In a way similar to the change previously brought to the verify_insn hook and to the finalize callback, switch to the newly added ops in struct bpf_prog_offload for calling the functions used to prepare driver verifiers. Since the dev_ops pointer in struct bpf_prog_offload is no longer used by any callback, we can now remove it from struct bpf_prog_offload.

When qdisc_run() tries to use BQL budget to bulk-dequeue a batch of packets, GSO can later transform this list in another list of skbs, and each skb is sent to device ndo_start_xmit(), one at a time, with skb->xmit_more being set to one but for last skb. Problem is that very often, BQL limit is hit in the middle of the packet train, forcing dev_hard_start_xmit() to stop the bulk send and requeue the end of the list. BQL role is to avoid head of line blocking, making sure a qdisc can deliver high priority packets before low priority ones. But there is no way requeued packets can be bypassed by fresh packets in the qdisc. Aborting the bulk send increases TX softirqs, and hot cache lines (after skb_segment()) are wasted. Note that for TSO packets, we never split a packet in the middle because of BQL limit being hit. Drivers should be able to update BQL counters without flipping/caring about BQL status, if the current skb has xmit_more set. Upper layers are ultimately responsible to stop sending another packet train when BQL limit is hit. Code template in a driver might look like the following : send_doorbell = __netdev_tx_sent_queue(tx_queue, nr_bytes, skb->xmit_more); Note that __netdev_tx_sent_queue() use is not mandatory, since following patch will change dev_hard_start_xmit() to not care about BQL status. But it is highly recommended so that xmit_more full benefits can be reached (less doorbells sent, and less atomic operations as well) Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA) uses a Tx/Rx queue pair to communicate SMT frames with adapter's firmware. Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue is queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to process. Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the driver with SMT frames which are queued back to the Tx queue for the RMC to send to the ring. When a network tap is attached to an FDDI interface handled by `defza' any incoming SMT frames captured are queued to our usual processing of network data received, which in turn delivers them to any listening taps. However the outgoing SMT frames produced by the firmware bypass our network protocol stack and are therefore not delivered to taps. This in turn means that taps are missing a part of network traffic sent by the adapter, which may make it more difficult to track down network problems or do general traffic analysis. Call `dev_queue_xmit_nit' then in the SMT Tx path, having checked that a network tap is attached, with a newly-created `dev_nit_active' helper wrapping the usual condition used in the transmit path.

Since commit 5aad1de5 ("ipv4: use separate genid for next hop exceptions"), exceptions get deprecated separately from cached routes. In particular, administrative changes don't clear PMTU anymore. As Stefano described in commit e9fa1495 ("ipv6: Reflect MTU changes on PMTU of exceptions for MTU-less routes"), the PMTU discovered before the local MTU change can become stale: - if the local MTU is now lower than the PMTU, that PMTU is now incorrect - if the local MTU was the lowest value in the path, and is increased, we might discover a higher PMTU Similarly to what commit e9fa1495 did for IPv6, update PMTU in those cases. If the exception was locked, the discovered PMTU was smaller than the minimal accepted PMTU. In that case, if the new local MTU is smaller than the current PMTU, let PMTU discovery figure out if locking of the exception is still needed. To do this, we need to know the old link MTU in the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notifier. By the time the notifier is called, dev->mtu has been changed. This patch adds the old MTU as additional information in the notifier structure, and a new call_netdevice_notifiers_u32() function.

由 Vincent Whitchurch 提交于
Currently, the only way to ignore outgoing packets on a packet socket is via the BPF filter. With MSG_ZEROCOPY, packets that are looped into AF_PACKET are copied in dev_queue_xmit_nit(), and this copy happens even if the filter run from packet_rcv() would reject them. So the presence of a packet socket on the interface takes away the benefits of MSG_ZEROCOPY, even if the packet socket is not interested in outgoing packets. (Even when MSG_ZEROCOPY is not used, the skb is unnecessarily cloned, but the cost for that is much lower.) Add a socket option to allow AF_PACKET sockets to ignore outgoing packets to solve this. Note that the *BSDs already have something similar: BIOCSSEESENT/BIOCSDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRFILT. The first intended user is lldpd.

