      selftests: bpf: break up test_progs - preparations · 3f306588
      Stanislav Fomichev authored
      Add new prog_tests directory where tests are supposed to land.
      Each prog_tests/<filename>.c is expected to have a global function
      with signature 'void test_<filename>(void)'. Makefile automatically
      generates prog_tests/tests.h file with entry for each prog_tests file:
      
      	#ifdef DECLARE
      	extern void test_<filename>(void);
      	...
      	#endif
      
      	#ifdef CALL
      	test_<filename>();
      	...
      	#endif
      
      prog_tests/tests.h is included in test_progs.c in two places with
      appropriate defines. This scheme allows us to move each function with
      a separate patch without breaking anything.
      
      Compared to the recent verifier split, each separate file here is
      a compilation unit and test_progs.[ch] is now used as a place to put
      some common routines that might be used by multiple tests.

      ====================
      Host Bandwidth Manager is a framework for limiting the bandwidth used
      by v2 cgroups. It consists of 1 BPF helper, a sample BPF program to
      limit egress bandwdith as well as a sample user program and script to
      simplify HBM testing.
      
      The sample HBM BPF program is not meant to be production quality, it is
      provided as proof of concept. A lot more information, including sample
      runs in some cases, are provided in the commit messages of the individual
      patches.
      
      A future patch will add support for reducing TCP's cwnd (we are evaluating
      alternatives). Another patch will add support for fair queueing's Earliest
      Departure Time. Until then, HBM is better suited for flows supporitng ECN.
      
      In addition, A BPF program to limit ingress bandwidth will be provided in
      an upcomming patchset.
      
      Changes from v1 to v2:
        * bpf_tcp_enter_cwr can only be called from a cgroup skb egress BPF
          program (otherwise load or attach will fail) where we already hold
          the sk lock. Also only applies for ESTABLISHED state.
        * bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce uses INET_ECN_set_ce()
        * bpf_tcp_check_probe_timer now uses tcp_reset_xmit_timer. Can only be
          used by egress cgroup skb programs.
        * removed load_cg_skb user program.
        * nrm bpf egress program checks packet header in skb to determine
          ECN value. Now also works for ECN enabled UDP packets.
          Using ECN_ defines instead of integers.
        * NRM script test program now uses bpftool instead of load_cg_skb
      
      Changes from v2 to v3:
        * Changed name from NRM (Network Resource Manager) to HBM (Host
          Bandwdith Manager)
        * The bpf helper to set ECN ce now checks that the header is writeable
        * Removed helper bpf functions that modified TCP state due to a concern
          about whether the socket is locked by the current thread.

      bpf: HBM test script · 4ffd44cf
      brakmo authored
      Script for testing HBM (Host Bandwidth Manager) framework.
      It creates a cgroup to use for testing and load a BPF program to limit
      egress bandwidht. It then uses iperf3 or netperf to create
      loads. The output is the goodput in Mbps (unless -D is used).
      
      It can work on a single host using loopback or among two hosts (with netperf).
      When using loopback, it is recommended to also introduce a delay of at least
      1ms (-d=1), otherwise the assigned bandwidth is likely to be underutilized.
      
      USAGE: $name [out] [-b=<prog>|--bpf=<prog>] [-c=<cc>|--cc=<cc>] [-D]

                            test dependent (i.e. iperf3 or netperf).

          -h                Help
          -p or --port      iperf3 port (default is 5201)
          -P                Use an iperf3 instance for each flow
          -q                Use the specified qdisc.
          -r or --rate      Rate in Mbps (default 1s 1Gbps)

                            cases is 1 byte.
                            More detailed output for each flow can be found
                            in the files netperf.<cg>.<flow>, where <cg> is the
                            cgroup id as specified with the -i flag, and <flow>
                            is the flow id starting at 1 and increasing by 1 for
                            flow (as specified by -f).
          -s or --server    hostname of netperf server. Used to create netperf
                            test traffic between to hosts (default is within host)
                            netserver must be running on the host.
          --stats           Get HBM stats (marked, dropped, etc.)
          -t or --time      duration of iperf3 in seconds (default=5)
          -w                Work conserving flag. cgroup can increase its
                            bandwidth beyond the rate limit specified
                            while there is available bandwidth. Current
                            implementation assumes there is only one NIC
                            (eth0), but can be extended to support multiple
                            NICs. This is just a proof of concept.
          cubic or dctcp    specify TCP CC to use
      
      Examples:
       ./do_hbm_test.sh -l -d=1 -D --stats
           Runs a 5 second test, using a single iperf3 flow and with the default
           rate limit of 1Gbps and a delay of 1ms (using netem) using the default
           TCP congestion control on the loopback device (hence we use "-l" to
           enforce bandwidth limit on loopback device). Since no direction is
           specified, it defaults to egress. Since no TCP CC algorithm is
           specified it uses the system default (Cubic for this test).
           With no -D flag, only the value of the AGGREGATE OUTPUT would show.
           id refers to the cgroup id and is useful when running multi cgroup
           tests (supported by a future patch).
           This patchset does not support calling TCP's congesion window
           reduction, even when packets are dropped by the BPF program, resulting
           in a large number of packets dropped. It is recommended that the  current
           HBM implemenation only be used with ECN enabled flows. A future patch
           will add support for reducing TCP's cwnd and will increase the
           performance of non-ECN enabled flows.

      bpf: User program for testing HBM · a1270fe9
      brakmo authored
      The program nrm creates a cgroup and attaches a BPF program to the
      cgroup for testing HBM (Host Bandwidth Manager) for egress traffic.
      One still needs to create network traffic. This can be done through
      netesto, netperf or iperf3.
      A follow-up patch contains a script to create traffic.
      
      USAGE: hbm [-d] [-l] [-n <id>] [-r <rate>] [-s] [-t <secs>]
                 [-w] [-h] [prog]
        Where:
         -d        Print BPF trace debug buffer
         -l        Also limit flows doing loopback
         -n <#>    To create cgroup "/hbm#" and attach prog. Default is /nrm1
                   This is convenient when testing HBM in more than 1 cgroup
         -r <rate> Rate limit in Mbps
         -s        Get HBM stats (marked, dropped, etc.)
         -t <time> Exit after specified seconds (deault is 0)
         -w        Work conserving flag. cgroup can increase its bandwidth
                   beyond the rate limit specified while there is available
                   bandwidth. Current implementation assumes there is only
                   NIC (eth0), but can be extended to support multiple NICs.
                   Currrently only supported for egress. Note, this is just
      	     a proof of concept.

      bpf: Sample HBM BPF program to limit egress bw · 187d0738
      brakmo authored
      A cgroup skb BPF program to limit cgroup output bandwidth.
      It uses a modified virtual token bucket queue to limit average
      egress bandwidth. The implementation uses credits instead of tokens.
      Negative credits imply that queueing would have happened (this is
      a virtual queue, so no queueing is done by it. However, queueing may
      occur at the actual qdisc (which is not used for rate limiting).
      
      This implementation uses 3 thresholds, one to start marking packets and
      the other two to drop packets:
                                       CREDIT
             - <--------------------------|------------------------> +
                   |    |          |      0
                   |  Large pkt    |
                   |  drop thresh  |
        Small pkt drop             Mark threshold
            thresh
      
      The effect of marking depends on the type of packet:
      a) If the packet is ECN enabled, then the packet is ECN ce marked.
         The current mark threshold is tuned for DCTCP.
      c) Else, it is dropped if it is a large packet.
      
      If the credit is below the drop threshold, the packet is dropped.
      Note that dropping a packet through the BPF program does not trigger CWR
      (Congestion Window Reduction) in TCP packets. A future patch will add
      support for triggering CWR.
      
      This BPF program actually uses 2 drop thresholds, one threshold
      for larger packets (>= 120 bytes) and another for smaller packets. This
      protects smaller packets such as SYNs, ACKs, etc.
      
      The default bandwidth limit is set at 1Gbps but this can be changed by
      a user program through a shared BPF map. In addition, by default this BPF
      program does not limit connections using loopback. This behavior can be
      overwritten by the user program. There is also an option to calculate
      some statistics, such as percent of packets marked or dropped, which
      the user program can access.
      
      A latter patch provides such a program (hbm.c)

      bpf: add bpf helper bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce · f7c917ba
      brakmo authored
      This patch adds a new bpf helper BPF_FUNC_skb_ecn_set_ce
      "int bpf_skb_ecn_set_ce(struct sk_buff *skb)". It is added to
      BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB typed bpf_prog which currently can
      be attached to the ingress and egress path. The helper is needed
      because his type of bpf_prog cannot modify the skb directly.
      
      This helper is used to set the ECN field of ECN capable IP packets to ce
      (congestion encountered) in the IPv6 or IPv4 header of the skb. It can be
      used by a bpf_prog to manage egress or ingress network bandwdith limit
      per cgroupv2 by inducing an ECN response in the TCP sender.
      This works best when using DCTCP.

      samples/bpf: silence compiler warning for xdpsock_user.c · b74e21ab

      Compiling xdpsock_user.c with 4.8.5, I hit the following

          u32 idx_rx, idx_fq = 0;
      
      As an example, the code pattern looks like:
          u32 idx_cq;
          ...
          ret = xsk_ring_prod__reserve(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd, &idx_fq);
          if (ret) {
            ...
          }
          ... idx_fq ...
      The compiler warns since it does not know whether &idx_fq is assigned
      or not inside the library function xsk_ring_prod__reserve().
      
