Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: Generic UDP Encapsulation Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) is UDP encapsulation protocol which encapsulates packets of various IP protocols. The GUE protocol is described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-gue-01. The receive path of GUE is implemented in the FOU over UDP module (FOU). This includes a UDP encap receive function for GUE as well as GUE specific GRO functions. Management and configuration of GUE ports shares most of the same code with FOU. For the transmit path, the previous FOU support for IPIP, sit, and GRE was simply extended for GUE (when GUE is enabled insert the GUE header on transmit in addition to UDP header inserted for FOU). Semantically GUE is the same as FOU in that the encapsulation (UDP and GUE headers) that are inserted on transmission and removed on reception so that IP packet is processed with the inner header. This patch set includes: - Some fixes to FOU, removal of IPv4,v6 specific GRO functions - Support to configure a GUE receive port - Implementation of GUE receive path (normal and GRO) - Additions to ip_tunnel netlink to configure GUE - GUE header inserion in ip_tunnel transmit path v2: - Include net/gue.h in patch set Testing: I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_RR with 200 streams, comparing encapsulation without GUE, encapsulation with GUE, and encapsulation with FOU.

This patch adds support receiving for GUE packets in the fou module. The fou module now supports direct foo-over-udp (no encapsulation header) and GUE. To support this a type parameter is added to the fou netlink parameters. For a GUE socket we define gue_udp_recv, gue_gro_receive, and gue_gro_complete to handle the specifics of the GUE protocol. Most of the code to manage and configure sockets is common with the fou. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes fou[46]_gro_receive and fou[46]_gro_complete functions. The v4 or v6 variants were chosen for the UDP offloads based on the address family of the socket this is not necessary or correct. Alternatively, this patch adds is_ipv6 to napi_gro_skb. This is set in udp6_gro_receive and unset in udp4_gro_receive. In fou_gro_receive the value is used to select the correct inet_offloads for the protocol of the outer IP header. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-10-02 This series contains updates to fm10k, igb, ixgbe and i40e. Alex provides two updates to the fm10k driver. First reduces the buffer size to 2k for all page sizes, since most frames only have a 1500 MTU so supporting a buffer size larger than this is somewhat wasteful. Second fixes an issue where the number of transmit queues was not being updated, so added the lines necessary to update the number of transmit queues. Rick Jones provides two patches to convert ixgbe, igb and i40e to use dev_consume_skb_any(). Emil provides two patches for ixgbe, first cleans up a couple of wait loops on auto-negotiation that were not needed. Second fixes an issue reported by Fujitsu/Red Hat, which consolidates the logic behind the dynamically setting of TXDCTL.WTHRESH depending on interrupt throttle rate (ITR) setting regardless of BQL. Ethan Zhao provides a cleanup patch for ixgbe where he noticed a duplicate define. Bernhard Kaindl provides a patch for igb to remove a source of latency spikes by not calling code that uses mdelay() for feeding a PHY stat while being called with a spinlock held. Todd bumps the igb version based on the recent changes. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Validation of skb can be pretty expensive : GSO segmentation and/or checksum computations. We can do this without holding qdisc lock, so that other cpus can queue additional packets. Trick is that requeued packets were already validated, so we carry a boolean so that sch_direct_xmit() can validate a fresh skb list, or directly use an old one. Tested on 40Gb NIC (8 TX queues) and 200 concurrent flows, 48 threads host. Turning TSO on or off had no effect on throughput, only few more cpu cycles. Lock contention on qdisc lock disappeared. Same if disabling TX checksum offload. Signed-off-by:

