10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2022-01-31

Alexander Lobakin says:

This is an interpolation of [0] to other Intel Ethernet drivers
(and is (re)based on its code).
The main aim is to keep XDP metadata not only in case with
build_skb(), but also when we do napi_alloc_skb() + memcpy().

All Intel drivers suffers from the same here:
 - metadata gets lost on XDP_PASS in legacy-rx;
 - excessive headroom allocation on XSK Rx to skbs;
 - metadata gets lost on XSK Rx to skbs.

Those get especially actual in XDP Hints upcoming.
I couldn't have addressed the first one for all Intel drivers due to
that they don't reserve any headroom for now in legacy-rx mode even
with XDP enabled. This is hugely wrong, but requires quite a bunch
of work and a separate series. Luckily, ice doesn't suffer from
that.
igc has 1 and 3 already fixed in [0].

By profiling, discovered that ena device driver allocates skb by
build_skb() and frees by napi_skb_cache_put(). Because the driver
does not use napi skb cache in allocation path, napi skb cache is
periodically filled and flushed. This is waste of napi skb cache.

As ena_alloc_skb() is called only in napi, Use napi_build_skb()
and napi_alloc_skb() when allocating skb.

This patch was tested on aws a1.metal instance.

net/smc: Improvements for TCP_CORK and sendfile()

Currently, SMC use default implement for syscall sendfile() [1], which
is wildly used in nginx and big data sences. Usually, applications use
sendfile() with TCP_CORK:

fstat(20, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
setsockopt(19, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0
writev(19, [{iov_base="HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nServer: nginx/1"..., iov_len=240}], 1) = 240
sendfile(19, 20, [0] => [4096], 4096)   = 4096
close(20)                               = 0
setsockopt(19, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0

The above is an example of Nginx, when sendfile() on, Nginx first
enables TCP_CORK, write headers, the data will not be sent. Then call
sendfile(), it reads file and write to sndbuf. When TCP_CORK is cleared,
all pending data is sent out.

The performance of the default implement of sendfile is lower than when
it is off. After investigation, it shows two parts to improve:
- unnecessary lock contention of delayed work
- less data per send than when sendfile off

Patch #1 tries to reduce lock_sock() contention in smc_tx_work().
Patch #2 removes timed work for corking, and let applications control
it. See TCP_CORK [2] MSG_MORE [3].
Patch #3 adds MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST for corking more data when
sendfile().

Test environments:
- CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8 core, mem 32 GiB, nic Mellanox CX4
- socket sndbuf / rcvbuf: 16384 / 131072 bytes
- server: smc_run nginx
- client: smc_run ./wrk -c 100 -t 2 -d 30 http://192.168.100.1:8080/4k.html
- payload: 4KB local disk file

Items                     QPS
sendfile off        272477.10
sendfile on (orig)  223622.79
sendfile on (this)  395847.21

This benchmark shows +45.28% improvement compared with sendfile off, and
+77.02% compared with original sendfile implement.

This introduces a new corked flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, which is
involved in syscall sendfile() [1], it indicates this is not the last
page. So we can cork the data until the page is not specify this flag.
It has the same effect as MSG_MORE, but existed in sendfile() only.

This patch adds a option MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST for corking data, try to
cork more data before sending when using sendfile(), which acts like
TCP's behaviour. Also, this reimplements the default sendpage to inform
that it is supported to some extent.

Based on the manual of TCP_CORK [1] and MSG_MORE [2], these two options
have the same effect. Applications can set these options and informs the
kernel to pend the data, and send them out only when the socket or
syscall does not specify this flag. In other words, there's no need to
send data out by a delayed work, which will queue a lot of work.

This removes corked delayed work with SMC_TX_CORK_DELAY (250ms), and the
applications control how/when to send them out. It improves the
performance for sendfile and throughput, and remove unnecessary race of
lock_sock(). This also unlocks the limitation of sndbuf, and try to fill
it up before sending.

