[Patch bpf-next 0/4] tcp_bpf: improve ingress redirection performance with message corking

[Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>]

This patchset improves skmsg ingress redirection performance by a)
sophisticated batching with kworker; b) skmsg allocation caching with
kmem cache.

As a result, our patches significantly outperforms the vanilla kernel
in terms of throughput for almost all packet sizes. The percentage
improvement in throughput ranges from 3.13% to 160.92%, with smaller
packets showing the highest improvements.

For Latency, it induces slightly higher latency across most packet sizes
compared to the vanilla, which is also expected since this is a natural
side effect of batching.

Please see the detailed benchmarks:
