The XDP_REDIRECT implementations for maps and non-maps are fairly similar, but obviously need to take different code paths depending on if the target is using a map or not. Today, the redirect targets for XDP either uses a map, or is based on ifindex. Here, the map type and id are added to bpf_redirect_info, instead of the actual map. Map type, map item/ifindex, and the map_id (if any) is passed to xdp_do_redirect(). For ifindex-based redirect, used by the bpf_redirect() XDP BFP helper, a special map type/id are used. Map type of UNSPEC together with map id equal to INT_MAX has the special meaning of an ifindex based redirect. Note that valid map ids are 1 inclusive, INT_MAX exclusive ([1,INT_MAX[). In addition to making the code easier to follow, using explicit type and id in bpf_redirect_info has a slight positive performance impact by avoiding a pointer indirection for the map type lookup, and instead use the cacheline for bpf_redirect_info. Since the actual map is not passed via bpf_redirect_info anymore, the map lookup is only done in the BPF helper. This means that the bpf_clear_redirect_map() function can be removed. The actual map item is RCU protected. The bpf_redirect_info flags member is not used by XDP, and not read/written any more. The map member is only written to when required/used, and not unconditionally.

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.