      Let us assign an initial value 0 to such auto variables to silence
      compiler warning.

      selftests/bpf: set unlimited RLIMIT_MEMLOCK for test_sock_fields · a83de906
      Yonghong Song authored
      This is to avoid permission denied error. A lot of systems
      may have a much lower number, e.g., 64KB, for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,
      which may not be sufficient for the test to run successfully.

      ====================
      This patch proposes to add AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason
      for this is to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by
      offering higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
      uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
      offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
      functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
      applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
      possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
      user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
      code from the sample application into their application, which is not
      desirable.
      
      The proposed interface is composed of two parts:
      
      * Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet
      * High-level control plane interface for creating and setting up umems
        and AF_XDP sockets. This interface also loads a simple XDP program
        that routes all traffic on a queue up to the AF_XDP socket.
      
      The sample program has been updated to use this new interface and in
      that process it lost roughly 300 lines of code. I cannot detect any
      performance degradations due to the use of this library instead of the
      previous functions that were inlined in the sample application. But I
      did measure this on a slower machine and not the Broadwell that we
      normally use.
      
      The rings are now called xsk_ring and when a producer operates on
      it. It is xsk_ring_prod and for a consumer it is xsk_ring_cons. This
      way we can get some compile time error checking that the rings are
      used correctly.
      
      Comments and contenplations:
      
      * The current behaviour is that the library loads an XDP program (if
        requested to do so) but the clean up of this program is left to the
        application. It would be possible to implement this cleanup in the
        library, but it would require state to be kept on netdev level,
        which there is none at the moment, and the synchronization of this
        between processes. All this adding complexity. But when we get an
        XDP program per queue id, then it becomes trivial to also remove the
        XDP program when the application exits. This proposal from Jesper,
        Björn and others will also improve the performance of libbpf, since
        most of the XDP program code can be removed when that feature is
        supported.
      
      * In a future release, I am planning on adding a higher level data
        plane interface too. This will be based around recvmsg and sendmsg
        with the use of struct iovec for batching, without the user having
        to know anything about the underlying four rings of an AF_XDP
        socket. There will be one semantic difference though from the
        standard recvmsg and that is that the kernel will fill in the iovecs
        instead of the application. But the rest should be the same as the
        libc versions so that application writers feel at home.
      
      Patch 1: adds AF_XDP support in libbpf
      Patch 2: updates the xdpsock sample application to use the libbpf functions
      Patch 3: Documentation update to help first time users
      
      Changes v5 to v6:
        * Fixed prog_fd bug found by Xiaolong Ye. Thanks!
      Changes v4 to v5:
        * Added a FAQ to the documentation
        * Removed xsk_umem__get_data and renamed xsk_umem__get_dat_raw to
          xsk_umem__get_data
        * Replaced the netlink code with bpf_get_link_xdp_id()
        * Dynamic allocation of the map sizes. They are now sized after
          the max number of queueus on the netdev in question.
      Changes v3 to v4:
        * Dropped the pr_*() patch in favor of Yonghong Song's patch set
        * Addressed the review comments of Daniel Borkmann, mainly leaking
          of file descriptors at clean up and making the data plane APIs
          all static inline (with the exception of xsk_umem__get_data that
          uses an internal structure I do not want to expose).
        * Fixed the netlink callback as suggested by Maciej Fijalkowski.
        * Removed an unecessary include in the sample program as spotted by
          Ilia Fillipov.
      Changes v2 to v3:
        * Added automatic loading of a simple XDP program that routes all
          traffic on a queue up to the AF_XDP socket. This program loading
          can be disabled.
        * Updated function names to be consistent with the libbpf naming
          convention
        * Moved all code to xsk.[ch]
        * Removed all the XDP program loading code from the sample since
          this is now done by libbpf
        * The initialization functions now return a handle as suggested by
          Alexei
        * const statements added in the API where applicable.
      Changes v1 to v2:
        * Fixed cleanup of library state on error.
        * Moved API to initial version
        * Prefixed all public functions by xsk__ instead of xsk_
        * Added comment about changed default ring sizes, batch size and umem
          size in the sample application commit message
        * The library now only creates an Rx or Tx ring if the respective
          parameter is != NULL
