      pktgen: RCU-ify "if_list" to remove lock in next_to_run() · 8788370a
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      The if_lock()/if_unlock() in next_to_run() adds a significant
      overhead, because its called for every packet in busy loop of
      pktgen_thread_worker().  (Thomas Graf originally pointed me
      at this lock problem).
      
      Removing these two "LOCK" operations should in theory save us approx
      16ns (8ns x 2), as illustrated below we do save 16ns when removing
      the locks and introducing RCU protection.
      
      Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, TX-size=512, rx-usecs=30:
       (single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
       * Prev   : 5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
       * RCU-fix: 6272204 pps --> 159.43ns (1/6272204*10^9)
       * Diff   : +588195 pps --> -16.50ns
      
      To understand this RCU patch, I describe the pktgen thread model
      below.
      
      In pktgen there is several kernel threads, but there is only one CPU
      running each kernel thread.  Communication with the kernel threads are
      done through some thread control flags.  This allow the thread to
      change data structures at a know synchronization point, see main
      thread func pktgen_thread_worker().
      
      Userspace changes are communicated through proc-file writes.  There
      are three types of changes, general control changes "pgctrl"
      (func:pgctrl_write), thread changes "kpktgend_X"
      (func:pktgen_thread_write), and interface config changes "etcX@N"
      (func:pktgen_if_write).
      
      Userspace "pgctrl" and "thread" changes are synchronized via the mutex
      pktgen_thread_lock, thus only a single userspace instance can run.
      The mutex is taken while the packet generator is running, by pgctrl
      "start".  Thus e.g. "add_device" cannot be invoked when pktgen is
      running/started.
      
      All "pgctrl" and all "thread" changes, except thread "add_device",
      communicate via the thread control flags.  The main problem is the
      exception "add_device", that modifies threads "if_list" directly.
      
      Fortunately "add_device" cannot be invoked while pktgen is running.
      But there exists a race between "rem_device_all" and "add_device"
      (which normally don't occur, because "rem_device_all" waits 125ms
      before returning). Background'ing "rem_device_all" and running
      "add_device" immediately allow the race to occur.
      
      The race affects the threads (list of devices) "if_list".  The if_lock
      is used for protecting this "if_list".  Other readers are given
      lock-free access to the list under RCU read sections.
      
      Note, interface config changes (via proc) can occur while pktgen is
      running, which worries me a bit.  I'm assuming proc_remove() takes
      appropriate locks, to assure no writers exists after proc_remove()
      finish.
      
      I've been running a script exercising the race condition (leading me
      to fix the proc_remove order), without any issues.  The script also
      exercises concurrent proc writes, while the interface config is
      getting removed.

      pktgen: avoid expensive set_current_state() call in loop · baac167b
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
      pktgen_thread_worker().  In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
      used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.
      
      The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
      is LOCK prefixed.  I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
      8ns on this E5-2630 CPU.  Performance increase corrolate with this
      measurement.

      User could set specific SPI value to arm pktgen flow with IPsec

      to do so is because current state lookup scheme is both slow and, most
      important of all, in fact pktgen doesn't need to match any SA state
      addresses information, all it needs is the SA transfromation shell to
      do the encapuslation.

      xfrm_state lock protects its state, i.e., VALID/DEAD and statistics,
      not the transforming procedure, as both mode/type output functions
      are reentrant.
      
      Another issue is state lock can be used in BH context when state timer

      state lock should disabled BH context for a moment. Otherwise LOCKDEP

      {pktgen, xfrm} Update IPv4 header total len and checksum after tranformation · 3868204d
      fan.du 提交于
      commit a553e4a6 ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support")
      tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually
      this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has
      bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark)
      
      - After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update,
        because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text.
      
      - After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload
        has been changed.
      
      With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to
      decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or
      auth value error.
