udp: perform source validation for mcast early demux
The UDP early demux can leverate the rx dst cache even for multicast unconnected sockets. In such scenario the ipv4 source address is validated only on the first packet in the given flow. After that, when we fetch the dst entry from the socket rx cache, we stop enforcing the rp_filter and we even start accepting any kind of martian addresses. Disabling the dst cache for unconnected multicast socket will cause large performace regression, nearly reducing by half the max ingress tput. Instead we factor out a route helper to completely validate an skb source address for multicast packets and we call it from the UDP early demux for mcast packets landing on unconnected sockets, after successful fetching the related cached dst entry. This still gives a measurable, but limited performance regression: rp_filter = 0 rp_filter = 1 edmux disabled: 1182 Kpps 1127 Kpps edmux before: 2238 Kpps 2238 Kpps edmux after: 2037 Kpps 2019 Kpps The above figures ...
