Redirecting packets with XDP Redirect is done in two phases:
1. A packet is passed by the driver to the kernel using
xdp_do_redirect().
2. After finishing polling for new packets the driver lets the kernel
know that it can now process the redirected packet using
xdp_do_flush_map().
The packets' redirection is handled in the napi context of the
queue that called xdp_do_redirect()
To avoid calling xdp_do_flush_map() each time the driver first checks
whether any packets were redirected, using
xdp_flags |= xdp_verdict;
and
if (xdp_flags & XDP_REDIRECT)
xdp_do_flush_map()
essentially treating XDP instructions as a bitmask, which isn't the case:
enum xdp_action {
XDP_ABORTED = 0,
XDP_DROP,
XDP_PASS,
XDP_TX,
XDP_REDIRECT,
};
Given the current possible values of xdp_action, the current design
doesn't have a bug (since XDP_REDIRECT = 100b), but it is still
flawed.
This patch makes the driver use a bitmask instead, to avoid future
issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
