RSC will flush its descriptors every time the interrupt throttle timer expires. In addition there are known issues with RSC when the rx-usecs value is set too low. As such we are forced to clear the RSC_ENABLED bit and reset the adapter when the rx-usecs value is set too low. However we do not need to clear the NETIF_F_LRO flag because it is used to indicate that the user wants to leave the LRO feature enabled, and in fact with this change we will now re-enable RSC as soon as the rx-usecs value is increased and the flag is still set.

This change makes it so that we perform link setup with interrupts disabled. If the SFP has not been detected previously we will schedule the SFP detection task to run in order to detect link. By doing this we avoid the possibility of interrupts firing in the middle of our link setup during ixgbe_up_complete. In addition this change makes it so that the multi-speed fiber setup and SFP setup are not mutually exclusive. The addresses issues seen in which a link would only come up at 1G on some multi-speed fiber modules.

This change adds a set of state flags to the rings that allow them to independently function allowing for features like RSC, packet split, and TX hang detection to be done per ring instead of for the entire device. This is accomplished by re-purposing the flow director reinit_state member and making it a global state instead since a long for a single bit flag is a bit wasteful.

This is the start of work to sort out what belongs in the rings and what belongs in the q_vector. Items like the CPU variable for make much more sense in the q_vector since the CPU is a per-interrupt thing rather than a per ring thing. I also added a back-pointer from the ring to the q_vector.

This change moves an adapter pointer into the private portion of the pci_dev instead of a pointer to the netdev. The reason for this change is because in most cases we just want the adapter anyway. In addition as we start moving toward multiple netdevs per port we may want to move the adapter pointer out of the netdevs entirely.

The main reason for this change is to keep the suspend/resume logic matched up. The clear_interrupt_scheme function will disable MSI-X which will effect the PCIe configuration space. Therefore we will want to do it before we save state to avoid having the interrupt state restored by pci_restore_state, and then trying to re-enable MSI/MSI-X interrupts via ixgbe_setup_interrupt_scheme.

This change places a netdev pointer directly into the ring structure. This way we can avoid having to determine which netdev we are supposed to be using and can just access the one on the ring directly. As a result of this change further collapse of the code is possible by dropping the adapter from ixgbe_alloc_rx_buffers, and the netdev pointer from ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring_adv and ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx.

This change drops ring->head since it is not used in any hot-path and can easily be determined using IXGBE_[RT]DH(ring->reg_idx). It also changes ring->tail into a true pointer so we can avoid unnecessary pointer math to find the location of the tail. In addition I also dropped the setting of head and tail in ixgbe_clean_[rx|tx]_ring. The only location that should be setting the head and tail values is ixgbe_configure_[rx|tx]_ring and that is only while the queue is disabled.

Currently the high and low water marks for PFC are being set conservatively for jumbo frames. This means the RX buffers are being underutilized in the default 1500 MTU. This patch fixes this so that the water marks are set as described in the data sheet considering the MTU size. The equation used is, RTT * 1.44 + MTU * 1.44 + MTU Where RTT is the round trip time and MTU is the max frame size in KB. To avoid floating point arithmetic FC_HIGH_WATER is defined ((((RTT + MTU) * 144) + 99) / 100) + MTU This changes how the hardware field fc.low_water and fc.high_water are used. With this change they are no longer storing the actual low water and high water markers but are storing the required head room in the buffer. This simplifies the logic and we do not need to account for the size of the buffer when setting the thresholds. Testing with iperf and 16 threads showed a slight uptick in throughput over a single traffic class .1-.2Gbps and a reduction in pause frames. Without the patch a 30 second run would show ~10-15 pause frames being transmitted with the patch ~2-5 are seen. Test were run back to back with 82599. Note RXPBSIZE is in KB and low and high water marks fields are also in KB. However the FCRT* registers are 32B granularity and right shifted 5 into the register, (((rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 1024) / 32) << 5 is the most explicit conversion here we simplify (rx_pbsize - water_mark) * 32 << 5 = (rx_pbsize - water_mark) << 10 This patch updates the PFC thresholds and legacy FC thresholds.

