Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2018-03-30 This series contains updates to mlx5 core and mlx5e netdev drivers. The main highlight of this series is the RX optimizations for striding RQ path, introduced by Tariq. First Four patches are trivial misc cleanups. - Spelling mistake fix - Dead code removal - Warning messages RX optimizations for striding RQ: 1) RX refactoring, cleanups and micro optimizations - MTU calculation simplifications, obsoletes some WQEs-to-packets translation functions and helps delete ~60 LOC. - Do not busy-wait a pending UMR completion. - post the new values of UMR WQE inline, instead of using a data pointer. - use pre-initialized structures to save calculations in datapath. 2) Use linear SKB in Striding RQ "build_skb", (Using linear SKB has many advantages): - Saves a memcpy of the headers. - No page-boundary checks in datapath. - No filler CQEs. - Significantly smaller CQ. - SKB data continuously resides in linear part, and not split to small amount (linear part) and large amount (fragment). This saves datapath cycles in driver and improves utilization of SKB fragments in GRO. - The fragments of a resulting GRO SKB follow the IP forwarding assumption of equal-size fragments. implementation details: HW writes the packets to the beginning of a stride, i.e. does not keep headroom. To overcome this we make sure we can extend backwards and use the last bytes of stride i-1. Extra care is needed for stride 0 as it has no preceding stride. We make sure headroom bytes are available by shifting the buffer pointer passed to HW by headroom bytes. This configuration now becomes default, whenever capable. Of course, this implies turning LRO off. Performance testing: ConnectX-5, single core, single RX ring, default MTU. UDP packet rate, early drop in TC layer: -------------------------------------------- | pkt size | before | after | ratio | -------------------------------------------- | 1500byte | 4.65 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.28x | | 500byte | 5.23 Mpps | 5.97 Mpps | 1.14x | | 64byte | 5.94 Mpps | 5.96 Mpps | 1.00x | -------------------------------------------- TCP streams: ~20% gain 3) Support XDP over Striding RQ: Now that linear SKB is supported over Striding RQ, we can support XDP by setting stride size to PAGE_SIZE and headroom to XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM. Striding RQ is capable of a higher packet-rate than conventional RQ. Performance testing: ConnectX-5, 24 rings, default MTU. CQE compression ON (to reduce completions BW in PCI). XDP_DROP packet rate: -------------------------------------------------- | pkt size | XDP rate | 100GbE linerate | pct% | -------------------------------------------------- | 64byte | 126.2 Mpps | 148.0 Mpps | 85% | | 128byte | 80.0 Mpps | 84.8 Mpps | 94% | | 256byte | 42.7 Mpps | 42.7 Mpps | 100% | | 512byte | 23.4 Mpps | 23.4 Mpps | 100% | -------------------------------------------------- 4) Remove mlx5 page_ref bulking in Striding RQ and use page_ref_inc only when needed. Without this bulking, we have: - no atomic ops on WQE allocation or free - one atomic op per SKB - In the default MTU configuration (1500, stride size is 2K), the non-bulking method execute 2 atomic ops as before - For larger MTUs with stride size of 4K, non-bulking method executes only a single op. - For XDP (stride size of 4K, no SKBs), non-bulking have no atomic ops per packet at all. Performance testing: ConnectX-5, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz. Single core packet rate (64 bytes). Early drop in TC: no degradation. XDP_DROP: before: 14,270,188 pps after: 20,503,603 pps, 43% improvement. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() is executed under pernet_ops_rwsem, net_namespace_list can't change, while we holding it, so there is no need net_rwsem in these functions [1/2]. The same is in [2/2]. We make callers of __rtnl_link_unregister() take pernet_ops_rwsem, and close the race with setup_net() and cleanup_net(), so __rtnl_link_unregister() does not need it.

This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here. This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem, like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers to take it (they won't have to care about context). Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier() always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context. Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe74 "Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...", and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip exitting net.

These functions take net_rwsem, while wireless_nlevent_flush() also takes it. But down_read() can't be taken recursive, because of rw_semaphore design, which prevents it to be occupied by only readers forever. Since we take pernet_ops_rwsem in {,un}register_netdevice_notifier(), net list can't change, so these down_read()/up_read() can be removed.

There is no need for explicit calls of devm_kfree(), as the allocated memory will be freed during driver's detach. The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release. Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL. So remove the unnecessary pci_set_drvdata() and devm_kfree().

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in the table. When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key. Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated 'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding range item can be found. These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for handling such cases.

The current design of the binding table has an unnecessary memory consuming and complex data structure. It aggregates the service range items into an array, which is expanded by a factor two every time it becomes too small to hold a new item. Furthermore, the arrays never shrink when the number of ranges diminishes. We now replace this array with an RB tree that is holding the range items as tree nodes, each range directly holding a list of bindings. This, along with a few name changes, improves both readability and volume of the code, as well as reducing memory consumption and hopefully improving cache hit rate.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: MTU handling changes As previously discussed the recent changes break some setups and could lead to packet drops. Thus the first patch reverts the behaviour for the bridge to follow the minimum MTU but also keeps the ability to set the MTU to the maximum (out of all ports) if vlan filtering is enabled. Patch 02 is the bigger change in behaviour - we've always had trouble when configuring bridges and their MTU which is auto tuning on port events (add/del/changemtu), which means config software needs to chase it and fix it after each such event, after patch 02 we allow the user to configure any MTU (ETH_MIN/MAX limited) but once that is done the bridge stops auto tuning and relies on the user to keep the MTU correct. This should be compatible with cases that don't touch the MTU (or set it to the same value), while allowing to configure the MTU and not worry about it changing afterwards. The patches are intentionally split like this, so that if they get accepted and there are any complaints patch 02 can be reverted. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.

Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback supplying it will all necessary info, such as device state flags, multicast mac addresses list and so on. Since we have only 128 bits to communicate with PF we need to initiate several requests to PF with small/short operation each based on input data. So this commit implements following PF messages codes along with new data structures for them: NIC_MBOX_MSG_RESET_XCAST to flush all filters configured for this particular network interface (VF) NIC_MBOX_MSG_ADD_MCAST to add new MAC address to DMAC filter registers for this particular network interface (VF) NIC_MBOX_MSG_SET_XCAST to apply filtering configuration to filter control register Signed-off-by: Vadim Lomovtsev <Vadim.Lomovtsev@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The ThunderX NIC could be partitioned to up to 128 VFs and thus represented to system. Each VF is mapped to pair BGX:LMAC, and each of VF is configured by kernel individually. Eventually the bunch of VFs could be mapped onto same pair BGX:LMAC and thus could cause several multicast filtering configuration requests to LMAC with the same MAC addresses.

The ThunderX NIC has two Ethernet Interfaces (BGX) each of them could has up to four Logical MACs configured. Each of BGX has 32 filters to be configured for filtering ingress packets. The number of filters available to particular LMAC is from 8 (if we have four LMACs configured per BGX) up to 32 (in case of only one LMAC is configured per BGX). At the same time the NIC could present up to 128 VFs to OS as network interfaces, each of them kernel will configure with set of MAC addresses for filtering. So to prevent dupes in BGX filter registers from different network interfaces it is required to cache and track all filter configuration requests prior to applying them onto BGX filter registers. This commit is to update LMAC structures with control fields to allocate/releasing filters tracking list along with implementing dmac array allocate/release per LMAC.

The ThunderX NIC has set of registers which allows to configure filter policy for ingress packets. There are three possible regimes of filtering multicasts, broadcasts and unicasts: accept all, reject all and accept filter allowed only. Current implementation has enum with all of them and two generic macro for enabling filtering et all (CAM_ACCEPT) and enabling/disabling broadcast packets, which also should be corrected in order to represent register bits properly. All these values are private for driver and there is no need to ‘publish’ them via header file. This commit is to move filtering register manipulation values from header file into source with explicit assignment of exact register values to them to be used while register configuring.

All UMR WQEs of an RQ share many common fields. We use pre-initialized structures to save calculations in datapath. One field (xlt_offset) was the only reason we saved a pre-initialized copy per WQE index. Here we remove its initialization (move its calculation to datapath), and reduce the number of copies to one-per-RQ. A very small datapath calculation is added, it occurs once per a MPWQE (i.e. once every 256KB), but reduces memory consumption and gives better cache utilization.

When many packets reside on the same page, the bulking of page_ref modifications reduces the total number of atomic operations executed. Besides the necessary 2 operations on page alloc/free, we have the following extra ops per page: - one on WQE allocation (bump refcnt to maximum possible), - zero ops for SKBs, - one on WQE free, a constant of two operations in total, no matter how many packets/SKBs actually populate the page. Without this bulking, we have: - no ops on WQE allocation or free, - one op per SKB, Comparing the two methods when PAGE_SIZE is 4K: - As mentioned above, bulking method always executes 2 operations, not more, but not less. - In the default MTU configuration (1500, stride size is 2K), the non-bulking method execute 2 ops as well. - For larger MTUs with stride size of 4K, non-bulking method executes only a single op. - For XDP (stride size of 4K, no SKBs), non-bulking method executes no ops at all! Hence, to optimize the flows with linear SKB and XDP over Striding RQ, we here remove the page_ref bulking method. Performance testing: ConnectX-5, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz.

Add XDP support over Striding RQ. Now that linear SKB is supported over Striding RQ, we can support XDP by setting stride size to PAGE_SIZE and headroom to XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM. Upon a MPWQE free, do not release pages that are being XDP xmit, they will be released upon completions. Striding RQ is capable of a higher packet-rate than conventional RQ. A performance gain is expected for all cases that had a HW packet-rate bottleneck. This is the case whenever using many flows that distribute to many cores. Performance testing: ConnectX-5, 24 rings, default MTU. CQE compression ON (to reduce completions BW in PCI).