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== qdisc: bulk dequeue support This patchset uses DaveM's recent API changes to dev_hard_start_xmit(), from the qdisc layer, to implement dequeue bulking. Patch01: "qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE" - Implement basic qdisc dequeue bulking - This time, 100% relying on BQL limits, no magic safe-guard constants Patch02: "qdisc: dequeue bulking also pickup GSO/TSO packets" - Extend bulking to bulk several GSO/TSO packets - Seperate patch, as it introduce a small regression, see test section. We do have a patch03, which exports a userspace tunable as a BQL tunable, that can byte-cap or disable the bulking/bursting. But we could not agree on it internally, thus not sending it now. We basically strive to avoid adding any new userspace tunable. Testing patch01: ================ Demonstrating the performance improvement of qdisc dequeue bulking, is tricky because the effect only "kicks-in" once the qdisc system have a backlog. Thus, for a backlog to form, we need either 1) to exceed wirespeed of the link or 2) exceed the capability of the device driver. For practical use-cases, the measureable effect of this will be a reduction in CPU usage 01-TCP_STREAM: -------------- Testing effect for TCP involves disabling TSO and GSO, because TCP already benefit from bulking, via TSO and especially for GSO segmented packets. This patch view TSO/GSO as a seperate kind of bulking, and avoid further bulking of these packet types. The measured perf diff benefit (at 10Gbit/s) for a single netperf TCP_STREAM were 9.24% less CPU used on calls to _raw_spin_lock() (mostly from sch_direct_xmit). If my E5-2695v2(ES) CPU is tuned according to: http://netoptimizer.blogspot.dk/2014/04/basic-tuning-for-network-overload.html Then it is possible that a single netperf TCP_STREAM, with GSO and TSO disabled, can utilize all bandwidth on a 10Gbit/s link. This will then cause a standing backlog queue at the qdisc layer. Trying to pressure the system some more CPU util wise, I'm starting 24x TCP_STREAMs and monitoring the overall CPU utilization. This confirms bulking saves CPU cycles when it "kicks-in". Tool mpstat, while stressing the system with netperf 24x TCP_STREAM, shows: * Disabled bulking: sys:2.58% soft:8.50% idle:88.78% * Enabled bulking: sys:2.43% soft:7.66% idle:89.79% 02-UDP_STREAM ------------- The measured perf diff benefit for UDP_STREAM were 6.41% less CPU used on calls to _raw_spin_lock(). 24x UDP_STREAM with packet size -m 1472 (to avoid sending UDP/IP fragments). 03-trafgen driver test ---------------------- The performance of the 10Gbit/s ixgbe driver is limited due to updating the HW ring-queue tail-pointer on every packet. As previously demonstrated with pktgen. Using trafgen to send RAW frames from userspace (via AF_PACKET), and forcing it through qdisc path (with option --qdisc-path and -t0), sending with 12 CPUs. I can demonstrate this driver layer limitation: * 12.8 Mpps with no qdisc bulking * 14.8 Mpps with qdisc bulking (full 10G-wirespeed) Testing patch02: ================ Testing Bulking several GSO/TSO packets: Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions (requeues were in the area 32 requeues/sec for 10G while transmitting approx 813Kpps). Bulking several GSOs does show small regression or very small improvement (requeues were in the area 8000 requeues/sec, for 10G while transmitting approx 813Kpps). Using ixgbe 10Gbit/s with GSO bulking, we can measure some additional latency. Base-case, which is "normal" GSO bulking, sees varying high-prio queue delay between 0.38ms to 0.47ms. Bulking several GSOs together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of 0.50ms. Corrosponding to: (10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.47)/10^3)/8 = 37500 bytes (10000*10^6)*((0.50-0.38)/10^3)/8 = 150000 bytes 37500/1500 = 25 pkts 150000/1500 = 100 pkts Using igb at 100Mbit/s with GSO bulking, shows an improvement. Base-case sees varying high-prio queue delay between 2.23ms to 2.35ms diff of 0.12ms corrosponding to 1500 bytes at 100Mbit/s. Bulking several GSOs together, result in a stable high-prio queue delay of 2.23ms. ==================== Signed-off-by:

The TSO and GSO segmented packets already benefit from bulking on their own. The TSO packets have always taken advantage of the only updating the tailptr once for a large packet. The GSO segmented packets have recently taken advantage of bulking xmit_more API, via merge commit 53fda7f7 ("Merge branch 'xmit_list'"), specifically via commit 7f2e870f ("net: Move main gso loop out of dev_hard_start_xmit() into helper.") allowing qdisc requeue of remaining list. And via commit ce93718f ("net: Don't keep around original SKB when we software segment GSO frames."). This patch allow further bulking of TSO/GSO packets together, when dequeueing from the qdisc. Testing: Measuring HoL (Head-of-Line) blocking for TSO and GSO, with netperf-wrapper. Bulking several TSO show no performance regressions (requeues were in the area 32 requeues/sec). Bulking several GSOs does show small regression or very small improvement (requeues were in the area 8000 requeues/sec). Using ixgbe 10Gbit/s with GSO bulking, we can measure some additional latency.