According to the man page of TCP_CORK [1], if set, don't send out
partial frames. All queued partial frames are sent when option is
cleared again.

When applications call setsockopt to disable TCP_CORK, this call is
protected by lock_sock(), and tries to mod_delayed_work() to 0, in order
to send pending data right now. However, the delayed work smc_tx_work is
also protected by lock_sock(). There introduces lock contention for
sending data.

To fix it, send pending data directly which acts like TCP, without
lock_sock() protected in the context of setsockopt (already lock_sock()ed),
and cancel unnecessary dealyed work, which is protected by lock.

Make hash rethink configurable

As it was shown in the report by Alexander Azimov, hash rethink at the
client-side may lead to connection timeout toward stateful anycast
services. Tom Herbert created a patchset to address this issue by applying
hash rethink only after a negative routing event (3RTOs) [1]. This change
also affects server-side behavior, which we found undesirable. This
patchset changes defaults in a way to make them safe: hash rethink at the
client-side is disabled and enabled at the server-side upon each RTO
event or in case of duplicate acknowledgments.

This patchset provides two options to change default behaviour. The hash
rethink may be disabled at the server-side by the new sysctl option.
Changes in the sysctl option don't affect default behavior at the
client-side.

Hash rethink can also be enabled/disabled with socket option or bpf
syscalls which ovewrite both default and sysctl settings. This socket
option is available on both client and server-side. This should provide
mechanics to enable hash rethink inside administrative domain, such as DC,
where hash rethink at the client-side can be desirable.

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Improve indirect addressing performance

The individual patches have all the details. This work was triggered
by recent work on a platform that took 16s (sic) to load the mv88e6xxx
module.

The first patch gets rid of most of that time by replacing a very long
delay with a tighter poll loop to wait for the busy bit to clear.

The second patch shaves off some more time by avoiding redundant
busy-bit-checks, saving 1 out of 4 MDIO operations for every register
read/write in the optimal case.

v1 -> v2:
- Make sure that we always poll the busy bit at least twice, in the
  unlikely event that the first one is quick to query the hardware,
  but is then scheduled out for a long time before the timeout is
  checked.

v2 -> v3:
- Fallback to the longer sleeps after the initial two poll attempts.

Before this change, both the read and write callback would start out
by asserting that the chip's busy flag was cleared. However, both
callbacks also made sure to wait for the clearing of the busy bit
before returning - making the initial check superfluous. The only
time that would ever have an effect was if the busy bit was initially
set for some reason.

With that in mind, make sure to perform an initial check of the busy
bit, after which both read and write can rely the previous operation
to have waited for the bit to clear.

bit being cleared on the second poll.

On a standard MDIO bus running MDC at 2.5MHz, a single access with 32
bits of preamble plus 32 bits of data takes 64*(1/2.5MHz) = 25.6us.

This means that mv88e6xxx_smi_direct_wait took 26us + CPU overhead in
the fast scenario, but 26us + 1500us + 26us + CPU overhead in the slow
case - bringing the average close to 1ms.

With this change in place, the slow case is closer to 2*26us + CPU
overhead, with the average well below 100us - a 10x improvement.

This translates to real-world winnings. On a 3-chip 20-port system,
the modprobe time drops by 88%:

Before:

root@coronet:~# time modprobe mv88e6xxx
real    0m 15.99s
user    0m 0.00s
sys     0m 1.52s

After:

root@coronet:~# time modprobe mv88e6xxx
real    0m 2.21s
user    0m 0.00s
sys     0m 1.54s

Since ipv6 neighbor solicitation and advertisement messages
isn't handled gracefully in bond6 driver, we can see packet
drop due to inconsistency between mac address in the option
message and source MAC .

Another examples is ipv6 neighbor solicitation and advertisement
messages from VM via tap attached to host bridge, the src mac
might be changed through balance-alb mode, but it is not synced
with Link-layer address in the option message.

The patch implements bond6's tx handle for ipv6 neighbor
solicitation and advertisement messages.
