bpf: Add redirect_neigh helper as redirect drop-in
Add a redirect_neigh() helper as redirect() drop-in replacement
for the xmit side. Main idea for the helper is to be very similar
in semantics to the latter just that the skb gets injected into
the neighboring subsystem in order to let the stack do the work
it knows best anyway to populate the L2 addresses of the packet
and then hand over to dev_queue_xmit() as redirect() does.
This solves two bigger items: i) skbs don't need to go up to the
stack on the host facing veth ingress side for traffic egressing
the container to achieve the same for populating L2 which also
has the huge advantage that ii) the skb->sk won't get orphaned in
ip_rcv_core() when entering the IP routing layer on the host stack.
Given that skb->sk neither gets orphaned when crossing the netns
as per 9c4c325252c5 ("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing
the skb.") the helper can then push the skbs directly to the phys
device where FQ scheduler can do its work and TCP stack gets proper
backpressure given we hold on to skb->sk as long as skb is still
residing in queues.
With the helper used in BPF data path to then push the skb to the
phys device, I observed a stable/consistent TCP_STREAM improvement
on veth devices for traffic going container -> host -> host ->
container from ~10Gbps to ~15Gbps for a single stream in my test
environment.