Based on DaveM's recent API work on dev_hard_start_xmit(), that allows sending/processing an entire skb list. This patch implements qdisc bulk dequeue, by allowing multiple packets to be dequeued in dequeue_skb(). The optimization principle for this is two fold, (1) to amortize locking cost and (2) avoid expensive tailptr update for notifying HW. (1) Several packets are dequeued while holding the qdisc root_lock, amortizing locking cost over several packet. The dequeued SKB list is processed under the TXQ lock in dev_hard_start_xmit(), thus also amortizing the cost of the TXQ lock. (2) Further more, dev_hard_start_xmit() will utilize the skb->xmit_more API to delay HW tailptr update, which also reduces the cost per packet. One restriction of the new API is that every SKB must belong to the same TXQ. This patch takes the easy way out, by restricting bulk dequeue to qdisc's with the TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag, that specifies the qdisc only have attached a single TXQ. Some detail about the flow; dev_hard_start_xmit() will process the skb list, and transmit packets individually towards the driver (see xmit_one()). In case the driver stops midway in the list, the remaining skb list is returned by dev_hard_start_xmit(). In sch_direct_xmit() this returned list is requeued by dev_requeue_skb(). To avoid overshooting the HW limits, which results in requeuing, the patch limits the amount of bytes dequeued, based on the drivers BQL limits. In-effect bulking will only happen for BQL enabled drivers. Small amounts for extra HoL blocking (2x MTU/0.24ms) were measured at 100Mbit/s, with bulking 8 packets, but the oscillating nature of the measurement indicate something, like sched latency might be causing this effect. More comparisons show, that this oscillation goes away occationally. Thus, we disregard this artifact completely and remove any "magic" bulking limit. For now, as a conservative approach, stop bulking when seeing TSO and segmented GSO packets. They already benefit from bulking on their own. A followup patch add this, to allow easier bisect-ability for finding regressions. Jointed work with Hannes, Daniel and Florian. Signed-off-by:

Remove a source of latency spikes (in my case up to 10ms) by not calling code that uses mdelay() for feeding a phy statistic (rx errors for idle symbols - not data -> idle_errors) while being called with a spinlock held. As idle_errors isn't read, this patch only removes unused code and data. Later, more complicated changes may be applied to address the spinlock and allow for some PHY diagnostics by harvesting this PHY stats register fully. This patch is designed to fix the issue and be safe for longterm/stable. For the Intel e1000e driver, the same change was applied in 2008 with commit 23033fad ("e1000e: remove phy read from inside spinlock"). The mdelay is triggered by HW/SW semaphores, thus it depends on the HW. I've HW that triggers it even when idle. Others may trigger it only e.g. when Ethernet ports aquire or loose the link or on ifconfig up / down. We've noticed this first from delays in frame rx/tx due to the mdelay(). Example command for checking if the issue is triggered: cyclictest -Smp1 (Look for occasional "Max:" values > 4000 or use -b 4000 to stop if greater) It was observed with I350 ports connected to other I350 ports, but not if driver and EEPROM was modified to run the I350 in EEPROM-less mode. phy_stats.idle_errors and .receive_errors (isn't touched) occupy 64 not used bits in the adapter struct: Their allocation may be removed as well.

This patch demonstrates the effect of delaying update of HW tailptr. (based on earlier patch by Jesper) burst=1 is the default. It sends one packet with xmit_more=false burst=2 sends one packet with xmit_more=true and 2nd copy of the same packet with xmit_more=false burst=3 sends two copies of the same packet with xmit_more=true and 3rd copy with xmit_more=false Performance with ixgbe (usec 30): burst=1 tx:9.2 Mpps burst=2 tx:13.5 Mpps burst=3 tx:14.5 Mpps full 10G line rate Signed-off-by:Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by:
