[PATCH ipsec-next v1 0/7] Add bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() kfunc

From: Daniel Xu
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 13:21:14 EST



This patchset adds two kfunc helpers, bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state() and
bpf_xdp_xfrm_state_release() that wrap xfrm_state_lookup() and
xfrm_state_put(). The intent is to support software RSS (via XDP) for
the ongoing/upcoming ipsec pcpu work [0]. Recent experiments performed
on (hopefully) reproducible AWS testbeds indicate that single tunnel
pcpu ipsec can reach line rate on 100G ENA nics.

Note this patchset only tests/shows generic xfrm_state access. The
"secret sauce" (if you can really even call it that) involves accessing
a soon-to-be-upstreamed pcpu_num field in xfrm_state. Early example is
available here [1].
