====================
net/smc: optimize the parallelism of SMC-R connections

This patch set attempts to optimize the parallelism of SMC-R connections,
mainly to reduce unnecessary blocking on locks, and to fix exceptions that
occur after thoses optimization.

According to Off-CPU graph, SMC worker's off-CPU as that:

smc_close_passive_work                  (1.09%)
        smcr_buf_unuse                  (1.08%)
                smc_llc_flow_initiate   (1.02%)

smc_listen_work                         (48.17%)
        __mutex_lock.isra.11            (47.96%)

An ideal SMC-R connection process should only block on the IO events
of the network, but it's quite clear that the SMC-R connection now is
queued on the lock most of the time.

The goal of this patchset is to achieve our ideal situation where
network IO events are blocked for the majority of the connection lifetime.

There are three big locks here:

1. smc_client_lgr_pending & smc_server_lgr_pending

2. llc_conf_mutex

3. rmbs_lock & sndbufs_lock

And an implementation issue:

1. confirm/delete rkey msg can't be sent concurrently while
protocol allows indeed.

Unfortunately,The above problems together affect the parallelism of
SMC-R connection. If any of them are not solved. our goal cannot
be achieved.

After this patch set, we can get a quite ideal off-CPU graph as
following:

smc_close_passive_work                                  (41.58%)
        smcr_buf_unuse                                  (41.57%)
                smc_llc_do_delete_rkey                  (41.57%)

smc_listen_work                                         (39.10%)
        smc_clc_wait_msg                                (13.18%)
                tcp_recvmsg_locked                      (13.18)
        smc_listen_find_device                          (25.87%)
                smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs                       (25.87%)
                        smc_llc_do_confirm_rkey         (25.87%)

We can see that most of the waiting times are waiting for network IO
events. This also has a certain performance improvement on our
short-lived conenction wrk/nginx benchmark test:

+--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+
|conns/qps     |c4    | c8   |  c16  |  c32   | c64  |  c200  |
+--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+
|SMC-R before  |9.7k  | 10k  |  10k  |  9.9k  | 9.1k |  8.9k  |
+--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+
|SMC-R now     |13k   | 19k  |  18k  |  16k   | 15k  |  12k   |
+--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+
|TCP           |15k   | 35k  |  51k  |  80k   | 100k |  162k  |
+--------------+------+------+-------+--------+------+--------+

The reason why the benefit is not obvious after the number of connections
has increased dues to workqueue. If we try to change workqueue to UNBOUND,
we can obtain at least 4-5 times performance improvement, reach up to half
of TCP. However, this is not an elegant solution, the optimization of it
will be much more complicated. But in any case, we will submit relevant
optimization patches as soon as possible.

Please note that the premise here is that the lock related problem
must be solved first, otherwise, no matter how we optimize the workqueue,
there won't be much improvement.

Because there are a lot of related changes to the code, if you have
any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

      net/smc: replace mutex rmbs_lock and sndbufs_lock with rw_semaphore · aff7bfed
      D. Wythe authored 
      It's clear that rmbs_lock and sndbufs_lock are aims to protect the
rmbs list or the sndbufs list.

During connection establieshment, smc_buf_get_slot() will always
be invoked, and it only performs read semantics in rmbs list and
sndbufs list.

Based on the above considerations, we replace mutex with rw_semaphore.
Only smc_buf_get_slot() use down_read() to allow smc_buf_get_slot()
run concurrently, other part use down_write() to keep exclusive
semantics.

      net/smc: reduce unnecessary blocking in smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() · 4da68744
      D. Wythe authored 
      Unlike smc_buf_create() and smcr_buf_unuse(), smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() is
exclusive when assigned rmb_desc was not registered, although it can be
executed in parallel when assigned rmb_desc was registered already
and only performs read semtamics on it. Hence, we can not simply replace
it with read semaphore.

The idea here is that if the assigned rmb_desc was registered already,
use read semaphore to protect the critical section, once the assigned
rmb_desc was not registered, keep using keep write semaphore still
to keep its exclusivity.