"cat /proc/net/dev" uses RCU protection only. Its quite possible we call a driver get_stats() method while device is dismantling and freeing its data structures. So get_stats() methods must be very careful not accessing driver private data without appropriate locking. In ixgbe case, we access rx_ring pointers. These pointers are freed in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() and set to NULL, this can trigger NULL dereference in ixgbe_get_stats64() A possible fix is to use RCU locking in ixgbe_get_stats64() and defer rx_ring freeing after a grace period in ixgbe_clear_interrupt_scheme() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Reported-by: Tantilov, Emil S <emil.s.tantilov@intel.com> Tested-by: Ross Brattain <ross.b.brattain@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

Right now, fields in struct sock are not optimally ordered, because each path (RX softirq, TX completion, RX user, TX user) has to touch fields that are contained in many different cache lines. The really critical thing is to shrink number of cache lines that are used at RX softirq time : CPU handling softirqs for a device can receive many frames per second for many sockets. If load is too big, we can drop frames at NIC level. RPS or multiqueue cards can help, but better reduce latency if possible. This patch starts with UDP protocol, then additional patches will try to reduce latencies of other ones as well. At RX softirq time, fields of interest for UDP protocol are : (not counting ones in inet struct for the lookup) Read/Written: sk_refcnt (atomic increment/decrement) sk_rmem_alloc & sk_backlog.len (to check if there is room in queues) sk_receive_queue sk_backlog (if socket locked by user program) sk_rxhash sk_forward_alloc sk_drops Read only: sk_rcvbuf (sk_rcvqueues_full()) sk_filter sk_wq sk_policy[0] sk_flags Additional notes : - sk_backlog has one hole on 64bit arches. We can fill it to save 8 bytes. - sk_backlog is used only if RX sofirq handler finds the socket while locked by user. - sk_rxhash is written only once per flow. - sk_drops is written only if queues are full Final layout : [1] One section grouping all read/write fields, but placing rxhash and sk_backlog at the end of this section. [2] One section grouping all read fields in RX handler (sk_filter, sk_rcv_buf, sk_wq) [3] Section used by other paths I'll post a patch on its own to put sk_refcnt at the end of struct sock_common so that it shares same cache line than section [1] New offsets on 64bit arch : sizeof(struct sock)=0x268 offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) =0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x48 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x68 offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x80 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0x80 offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x9c offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0xa4 offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xa0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0xa8 offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0xb0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0xd0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0xe0 Instead of : sizeof(struct sock)=0x270 offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt) =0x10 offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock) =0x50 offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0xc0 offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x70 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0xac offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x10c offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x128 offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0x4c offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0x16c offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0x198 offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0x88 offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0x98 offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0x130 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

packet: Enhance AF_PACKET implementation to not require high order contiguous memory allocation (v4) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Version 4 of this patch. Change notes: 1) Removed extra memset. Didn't think kcalloc added a GFP_ZERO the way kzalloc did :) Summary: It was shown to me recently that systems under high load were driven very deep into swap when tcpdump was run. The reason this happened was because the AF_PACKET protocol has a SET_RINGBUFFER socket option that allows the user space application to specify how many entries an AF_PACKET socket will have and how large each entry will be. It seems the default setting for tcpdump is to set the ring buffer to 32 entries of 64 Kb each, which implies 32 order 5 allocation. Thats difficult under good circumstances, and horrid under memory pressure. I thought it would be good to make that a bit more usable. I was going to do a simple conversion of the ring buffer from contigous pages to iovecs, but unfortunately, the metadata which AF_PACKET places in these buffers can easily span a page boundary, and given that these buffers get mapped into user space, and the data layout doesn't easily allow for a change to padding between frames to avoid that, a simple iovec change is just going to break user space ABI consistency. So I've done this, I've added a three tiered mechanism to the af_packet set_ring socket option. It attempts to allocate memory in the following order: 1) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY set, so as to fail quickly without digging into swap 2) Using vmalloc 3) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY clear, causing us to try as hard as needed to get the memory The effect is that we don't disturb the system as much when we're under load, while still being able to conduct tcpdumps effectively. Tested successfully by me.
