      ipvlan: use pernet operations and restrict l3s hooks to master netns · 3133822f
      Florian Westphal authored 
      commit 4fbae7d8 ("ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode") added
registration of netfilter hooks via nf_register_hooks().

This API provides the illusion of 'global' netfilter hooks by placing the
hooks in all current and future network namespaces.

In case of ipvlan the hook appears to be only needed in the namespace
that contains the ipvlan master device (i.e., usually init_net), so
placing them in all namespaces is not needed.

This switches ipvlan driver to pernet operations, and then only registers
hooks in namespaces where a ipvlan master device is set to l3s mode.

Extra care has to be taken when the master device is moved to another
namespace, as we might have to 'move' the netfilter hooks too.

This is done by storing the namespace the ipvlan port was created in.
On REGISTER event, do (un)register operations in the old/new namespaces.

This will also allow removal of the nf_register_hooks() in a future patch.

====================
virtio-net tx napi

Add napi for virtio-net transmit completion processing.

Changes:
  v2 -> v3:
    - convert __netif_tx_trylock to __netif_tx_lock on tx napi poll
          ensure that the handler always cleans, to avoid deadlock
    - unconditionally clean in start_xmit
          avoid adding an unnecessary "if (use_napi)" branch
    - remove virtqueue_disable_cb in patch 5/5
          a noop in the common event_idx based loop
    - document affinity_hint_set constraint

  v1 -> v2:
    - disable by default
    - disable unless affinity_hint_set
          because cache misses add up to a third higher cycle cost,
	  e.g., in TCP_RR tests. This is not limited to the patch
	  that enables tx completion cleaning in rx napi.
    - use trylock to avoid contention between tx and rx napi
    - keep interrupts masked during xmit_more (new patch 5/5)
          this improves cycles especially for multi UDP_STREAM, which
	  does not benefit from cleaning tx completions on rx napi.
    - move free_old_xmit_skbs (new patch 3/5)
          to avoid forward declaration

    not changed:
    - deduplicate virnet_poll_tx and virtnet_poll_txclean
          they look similar, but have differ too much to make it
	  worthwhile.
    - delay netif_wake_subqueue for more than 2 + MAX_SKB_FRAGS
          evaluated, but made no difference
    - patch 1/5

  RFC -> v1:
    - dropped vhost interrupt moderation patch:
          not needed and likely expensive at light load
    - remove tx napi weight
        - always clean all tx completions
        - use boolean to toggle tx-napi, instead
    - only clean tx in rx if tx-napi is enabled
        - then clean tx before rx
    - fix: add missing braces in virtnet_freeze_down
    - testing: add 4KB TCP_RR + UDP test results

Based on previous patchsets by Jason Wang:

  [RFC V7 PATCH 0/7] enable tx interrupts for virtio-net
  http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1505.3/00245.html

Before commit b0c39dbd ("virtio_net: don't free buffers in xmit
ring") the virtio-net driver would free transmitted packets on
transmission of new packets in ndo_start_xmit and, to catch the edge
case when no new packet is sent, also in a timer at 10HZ.

A timer can cause long stalls. VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY avoids stalls
due to low free descriptor count. It does not address a stalls due to
low socket SO_SNDBUF. Increasing timer frequency decreases that stall
time, but increases interrupt rate and, thus, cycle count.

Currently, with no timer, packets are freed only at ndo_start_xmit.
Latency of consume_skb is now unbounded. To avoid a deadlock if a sock
reaches SO_SNDBUF, packets are orphaned on tx. This breaks TCP small
queues.

Reenable TCP small queues by removing the orphan. Instead of using a
timer, convert the driver to regular tx napi. This does not have the
unresolved stall issue and does not have any frequency to tune.

By keeping interrupts enabled by default, napi increases tx
interrupt rate. VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX avoids sending an interrupt if
one is already unacknowledged, so makes this more feasible today.
Combine that with an optimization that brings interrupt rate
back in line with the existing version for most workloads:

Tx completion cleaning on rx interrupts elides most explicit tx
interrupts by relying on the fact that many rx interrupts fire.

Tested by running {1, 10, 100} {TCP, UDP} STREAM, RR, 4K_RR benchmarks
from a guest to a server on the host, on an x86_64 Haswell. The guest
runs 4 vCPUs pinned to 4 cores. vhost and the test server are
pinned to a core each.

All results are the median of 5 runs, with variance well < 10%.
Used neper (github.com/google/neper) as test process.

Napi increases single stream throughput, but increases cycle cost.
The optimizations bring this down. The previous patchset saw a
regression with UDP_STREAM, which does not benefit from cleaning tx
interrupts in rx napi. This regression is now gone for 10x, 100x.
Remaining difference is higher 1x TCP_STREAM, lower 1x UDP_STREAM.

The latest results are with process, rx napi and tx napi affine to
the same core. All numbers are lower than the previous patchset.

Note that GSO is enabled, so 4K RR still translates to one packet
per request.

Lower throughput at 100x vs 10x can be (at least in part)
explained by looking at bytes per packet sent (nstat). It likely
also explains the lower throughput of 1x for some variants.

      virtio-net: keep tx interrupts disabled unless kick · bdb12e0d
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      Tx napi mode increases the rate of transmit interrupts. Suppress some
by masking interrupts while more packets are expected. The interrupts
will be reenabled before the last packet is sent.

This optimization reduces the througput drop with tx napi for
unidirectional flows such as UDP_STREAM that do not benefit from
cleaning tx completions in the the receive napi handler.

      virtio-net: clean tx descriptors from rx napi · 7b0411ef

      Amortize the cost of virtual interrupts by doing both rx and tx work
on reception of a receive interrupt if tx napi is enabled. With
VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX, this suppresses most explicit tx completion
interrupts for bidirectional workloads.

      virtio-net: transmit napi · b92f1e67
      Willem de Bruijn authored 
      Convert virtio-net to a standard napi tx completion path. This enables
better TCP pacing using TCP small queues and increases single stream
throughput.

The virtio-net driver currently cleans tx descriptors on transmission
of new packets in ndo_start_xmit. Latency depends on new traffic, so
is unbounded. To avoid deadlock when a socket reaches its snd limit,
packets are orphaned on tranmission. This breaks socket backpressure,
including TSQ.

Napi increases the number of interrupts generated compared to the
current model, which keeps interrupts disabled as long as the ring
has enough free descriptors. Keep tx napi optional and disabled for
now. Follow-on patches will reduce the interrupt cost.

      sparc64: Improve 64-bit constant loading in eBPF JIT. · 14933dc8
      David S. Miller authored 
      Doing a full 64-bit decomposition is really stupid especially for
simple values like 0 and -1.

But if we are going to optimize this, go all the way and try for all 2
and 3 instruction sequences not requiring a temporary register as
well.

First we do the easy cases where it's a zero or sign extended 32-bit
number (sethi+or, sethi+xor, respectively).

Then we try to find a range of set bits we can load simply then shift
up into place, in various ways.

Then we try negating the constant and see if we can do a simple
sequence using that with a xor at the end.  (f.e. the range of set
bits can't be loaded simply, but for the negated value it can)

The final optimized strategy involves 4 instructions sequences not
needing a temporary register.

Otherwise we sadly fully decompose using a temp..

Example, from ALU64_XOR_K: 0x0000ffffffff0000 ^ 0x0 = 0x0000ffffffff0000:

0000000000000000 <foo>:
   0:   9d e3 bf 50     save  %sp, -176, %sp
   4:   01 00 00 00     nop
   8:   90 10 00 18     mov  %i0, %o0
   c:   13 3f ff ff     sethi  %hi(0xfffffc00), %o1
  10:   92 12 63 ff     or  %o1, 0x3ff, %o1     ! ffffffff <foo+0xffffffff>
  14:   93 2a 70 10     sllx  %o1, 0x10, %o1
  18:   15 3f ff ff     sethi  %hi(0xfffffc00), %o2
  1c:   94 12 a3 ff     or  %o2, 0x3ff, %o2     ! ffffffff <foo+0xffffffff>
  20:   95 2a b0 10     sllx  %o2, 0x10, %o2
  24:   92 1a 60 00     xor  %o1, 0, %o1
