[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/8] Add support for transmitting packets using XDP in bpf_prog_run()

["Toke Høiland-Jørgensen" <toke@redhat.com>]

This series adds support for transmitting packets using XDP in
bpf_prog_run(), by enabling the xdp_do_redirect() callback so XDP programs
can perform "real" redirects to devices or maps, using an opt-in flag when
executing the program.

The primary use case for this is testing the redirect map types and the
ndo_xdp_xmit driver operation without generating external traffic. But it
turns out to also be useful for creating a programmable traffic generator.
The last patch adds a sample traffic generator to bpf/samples, which
can transmit up to 11.5 Mpps/core on my test machine.

To transmit the frames, the new mode instantiates a page_pool structure in
bpf_prog_run() and initialises the pages with the data passed in by
userspace. These pages can then be redirected using the normal redirection
mechanism, and the existing page_pool code takes care of returning and
recycling them. The setup is optimised for high performance with a high
number of repetitions to support stress testing and the traffic generator
use case; see patch 6 for details.

The series is structured as follows: Patches 1-2 adds a few features to
page_pool that are needed for the usage in bpf_prog_run(). Similarly,
patches 3-5 performs a couple of preparatory refactorings of the XDP
redirect and memory management code. Patch 6 adds the support to
bpf_prog_run() itself, patch 7 adds a selftest, and patch 8 adds the
traffic generator example to samples/bpf.

v3:
- Reorder patches to make sure they all build individually (Patchwork)
- Remove a couple of unused variables (Patchwork)
- Remove unlikely() annotation in slow path and add back John's ACK that I
  accidentally dropped for v2 (John)

v2:
- Split up up __xdp_do_redirect to avoid passing two pointers to it (John)
- Always reset context pointers before each test run (John)
- Use get_mac_addr() from xdp_sample_user.h instead of rolling our own (Kumar)
- Fix wrong offset for metadata pointer

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen (8):
  xdp: Allow registering memory model without rxq reference
  page_pool: Add callback to init pages when they are allocated
  page_pool: Store the XDP mem id
  xdp: Move conversion to xdp_frame out of map functions
  xdp: add xdp_do_redirect_frame() for pre-computed xdp_frames
  bpf: Add XDP_REDIRECT support to XDP for bpf_prog_run()
  selftests/bpf: Add selftest for XDP_REDIRECT in bpf_prog_run()
  samples/bpf: Add xdp_trafficgen sample
