bpf: sockmap with sk redirect support
Recently we added a new map type called dev map used to forward XDP packets between ports (6093ec2d). This patches introduces a similar notion for sockets. A sockmap allows users to add participating sockets to a map. When sockets are added to the map enough context is stored with the map entry to use the entry with a new helper bpf_sk_redirect_map(map, key, flags) This helper (analogous to bpf_redirect_map in XDP) is given the map and an entry in the map. When called from a sockmap program, discussed below, the skb will be sent on the socket using skb_send_sock(). With the above we need a bpf program to call the helper from that will then implement the send logic. The initial site implemented in this series is the recv_sock hook. For this to work we implemented a map attach command to add attributes to a map. In sockmap we add two programs a parse program and a verdict program. The parse program uses strparser to build messages and pass them to the verdict ...
