When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information. This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score() This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used. Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at no extra cost in lookups. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-07-01 This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, igb and ixgbe. Shannon adds the Base Address High and Low to the admin queue structure to simplify the logic in the configuration routines. Also adds code to clear all queues and interrupts to help clean up after a PXE or other early boot activity. Kevin fixes mask assignment value since -1 cannot be used for unsigned integer types. Mitch fixes an issue where in some circumstances the reply from the PF would come back before we were able to properly modify the admin queue pending and required flags. This would mess up the flags and put the driver in an indeterminate state, so fix this by simply setting the flags before sending the request to the admin queue. Also changes the branding string for i40evf to reduce confusion and to match up with our other marketing materials. Kamil adds a new variable defining admin send queue (ASQ) command write back timeout to allow for dynamic modification of this timeout. Anjali fix a bug in the flow director filter replay logic, so that we call a replay after a sideband reset correctly. Jesse adds code to initialize all members of the context descriptor to prevent possible stale data. Christopher fixes i40e to prevent writing to reserved bits, since the queue index is only 0-127. Jacob removes the unneeded header export.h from the i40e PTP code. Fixes ixgbe PTP code where the PPS signal was not correct, as it generates a one half HZ clock signal, it only generates one level change per second. To generate a full clock, we need two level changes per second. Todd provides a fix for igb to bring up link when the PHY has powered up, which was reported by Jeff Westfahl. ==================== Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Use the firmware interface to get the BAR0 value since we really don't want to use the PCI-E Configuration Space Backdoor access which is owned by the firmware. Set up PCI-E Memory Window registers using the true values programmed into BAR registers. When the PF4 "Master Function" is exported to a Virtual Machine, the values returned by pci_resource_start() will be for the synthetic PCI-E Configuration Space and not the real addresses. But we need to program the PCI-E Memory Window address decoders with the real addresses that we're going to be using in order to have accesses through the Memory Windows work.

Pass Physical Function to Upper Layer Drivers in lld_info structure in the new field "pf" added to lld_info.

There are linux distributions where the inbox bnx2x driver contains SRIOV support but doesn't contain the changes introduced in b9871bcf "bnx2x: VF RSS support - PF side". A VF in a VM running that distribution over a new hypervisor will access incorrect addresses when trying to transmit packets, causing an attention in the hypervisor and making that VF inactive until FLRed. The driver in the VM has to ne upgraded [no real way to overcome this], but due to the HW attention currently arising upgrading the driver in the VM would not suffice [since the VF needs also be FLRed if the previous driver was already loaded]. This patch causes the PF to fail the acquire message from a VF running an old problematic driver; The VF will then gracefully fail it's probe preventing the HW attention [and allow clean upgrade of driver in VM].

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.

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.

Using pktgen I'm seeing the ixgbe driver "push-back", due TX ring running full. Thus, the TX ring is artificially limiting pktgen. (Diagnose via "ethtool -S", look for "tx_restart_queue" or "tx_busy" counters.) Using ixgbe, the real reason behind the TX ring running full, is due to TX ring not being cleaned up fast enough. The ixgbe driver combines TX+RX ring cleanups, and the cleanup interval is affected by the ethtool --coalesce setting of parameter "rx-usecs". Do not increase the default NIC TX ring buffer or default cleanup interval. Instead simply document that pktgen needs special NIC tuning for maximum packet per sec performance. Performance results with pktgen with clone_skb=100000. TX ring size 512 (default), adjusting "rx-usecs": (Single CPU performance, E5-2630, ixgbe) - 3935002 pps - rx-usecs: 1 (irqs: 9346) - 5132350 pps - rx-usecs: 10 (irqs: 99157) - 5375111 pps - rx-usecs: 20 (irqs: 50154) - 5454050 pps - rx-usecs: 30 (irqs: 33872) - 5496320 pps - rx-usecs: 40 (irqs: 26197) - 5502510 pps - rx-usecs: 50 (irqs: 21527) TX ring size adjusting (ethtool -G), "rx-usecs==1" (default): - 3935002 pps - tx-size: 512 - 5354401 pps - tx-size: 768 - 5356847 pps - tx-size: 1024 - 5327595 pps - tx-size: 1536 - 5356779 pps - tx-size: 2048 - 5353438 pps - tx-size: 4096 Notice after commit 6f25cd47 (pktgen: fix xmit test for BQL enabled devices) pktgen uses netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() and ignores the BQL "stack" pause (QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF) flag. This allow us to put more pressure on the TX ring buffers. It is the ixgbe_maybe_stop_tx() call that stops the transmits, and pktgen respecting this in the call to netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq).

With proper use of ip rules, routing tables, veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces, and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses, it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple hosts attached.

In some circumstances, the firmware could beat us to the punch, and the reply from the PF would come back before we were able to properly modify the aq_pending and aq_required flags. This would mess up the flags and put the driver in an indeterminate state, much like Schrödinger's cat. However, unlike the cat, the driver is definitely dead. To fix this, simply set the flags before sending the request to the AQ. This way, it won't matter if the interrupt comes back too soon.
