      net/mlx5_core: Update device capabilities handling · c7a08ac7
      Eli Cohen authored
      Rearrange struct mlx5_caps so it has a "gen" field to represent the current
      capabilities configured for the device. Max capabilities can also be queried
      from the device. Also update capabilities struct to contain more fields as per
      the latest revision if firmware specification.

      qdisc: validate skb without holding lock · 55a93b3e
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Validation of skb can be pretty expensive :
      
      GSO segmentation and/or checksum computations.
      
      We can do this without holding qdisc lock, so that other cpus
      can queue additional packets.
      
      Trick is that requeued packets were already validated, so we carry
      a boolean so that sch_direct_xmit() can validate a fresh skb list,
      or directly use an old one.
      
      Tested on 40Gb NIC (8 TX queues) and 200 concurrent flows, 48 threads
      host.
      
      Turning TSO on or off had no effect on throughput, only few more cpu
      cycles. Lock contention on qdisc lock disappeared.
      
      Same if disabling TX checksum offload.

      Merge branch 'qdisc_bulk_dequeue' · c2bf5ec2
      David S. Miller authored
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:
      
      ====================
      qdisc: bulk dequeue support
      
      This patchset uses DaveM's recent API changes to dev_hard_start_xmit(),
      from the qdisc layer, to implement dequeue bulking.
      
      Patch01: "qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE"
       - Implement basic qdisc dequeue bulking
       - This time, 100% relying on BQL limits, no magic safe-guard constants
      
      Patch02: "qdisc: dequeue bulking also pickup GSO/TSO packets"
       - Extend bulking to bulk several GSO/TSO packets
       - Seperate patch, as it introduce a small regression, see test section.
      
      We do have a patch03, which exports a userspace tunable as a BQL
      tunable, that can byte-cap or disable the bulking/bursting.  But we
      could not agree on it internally, thus not sending it now.  We
      basically strive to avoid adding any new userspace tunable.
      
      Testing patch01:
      ================
       Demonstrating the performance improvement of qdisc dequeue bulking, is
      tricky because the effect only "kicks-in" once the qdisc system have a
      backlog. Thus, for a backlog to form, we need either 1) to exceed wirespeed
      of the link or 2) exceed the capability of the device driver.
      
      For practical use-cases, the measureable effect of this will be a
      reduction in CPU usage
      
      01-TCP_STREAM:
      --------------
      Testing effect for TCP involves disabling TSO and GSO, because TCP
      already benefit from bulking, via TSO and especially for GSO segmented
      packets.  This patch view TSO/GSO as a seperate kind of bulking, and
      avoid further bulking of these packet types.
      
      The measured perf diff benefit (at 10Gbit/s) for a single netperf
      TCP_STREAM were 9.24% less CPU used on calls to _raw_spin_lock()
      (mostly from sch_direct_xmit).
      
      If my E5-2695v2(ES) CPU is tuned according to:
       http://netoptimizer.blogspot.dk/2014/04/basic-tuning-for-network-overload.html
      Then it is possible that a single netperf TCP_STREAM, with GSO and TSO
      disabled, can utilize all bandwidth on a 10Gbit/s link.  This will
      then cause a standing backlog queue at the qdisc layer.
      
      Trying to pressure the system some more CPU util wise, I'm starting
      24x TCP_STREAMs and monitoring the overall CPU utilization.  This
      confirms bulking saves CPU cycles when it "kicks-in".
      
      Tool mpstat, while stressing the system with netperf 24x TCP_STREAM, shows:
       * Disabled bulking: sys:2.58%  soft:8.50%  idle:88.78%
       * Enabled  bulking: sys:2.43%  soft:7.66%  idle:89.79%
      
      02-UDP_STREAM
      -------------
      The measured perf diff benefit for UDP_STREAM were 6.41% less CPU used
      on calls to _raw_spin_lock().  24x UDP_STREAM with packet size -m 1472 (to
      avoid sending UDP/IP fragments).
      
      03-trafgen driver test
      ----------------------
      The performance of the 10Gbit/s ixgbe driver is limited due to
      updating the HW ring-queue tail-pointer on every packet.  As
      previously demonstrated with pktgen.
      
      Using trafgen to send RAW frames from userspace (via AF_PACKET), and
      forcing it through qdisc path (with option --qdisc-path and -t0),
      sending with 12 CPUs.
      
      I can demonstrate this driver layer limitation:
       * 12.8 Mpps with no qdisc bulking
       * 14.8 Mpps with qdisc bulking (full 10G-wirespeed)
      
      Testing patch02:
      ================
      Testing Bulking several GSO/TSO packets:
      
      Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with
      netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions
      (requeues were in the area 32 requeues/sec for 10G while transmitting
      approx 813Kpps).
      
      Bulking several GSOs does show small regression or very small
      improvement (requeues were in the area 8000 requeues/sec, for 10G
      while transmitting approx 813Kpps).
      
       Using ixgbe 10Gbit/s with GSO bulking, we can measure some additional
      latency. Base-case, which is "normal" GSO bulking, sees varying
      high-prio queue delay between 0.38ms to 0.47ms.  Bulking several GSOs
      together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of 0.50ms.
      
      Corrosponding to:
       (10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.47)/10^3)/8 = 37500 bytes
       (10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.38)/10^3)/8 = 150000 bytes
       37500/1500  = 25 pkts
       150000/1500 = 100 pkts
      
       Using igb at 100Mbit/s with GSO bulking, shows an improvement.
      Base-case sees varying high-prio queue delay between 2.23ms to 2.35ms
      diff of 0.12ms corrosponding to 1500 bytes at 100Mbit/s. Bulking
      several GSOs together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of
      2.23ms.

      qdisc: dequeue bulking also pickup GSO/TSO packets · 808e7ac0
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      The TSO and GSO segmented packets already benefit from bulking
      on their own.
      
      The TSO packets have always taken advantage of the only updating
      the tailptr once for a large packet.
      
      The GSO segmented packets have recently taken advantage of
      bulking xmit_more API, via merge commit 53fda7f7 ("Merge
      branch 'xmit_list'"), specifically via commit 7f2e870f ("net:
      Move main gso loop out of dev_hard_start_xmit() into helper.")
      allowing qdisc requeue of remaining list.  And via commit
      ce93718f ("net: Don't keep around original SKB when we
      software segment GSO frames.").
      
      This patch allow further bulking of TSO/GSO packets together,
      when dequeueing from the qdisc.
      
      Testing:
       Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with
      netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions

      qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE · 5772e9a3
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Based on DaveM's recent API work on dev_hard_start_xmit(), that allows
      sending/processing an entire skb list.
      
      This patch implements qdisc bulk dequeue, by allowing multiple packets
      to be dequeued in dequeue_skb().
      
      The optimization principle for this is two fold, (1) to amortize
      locking cost and (2) avoid expensive tailptr update for notifying HW.
       (1) Several packets are dequeued while holding the qdisc root_lock,
      amortizing locking cost over several packet.  The dequeued SKB list is
      processed under the TXQ lock in dev_hard_start_xmit(), thus also
      amortizing the cost of the TXQ lock.
       (2) Further more, dev_hard_start_xmit() will utilize the skb->xmit_more
      API to delay HW tailptr update, which also reduces the cost per
      packet.
      
      One restriction of the new API is that every SKB must belong to the
      same TXQ.  This patch takes the easy way out, by restricting bulk
      dequeue to qdisc's with the TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag, that specifies the
      qdisc only have attached a single TXQ.
      
      Some detail about the flow; dev_hard_start_xmit() will process the skb
      list, and transmit packets individually towards the driver (see
      xmit_one()).  In case the driver stops midway in the list, the
      remaining skb list is returned by dev_hard_start_xmit().  In
      sch_direct_xmit() this returned list is requeued by dev_requeue_skb().
      
      To avoid overshooting the HW limits, which results in requeuing, the
      patch limits the amount of bytes dequeued, based on the drivers BQL
      limits.  In-effect bulking will only happen for BQL enabled drivers.
      
      Small amounts for extra HoL blocking (2x MTU/0.24ms) were
      measured at 100Mbit/s, with bulking 8 packets, but the
      oscillating nature of the measurement indicate something, like
      sched latency might be causing this effect. More comparisons
      show, that this oscillation goes away occationally. Thus, we
      disregard this artifact completely and remove any "magic" bulking
      limit.
      
      For now, as a conservative approach, stop bulking when seeing TSO and
      segmented GSO packets.  They already benefit from bulking on their own.
      A followup patch add this, to allow easier bisect-ability for finding
      regressions.
      
      Jointed work with Hannes, Daniel and Florian.

      ====================
      Its worth noting why this is safe. Any running schedulers will either
      read the valid class field or it will be zeroed.
      
      All schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the
      same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running
      classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get
      to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because
      the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.

      ====================
      udp: Generalize GSO for UDP tunnels
      
      This patch set generalizes the UDP tunnel segmentation functions so
      that they can work with various protocol encapsulations. The primary
      change is to set the inner_protocol field in the skbuff when creating
      the encapsulated packet, and then in skb_udp_tunnel_segment this data
      is used to determine the function for segmenting the encapsulated
      packet. The inner_protocol field is overloaded to take either an
      Ethertype or IP protocol.
      
      The inner_protocol is set on transmit using skb_set_inner_ipproto or
      skb_set_inner_protocol functions. VXLAN and IP tunnels (for fou GSO)
      were modified to call these.
      
      Notes:
        - GSO for GRE/UDP where GRE checksum is enabled does not work.
          Handling this will require some special case code.
        - Software GSO now supports many varieties of encapsulation with
          SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL{_CSUM}. We still need a mechanism to query
          for device support of particular combinations (I intend to
          add ndo_gso_check for that).
        - MPLS seems to be the only previous user of inner_protocol. I don't
          believe these patches can affect that. For supporting GSO with
          MPLS over UDP, the inner_protocol should be set using the
          helper functions in this patch.
        - GSO for L2TP/UDP should also be straightforward now.
      
      v2:
        - Respin for Eric's restructuring of skbuff.

      udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment · 8bce6d7d
      Tom Herbert authored
      skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to
      segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes
      segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN
      encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to
      operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol.
      
      The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner
      header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol
      (in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is
      effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto
      helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These
      functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation
      is occuring.
      
      When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the
      inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the
      case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from
      inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is
      set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE
      currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol
      in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function
      directly).

      bpf: add search pruning optimization and tests
      
      patch #1 commit log explains why eBPF verifier has to examine some
      instructions multiple times and describes the search pruning optimization
      that improves verification speed for branchy programs and allows more
      complex programs to be verified successfully.
      This patch completes the core verifier logic.
      
      patch #2 adds more verifier tests related to branches and search pruning
      
      I'm still working on Andy's 'bitmask for stack slots' suggestion. It will be
      done on top of this patch.
      
      The current verifier algorithm is brute force depth first search with
      state pruning. If anyone can come up with another algorithm that demonstrates
      better results, we'll replace the algorithm without affecting user space.
      
      Note verifier doesn't guarantee that all possible valid programs are accepted.
      Overly complex programs may still be rejected.
      Verifier improvements/optimizations will guarantee that if a program
      was passing verification in the past, it will still be passing.

      consider C program represented in eBPF:
      int filter(int arg)
      {
          int a, b, c, *ptr;
      
          if (arg == 1)
              ptr = &a;
          else if (arg == 2)
              ptr = &b;
          else
              ptr = &c;
      
          *ptr = 0;
          return 0;
      }
      eBPF verifier has to follow all possible paths through the program
      to recognize that '*ptr = 0' instruction would be safe to execute
      in all situations.
      It's doing it by picking a path towards the end and observes changes
      to registers and stack at every insn until it reaches bpf_exit.
      Then it comes back to one of the previous branches and goes towards
      the end again with potentially different values in registers.
      When program has a lot of branches, the number of possible combinations
      of branches is huge, so verifer has a hard limit of walking no more
      than 32k instructions. This limit can be reached and complex (but valid)
      programs could be rejected. Therefore it's important to recognize equivalent
      verifier states to prune this depth first search.
      
      Basic idea can be illustrated by the program (where .. are some eBPF insns):
          1: ..
          2: if (rX == rY) goto 4
          3: ..
          4: ..
          5: ..
          6: bpf_exit
      In the first pass towards bpf_exit the verifier will walk insns: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
      Since insn#2 is a branch the verifier will remember its state in verifier stack
      to come back to it later.
      Since insn#4 is marked as 'branch target', the verifier will remember its state
      in explored_states[4] linked list.
      Once it reaches insn#6 successfully it will pop the state recorded at insn#2 and
      will continue.
      Without search pruning optimization verifier would have to walk 4, 5, 6 again,
      effectively simulating execution of insns 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
      With search pruning it will check whether state at #4 after jumping from #2
      is equivalent to one recorded in explored_states[4] during first pass.
      If there is an equivalent state, verifier can prune the search at #4 and declare
      this path to be safe as well.
      In other words two states at #4 are equivalent if execution of 1, 2, 3, 4 insns
      and 1, 2, 4 insns produces equivalent registers and stack.

      net: fec: implement rx_copybreak to improve rx performance · 1b7bde6d
      Nimrod Andy authored
      - Copy short frames and keep the buffers mapped, re-allocate skb instead of
        memory copy for long frames.
      - Add support for setting/getting rx_copybreak using generic ethtool tunable
      
      Changes V3:
      * As Eric Dumazet's suggestion that removing the copybreak module parameter
        and only keep the ethtool API support for rx_copybreak.
      
      Changes V2:
      * Implements rx_copybreak
      * Rx_copybreak provides module parameter to change this value
      * Add tunable_ops support for rx_copybreak

      net: avoid one atomic operation in skb_clone() · ce1a4ea3
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Fast clone cloning can actually avoid an atomic_inc(), if we
      guarantee prior clone_ref value is 1.
      
      This requires a change kfree_skbmem(), to perform the
      atomic_dec_and_test() on clone_ref before setting fclone to
      SKB_FCLONE_UNAVAILABLE.
