable ft {
		hook ingress priority filter
		devices = { eno2, veth0 }
	}
	chain forward {
		type filter hook forward priority filter
		meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow add @ft
	}
}

-  sw flowtable [1 TCP stream, T = 300s]: ~ 6.2 Gbps
- xdp flowtable [1 TCP stream, T = 300s]: ~ 7.6 Gbps

-  sw flowtable [3 TCP stream, T = 300s]: ~ 7.7 Gbps
- xdp flowtable [3 TCP stream, T = 300s]: ~ 8.8 Gbps

Changes since v1:
- return NULL in bpf_xdp_flow_offload_lookup kfunc in case of error
- take into account kfunc registration possible failures
Changes since RFC:
- fix compilation error if BTF is not enabled
