Maxime Chevallier says: ==================== net: mvpp2: Add txq to CPU mapping This short series adds XPS support to the mvpp2 driver, by mapping txqs and CPUs. This comes with a patch using round-robin scheduling for the HW to pick the next txq to transmit from, instead of the default fixed-priority scheduling. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Maxime Chevallier authored
This commit allows each TXQ to be picked in a round-robin fashion by the PPv2 transmit scheduling mechanism. This is opposed to the default behaviour that prioritizes the highest numbered queues. Suggested-by:

Since the PPv2 controller has multiple TX queues, we can spread traffic by assining TX queues to CPUs, allowing to use XPS to balance egress traffic between CPUs. Suggested-by : Yan Markman <ymarkman@marvell.com> Signed-off-by:

Up until now, mlxsw tolerated firmware versions that weren't exactly matching the required version, if the branch number matched. That allowed the users to test various firmware versions as long as they were on the right branch. On the other hand, it made it impossible for mlxsw to put a hard lower bound on a version that fixes all problems known to date. If a user had a somewhat older FW version installed, mlxsw would start up just fine, possibly performing non-optimally as it would use features that trigger problematic behavior. Therefore tweak the check to accept any FW version that is: - on the same branch as the preferred version, and - the same as or newer than the preferred version. Signed-off-by:

Currently, ip[6]frag_high_thresh sysctl values in new namespaces are hard-limited to those of the root/init ns. There are at least two use cases when it would be desirable to set the high_thresh values higher in a child namespace vs the global hard limit: - a security/ddos protection policy may lower the thresholds in the root/init ns but allow for a special exception in a child namespace - testing: a test running in a namespace may want to set these thresholds higher in its namespace than what is in the root/init ns The new behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 The old behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 4194304 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 4194304 Signed-off-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: switch to Early Departure Time model In the early days, pacing has been implemented in sch_fq (FQ) in a generic way : - SO_MAX_PACING_RATE could be used by any sockets. - TCP would vary effective pacing rate based on CWND*MSS/SRTT - FQ would ensure delays between packets based on current sk->sk_pacing_rate, but with some quantum based artifacts. (inflating RPC tail latencies) - BBR then tweaked the pacing rate in its various phases (PROBE, DRAIN, ...) This worked reasonably well, but had the side effect that TCP RTT samples would be inflated by the sojourn time of the packets in FQ. Also note that when FQ is not used and TCP wants pacing, the internal pacing fallback has very different behavior, since TCP emits packets at the time they should be sent (with unreasonable assumptions about scheduling costs) Van Jacobson gave a talk at Netdev 0x12 in Montreal, about letting TCP (or applications for UDP messages) decide of the Earliest Departure Time, instead of letting packet schedulers derive it from pacing rate. https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/session.html?evolving-from-afap-teaching-nics-about-time https://www.files.netdevconf.org/d/46def75c2ef345809bbe/files/?p=/Evolving%20from%20AFAP%20%E2%80%93%20Teaching%20NICs%20about%20time.pdf Recent additions in linux provided SO_TXTIME and a new ETF qdisc supporting the new skb->tstamp role This patch series converts TCP and FQ to the same model. This might in the future allow us to relax tight TSQ limits (if FQ is present in the output path), and thus lower number of callbacks to tcp_write_xmit(), thanks to batching. This will be followed by FQ change allowing SO_TXTIME support so that QUIC servers can let the pacing being done in FQ (or offloaded if network device permits) For example, a TCP flow rated at 24Mbps now shows a more meaningful RTT Before : ESTAB 0 211408 10.246.7.151:41558 10.246.7.152:33723 cubic wscale:8,8 rto:203 rtt:2.195/0.084 mss:1448 rcvmss:536 advmss:1448 cwnd:20 ssthresh:20 bytes_acked:36897937 segs_out:25488 segs_in:12454 data_segs_out:25486 send 105.5Mbps lastsnd:1 lastrcv:12851 lastack:1 pacing_rate 24.0Mbps/24.0Mbps delivery_rate 22.9Mbps busy:12851ms unacked:4 rcv_space:29200 notsent:205616 minrtt:0.026 After : ESTAB 0 192584 10.246.7.151:61612 10.246.7.152:34375 cubic wscale:8,8 rto:201 rtt:0.165/0.129 mss:1448 rcvmss:536 advmss:1448 cwnd:20 ssthresh:20 bytes_acked:170755401 segs_out:117931 segs_in:57651 data_segs_out:117929 send 1404.1Mbps lastsnd:1 lastrcv:56915 lastack:1 pacing_rate 24.0Mbps/24.0Mbps delivery_rate 24.2Mbps busy:56915ms unacked:4 rcv_space:29200 notsent:186792 minrtt:0.054 A nice side effect of this patch series is a reduction of max/p99 latencies of RPC workloads, since the FQ quantum no longer adds artifact. ==================== Signed-off-by:

TCP keeps track of tcp_wstamp_ns by itself, meaning sch_fq no longer has to do it. Thanks to this model, TCP can get more accurate RTT samples, since pacing no longer inflates them. This has the nice effect of removing some delays caused by FQ quantum mechanism, causing inflated max/P99 latencies. Also we might relax TCP Small Queue tight limits in the future, since this new model allow TCP to build bigger batches, since sch_fq (or a device with earliest departure time offload) ensure these packets will be delivered on time. Note that other protocols are not converted (they will probably never be) so sch_fq has still support for SO_MAX_PACING_RATE Tested: Test showing FQ pacing quantum artifact for low-rate flows, adding unexpected throttles for RPC flows, inflating max and P99 latencies. The parameters chosen here are to show what happens typically when a TCP flow has a reduced pacing rate (this can be caused by a reduced cwin after few losses, or/and rtt above few ms) MIBS="MIN_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY" Before : $ netperf -H 10.246.7.133 -t TCP_RR -Cc -T6,6 -- -q 2000000 -r 100,100 -o $MIBS MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.133 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind Minimum Latency Microseconds,Mean Latency Microseconds,Maximum Latency Microseconds,99th Percentile Latency Microseconds,Stddev Latency Microseconds 19,82.78,5279,3825,482.02 After : $ netperf -H 10.246.7.133 -t TCP_RR -Cc -T6,6 -- -q 2000000 -r 100,100 -o $MIBS MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 10.246.7.133 () port 0 AF_INET : first burst 0 : cpu bind Minimum Latency Microseconds,Mean Latency Microseconds,Maximum Latency Microseconds,99th Percentile Latency Microseconds,Stddev Latency Microseconds 20,49.94,128,63,3.18 Signed-off-by:

TCP pacing is either implemented in sch_fq or internally. We have the goal of being able to offload pacing on the NICS. TCP will soon provide per skb skb->tstamp as early departure time. Like ETF in commit 25db26a9 ("net/sched: Introduce the ETF Qdisc") we chose CLOCK_T as the clock base, so that TCP and pacers can share a common clock, to get better RTT samples (without pacing artificially inflating these samples).

There are two tqp_num variables "hdev->tqp_num" and "kinfo->tqp_num" used in VF. "hdev->tqp_num" is the total tqp number allocated to the VF, and "kinfo->tqp_num" indicates the tqp number being used by the VF. Usually the two variables are equal. But for the case hdev->tqp_num larger than rss_size_max, and num_tc is 1, "kinfo->tqp_num" will be less than "hdev->tqp_num". In original codes, "hdev->tqp_num" is always used to traverse the tqp array of kinfo. It may cause null pointer error when "hdev->tqp_num" is larger than "kinfo->tqp_num" Fixes: e2cb1dec ("net: hns3: Add HNS3 VF HCL(Hardware Compatibility Layer) Support") Signed-off-by:
