This is so that the return value can be one of the XDP program return +codes up to ``XDP_TX``, as chosen by the caller. The higher bits of ``flags`` +can be set to ``BPF_F_BROADCAST`` or ``BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS`` as defined +below. + +With ``BPF_F_BROADCAST`` the packet will be broadcast to all the interfaces +in the map, with ``BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS`` the ingress interface will be excluded +from the broadcast. + +.. note:: + - The key is ignored if BPF_F_BROADCAST is set. + - The broadcast feature can also be used to implement multicast forwarding: + simply create multiple DEVMAPs, each one corresponding to a single multicast group. + +This helper will return ``XDP_REDIRECT`` on success, or the value of the two +lower bits of the ``flags`` argument if the map lookup fails. + +More information about redirection can be found :doc:`redirect` + +.. c:function:: + void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(struct bpf_map *map, const void *key) + +Net device entries can be retrieved using the ``bpf_map_lookup_elem()`` +helper. + +Userspace +--------- +.. note:: + DEVMAP entries can only be updated/deleted from user space and not + from an eBPF program.

Programs are run after ``XDP_REDIRECT`` and have + access to both Rx device and Tx device. The program associated with the ``fd`` + must have type XDP with expected attach type ``xdp_devmap``. + When a program is associated with a device index, the program is run on an + ``XDP_REDIRECT`` and before the buffer is added to the per-cpu queue.
