The GTP-tunnel driver is explicitly GGSN-side as it searches for PDP contexts based on the incoming packets _destination_ address. If we want to place ourselves on the SGSN side of the tunnel, then we want to be identifying PDP contexts based on _source_ address. Let it be noted that in a "real" configuration this module would never be used: the SGSN normally does not see IP packets as input. The justification for this functionality is for PGW load-testing applications where the input to the SGSN is locally generally IP traffic. This patch adds a "role" argument at GTP-link creation time to specify whether we are on the GGSN or SGSN side of the tunnel; this flag is then used to determine which part of the IP packet to use in determining the PDP context.

This is a mostly cosmetic rename of the SGSN netlink attribute to the GTP link. The justification for this is that we will be making the module support decapsulation of "downstream" SGSN packets, in which case the netlink parameter actually refers to the upstream GGSN peer. Renaming the parameter makes the relationship clearer. The legacy name is maintained as a define in the header file in order to not break existing code.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Add busy poll support for epoll This patch set adds support for using busy polling with epoll. The main idea behind this is that we record the NAPI ID for the last event that is moved onto the ready list for the epoll context and then when we no longer have any events on the ready list we begin polling with that ID. If the busy polling does not yield any events then we will reset the NAPI ID to 0 and wait until a new event is added to the ready list with a valid NAPI ID before we will resume busy polling. Most of the changes in this set authored by me are meant to be cleanup or fixes for various things. For example, I am trying to make it so that we don't perform hash look-ups for the NAPI instance when we are only working with sender_cpu and the like. At the heart of this set is the last 3 patches which enable epoll support and add support for obtaining the NAPI ID of a given socket. With these it becomes possible for an application to make use of epoll and get optimal busy poll utilization by stacking multiple sockets with the same NAPI ID on the same epoll context. v1: The first version of this series only allowed epoll to busy poll if all of the sockets with a NAPI ID shared the same NAPI ID. I feel we were too strict with this requirement, so I changed the behavior for v2. v2: The second version was pretty much a full rewrite of the first set. The main changes consisted of pulling apart several patches to better address the need to clean up a few items and to make the code easier to review. In the set however I went a bit overboard and was trying to fix an issue that would only occur with 500+ years of uptime, and in the process limited the range for busy_poll/busy_read unnecessarily. v3: Split off the code for limiting busy_poll and busy_read into a separate patch for net. Updated patch that changed busy loop time tracking so that it uses "local_clock() >> 10" as we originally did. Tweaked "Change return type.." patch by moving declaration of "work" inside the loop where is was accessed and always reset to 0. Added "Acked-by" for patches that received acks. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This socket option returns the NAPI ID associated with the queue on which the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which they are received. If the NAPI ID actually represents a sender_cpu then the value is ignored and 0 is returned.

由 Sridhar Samudrala 提交于
This patch adds busy poll support to epoll. The implementation is meant to be opportunistic in that it will take the NAPI ID from the last socket that is added to the ready list that contains a valid NAPI ID and it will use that for busy polling until the ready list goes empty. Once the ready list goes empty the NAPI ID is reset and busy polling is disabled until a new socket is added to the ready list. In addition when we insert a new socket into the epoll we record the NAPI ID and assume we are going to receive events on it. If that doesn't occur it will be evicted as the active NAPI ID and we will resume normal behavior. An application can use SO_INCOMING_CPU or SO_REUSEPORT_ATTACH_C/EBPF socket options to spread the incoming connections to specific worker threads based on the incoming queue. This enables epoll for each worker thread to have only sockets that receive packets from a single queue. So when an application calls epoll_wait() and there are no events available to report, busy polling is done on the associated queue to pull the packets.

This patch flips the logic we were using to determine if the busy polling has timed out. The main motivation for this is that we will need to support two different possible timeout values in the future and by recording the start time rather than when we would want to end we can focus on making the end_time specific to the task be it epoll or socket based polling.

While working on some recent busy poll changes we found that child sockets were being instantiated without NAPI ID being set. In our first attempt to fix it, it was suggested that we should just pull programming the NAPI ID into the function itself since all callers will need to have it set. In addition to the NAPI ID change I have dropped the code that was populating the Rx hash since it was actually being populated in tcp_get_cookie_sock.

This patch is a cleanup/fix for NAPI IDs following the changes that made it so that sender_cpu and napi_id were doing a better job of sharing the same location in the sk_buff. One issue I found is that we weren't validating the napi_id as being valid before we started trying to setup the busy polling. This change corrects that by using the MIN_NAPI_ID value that is now used in both allocating the NAPI IDs, as well as validating them.

To insert or encapsulate a packet with an SRH, we need a large enough skb headroom. Currently, we are using pskb_expand_head to inconditionally increase the size of the headroom by the amount needed by the SRH (and IPv6 header). If this reallocation is performed by another CPU than the one that initially allocated the skb, then when the initial CPU kfree the skb, it will enter the __slab_free slowpath, impacting performances. This patch replaces pskb_expand_head with skb_cow_head, that will reallocate the skb head only if the headroom is not large enough.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-23 This series contains updates to i40e and i40e.txt documentation. Jake provides all the changes in the series which are centered around ntuple filter fixes and additional support. Fixed the current implementation of .set_rxnfc, where we were not reading the mask field for filter entries which was resulting in filters not behaving as expected and not working correctly. When cleaning up after disabling flow director support, ensure that the default input set is correctly reprogrammed. Since the hardware only supports a single input set for all flows of that type, the driver shall only allow the input set to change if there are no other configured filters for that flow type, so add support to detect when we can update the input set for each flow type. Align the driver to other drivers to partition the ring_cookie value into 8bits of VF index, along with 32bits of queue number instead of using the user-def field. Added support to parse the user-def field into a data structure format to allow future extensions of the user-def filed by keeping all the code that read/writes the field into a single location. Added support for flexible payloads passed via ethtool user-def field. We support a single flexible word (2byte) value per protocol type, and we handle the FLX_PIT register using a list of flexible entries so that each flow type may be configured separately. Enabled flow director filters for SCTPv4 packets using the ethtool ntuple interface to enable filters. Updated the documentation on the i40e driver to include the newly added support to ntuple filters. Reduced complexity of a if-continue-else-break section of code by taking advantage of using hlist_for_each_entry_continue() instead. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