This change makes it so that we can support the concept of subordinate device traffic classes to the core networking code. In doing this we can start pulling out the driver specific bits needed to support selecting a queue based on an upper device. The solution at is currently stands is only partially implemented. I have the start of some XPS bits in here, but I would still need to allow for configuration of the XPS maps on the queues reserved for the subordinate devices. For now I am using the reference to the sb_dev XPS map as just a way to skip the lookup of the lower device XPS map for now as that would result in the wrong queue being picked.

由 Alexander Duyck 提交于
This patch is meant to provide the basic tools needed to allow us to create subordinate device traffic classes. The general idea here is to allow subdividing the queues of a device into queue groups accessible through an upper device such as a macvlan. The idea here is to enforce the idea that an upper device has to be a single queue device, ideally with IFF_NO_QUQUE set. With that being the case we can pretty much guarantee that the tc_to_txq mappings and XPS maps for the upper device are unused. As such we could reuse those in order to support subdividing the lower device and distributing those queues between the subordinate devices. In order to distinguish between a regular set of traffic classes and if a device is carrying subordinate traffic classes I changed num_tc from a u8 to a s16 value and use the negative values to represent the subordinate pool values. So starting at -1 and running to -32768 we can encode those as pool values, and the existing values of 0 to 15 can be maintained.

The ETF (Earliest TxTime First) qdisc uses the information added earlier in this series (the socket option SO_TXTIME and the new role of sk_buff->tstamp) to schedule packets transmission based on absolute time. For some workloads, just bandwidth enforcement is not enough, and precise control of the transmission of packets is necessary. Example: $ tc qdisc replace dev enp2s0 parent root handle 100 mqprio num_tc 3 \ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0 $ tc qdisc add dev enp2s0 parent 100:1 etf delta 100000 \ clockid CLOCK_TAI In this example, the Qdisc will provide SW best-effort for the control of the transmission time to the network adapter, the time stamp in the socket will be in reference to the clockid CLOCK_TAI and packets will leave the qdisc "delta" (100000) nanoseconds before its transmission time. The ETF qdisc will buffer packets sorted by their txtime. It will drop packets on enqueue() if their skbuff clockid does not match the clock reference of the Qdisc. Moreover, on dequeue(), a packet will be dropped if it expires while being enqueued. The qdisc also supports the SO_TXTIME deadline mode. For this mode, it will dequeue a packet as soon as possible and change the skb timestamp to 'now' during etf_dequeue(). Note that both the qdisc's and the SO_TXTIME ABIs allow for a clockid to be configured, but it's been decided that usage of CLOCK_TAI should be enforced until we decide to allow for other clockids to be used. The rationale here is that PTP times are usually in the TAI scale, thus no other clocks should be necessary. For now, the qdisc will return EINVAL if any clocks other than CLOCK_TAI are used.

Also involved adding a way to run a netfilter hook over a list of packets. Rather than attempting to make netfilter know about lists (which would be a major project in itself) we just let it call the regular okfn (in this case ip_rcv_finish()) for any packets it steals, and have it give us back a list of packets it's synchronously accepted (which normally NF_HOOK would automatically call okfn() on, but we want to be able to potentially pass the list to a listified version of okfn().) The netfilter hooks themselves are indirect calls that still happen per- packet (see nf_hook_entry_hookfn()), but again, changing that can be left for future work. There is potential for out-of-order receives if the netfilter hook ends up synchronously stealing packets, as they will be processed before any accepts earlier in the list. However, it was already possible for an asynchronous accept to cause out-of-order receives, so presumably this is considered OK.

This patch change the API for ndo_xdp_xmit to support bulking xdp_frames. When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, XDP sees a huge slowdown. Most of the slowdown is caused by DMA API indirect function calls, but also the net_device->ndo_xdp_xmit() call. Benchmarked patch with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, using xdp_redirect_map with single flow/core test (CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz), showed performance improved: for driver ixgbe: 6,042,682 pps -> 6,853,768 pps = +811,086 pps for driver i40e : 6,187,169 pps -> 6,724,519 pps = +537,350 pps With frames avail as a bulk inside the driver ndo_xdp_xmit call, further optimizations are possible, like bulk DMA-mapping for TX. Testing without CONFIG_RETPOLINE show the same performance for physical NIC drivers. The virtual NIC driver tun sees a huge performance boost, as it can avoid doing per frame producer locking, but instead amortize the locking cost over the bulk.
