There is a need to separate the xdp_redirect tracepoint into two tracepoints, for separating the error case from the normal forward case. Due to the extreme speeds XDP is operating at, loading a tracepoint have a measurable impact. Single core XDP REDIRECT (ethtool tuned rx-usecs 25) can do 13.7 Mpps forwarding, but loading a simple bpf_prog at the tracepoint (with a return 0) reduce perf to 10.2 Mpps (CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz, driver: ixgbe) The overhead of loading a bpf-based tracepoint can be calculated to cost 25 nanosec ((1/13782002-1/10267937)*10^9 = -24.83 ns). Using perf record on the tracepoint event, with a non-matching --filter expression, the overhead is much larger. Performance drops to 8.3 Mpps, cost 48 nanosec ((1/13782002-1/8312497)*10^9 = -47.74)) Having a separate tracepoint for err cases, which should be less frequent, allow running a continuous monitor for errors while not affecting the redirect forward performance (this have also been verified by measurements).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