Thanks to the reusable features of rmb_desc, which allows us to execute
in parallel in most cases.

      net/smc: use read semaphores to reduce unnecessary blocking in smc_buf_create() & smcr_buf_unuse() · f6421014
      D. Wythe authored 
      Following is part of Off-CPU graph during frequent SMC-R short-lived
processing:

process_one_work				(51.19%)
smc_close_passive_work			(28.36%)
	smcr_buf_unuse				(28.34%)
	rwsem_down_write_slowpath		(28.22%)

smc_listen_work				(22.83%)
	smc_clc_wait_msg			(1.84%)
	smc_buf_create				(20.45%)
		smcr_buf_map_usable_links
		rwsem_down_write_slowpath	(20.43%)
	smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs			(0.53%)
		rwsem_down_write_slowpath	(0.43%)
		smc_llc_do_confirm_rkey		(0.08%)

We can clearly see that during the connection establishment time,
waiting time of connections is not on IO, but on llc_conf_mutex.

What is more important, the core critical area (smcr_buf_unuse() &
smc_buf_create()) only perfroms read semantics on links, we can
easily replace it with read semaphore.

      net/smc: llc_conf_mutex refactor, replace it with rw_semaphore · b5dd4d69
      D. Wythe authored 
      llc_conf_mutex was used to protect links and link related configurations
in the same link group, for example, add or delete links. However,
in most cases, the protected critical area has only read semantics and
with no write semantics at all, such as obtaining a usable link or an
available rmb_desc.

This patch do simply code refactoring, replace mutex with rw_semaphore,
replace mutex_lock with down_write and replace mutex_unlock with
up_write.

Theoretically, this replacement is equivalent, but after this patch,
we can distinguish lock granularity according to different semantics
of critical areas.

====================
Updates to ENETC TXQ management

The set ensures that the number of TXQs given by enetc to the network
stack (mqprio or TX hashing) + the number of TXQs given to XDP never
exceeds the number of available TXQs.

These are the first 4 patches of series "[v5,net-next,00/17] ENETC
mqprio/taprio cleanup" from here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230202003621.2679603-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

There is no change in this version compared to there. I split them off
because this contains a fix for net-next and it would be good if it
could go in quickly. I also did it to reduce the patch count of that
other series, if I need to respin it again.

      net: enetc: ensure we always have a minimum number of TXQs for stack · 800db2d1
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      Currently it can happen that an mqprio qdisc is installed with num_tc 8,
and this will reserve 8 (out of 8) TXQs for the network stack. Then we
can attach an XDP program, and this will crop 2 TXQs, leaving just 6 for
mqprio. That's not what the user requested, and we should fail it.

On the other hand, if mqprio isn't requested, we still give the 8 TXQs
to the network stack (with hashing among a single traffic class), but
then, cropping 2 TXQs for XDP is fine, because the user didn't
explicitly ask for any number of TXQs, so no expectations are violated.

Simply put, the logic that mqprio should impose a minimum number of TXQs
for the network never existed. Let's say (more or less arbitrarily) that
without mqprio, the driver expects a minimum number of TXQs equal to the
number of CPUs (on NXP LS1028A, that is either 1, or 2). And with mqprio,
mqprio gives the minimum required number of TXQs.

      net: enetc: recalculate num_real_tx_queues when XDP program attaches · 4ea1dd74
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      Since the blamed net-next commit, enetc_setup_xdp_prog() no longer goes
through enetc_open(), and therefore, the function which was supposed to
detect whether a BPF program exists (in order to crop some TX queues
from network stack usage), enetc_num_stack_tx_queues(), no longer gets
called.

We can move the netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() call to enetc_alloc_msix()
(probe time), since it is a runtime invariant. We can do the same thing
with netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(), and let enetc_reconfigure_xdp_cb()
explicitly recalculate and change the number of stack TX queues.

      Some applications seem to rely on RAW sockets.

If they use private netns, we can avoid piling all RAW
sockets bound to a given protocol into a single bucket.

Also place (struct raw_hashinfo).lock into its own
cache line to limit false sharing.

Alternative would be to have per-netns hashtables,
but this seems too expensive for most netns
where RAW sockets are not used.
