NAPI drivers no longer need to observe a particular protocol to benefit from busy polling (CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL=y) napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() are automatically called from core networking stack, respectively from netif_napi_add() and netif_napi_del() This patch depends on free_netdev() and netif_napi_del() being called from process context, which seems to be the norm. Drivers might still prefer to call napi_hash_del() on their own, since they might combine all the rcu grace periods into a single one, knowing their NAPI structures lifetime, while core networking stack has no idea of a possible combining. Once this patch proves to not bring serious regressions, we will cleanup drivers to either remove napi_hash_del() or provide appropriate rcu grace periods combining. Signed-off-by:

napi_hash_del() will soon be used from both drivers (if they want) or core networking stack. Callers are responsibles to ensure an RCU grace period is respected before freeing napi structure : napi_hash_del() can signal if this RCU grace period is needed or not. Signed-off-by:

netif_tx_napi_add() is a variant of netif_napi_add() It should be used by drivers that use a napi structure to exclusively poll TX. We do not want to add this kind of napi in napi_hash[] in following patches, adding generic busy polling to all NAPI drivers. Signed-off-by:

We would like to automatically provide busy polling support to all NAPI drivers, without them having to implement anything. skb_mark_napi_id() can be called from napi_gro_receive() and napi_get_frags(). Few drivers are still calling skb_mark_napi_id() because they use netif_receive_skb(). They should eventually call napi_gro_receive() instead. I will leave this to drivers maintainers. Signed-off-by:

Switch to native NAPI polling, as this reduces overhead and complexity.

A NAPI poll handler should return number of RX packets processed, instead of 0 / budget. This allows proper busy poll accounting through LINUX_MIB_BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS SNMP counter. napi_complete_done() allows /sys/class/net/ethX/gro_flush_timeout to be used for finer GRO aggregation control.

It is now easy to add busy polling support to a NAPI driver, with very little impact on normal input path. This patch serves as a reference implementation.

Instead of having to implement complex ndo_busy_poll() method, drivers can simply rely on NAPI poll logic. Busy polling gains are mainly coming from polling itself, not on exact details on how we poll the device. ndo_busy_poll() if implemented can avoid touching napi state, but it adds extra synchronization between normal napi->poll() and busy poll handler, slowing down the common path (non busy polling) with extra atomic operations. In practice few drivers ever got busy poll because of the complexity. We could go one step further, and make busy polling available for all NAPI drivers, but this would require that all netif_napi_del() calls are done in process context so that we can call synchronize_rcu(). Full audit would be required. Before this is done, a driver still needs to call : - skb_mark_napi_id() for each skb provided to the stack. - napi_hash_add() and napi_hash_del() to allocate a napi_id per napi struct. - Make sure RCU grace period is respected after napi_hash_del() before memory containing napi structure is freed. Followup patch implements busy poll for mlx5 driver as an example. Signed-off-by:

Instead of blocking BH in whole sk_busy_loop(), block them only around ->ndo_busy_poll() calls. This has many benefits. 1) allow tunneled traffic to use busy poll as well as native traffic. Tunnels handlers usually call netif_rx() and depend on net_rx_action() being run (from sofirq handler) 2) allow RFS/RPS being used (sending IPI to other cpus if needed) 3) use the 'lets burn cpu cycles' budget to do useful work (like TX completions, timers, RCU callbacks...) 4) reduce BH latencies, making busy poll a better citizen.

skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id share a common storage, and we had various bugs about this. We had to call skb_sender_cpu_clear() in some places to not leave a prior skb->napi_id and fool netdev_pick_tx() As suggested by Alexei, we could split the space so that these errors can not happen. 0 value being reserved as the common (not initialized) value, let's reserve [1 .. NR_CPUS] range for valid sender_cpu, and [NR_CPUS+1 .. ~0U] for valid napi_id. This will allow proper busy polling support over tunnels. Signed-off-by:

Save and restore FP/LR in BPF prog prologue and epilogue, save SP to FP in prologue in order to get the correct stack backtrace. However, ARM64 JIT used FP (x29) as eBPF fp register, FP is subjected to change during function call so it may cause the BPF prog stack base address change too. Use x25 to replace FP as BPF stack base register (fp). Since x25 is callee saved register, so it will keep intact during function call. It is initialized in BPF prog prologue when BPF prog is started to run everytime. Save and restore x25/x26 in BPF prologue and epilogue to keep them intact for the outside of BPF. Actually, x26 is unnecessary, but SP requires 16 bytes alignment. So, the BPF stack layout looks like: high original A64_SP => 0:+-----+ BPF prologue |FP/LR| current A64_FP => -16:+-----+ | ... | callee saved registers +-----+ | | x25/x26 BPF fp register => -80:+-----+ | | | ... | BPF prog stack | | | | current A64_SP => +-----+ | | | ... | Function call stack | | +-----+ low CC: Zi Shen Lim <zlim.lnx@gmail.com> CC: Xi Wang <xi.wang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:Yang Shi <yang.shi@linaro.org> Acked-by:

Vladislav Yasevich says: ==================== Fix issues with vlans without REORDER_HEADER A while ago Phil Sutter brought up an issue with vlans without REORDER_HEADER and bridges. The problem was that if a vlan without REORDER_HEADER was a port in the bridge, the bridge ended up forwarding corrupted packets that still contained the vlan header. The same issue exists for bridge mode macvlan/macvtap devices. An additional issue with vlans without REORDER_HEADER is that stacking them also doesn't work. The reason here is that skb_reorder_vlan_header() function assumes that it on ETH_HLEN bytes deep into the packet. That is not the case, when you a vlan without REORRDER_HEADER flag set. This series attempts to correct these 2 issues. 1) To solve the stacked vlans problem, the patch simply use skb->mac_len as an offset to start copying mac addresses that is part of header reordering. 2) To fix the issue with bridge/macvlan/macvtap, the second patch simply doesn't write the vlan header back to the packet if the vlan device is either a bridge or a macvlan port. This ends up being the simplest and least performance intrussive solution. I've considered extending patch 2 to all stacked devices (essentially checked for the presense of rx_handler), but that feels like a broader restriction and _may_ break existing uses. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Vlad Yasevich authored
When a vlan is configured with REORDER_HEADER set to 0, the vlan header is put back into the packet and makes it appear that the vlan header is still there even after it's been processed. This posses a problem for bridge and macvlan ports. The packets passed to those device may be forwarded and at the time of the forward, vlan headers end up being unexpectedly present. With the patch, we make sure that we do not put the vlan header back (when REORDER_HEADER is 0) if a bridge or macvlan has been configured on top of the vlan device. Signed-off-by:

When we have multiple stacked vlan devices all of which have turned off REORDER_HEADER flag, the untag operation does not locate the ethernet addresses correctly for nested vlans. The reason is that in case of REORDER_HEADER flag being off, the outer vlan headers are put back and the mac_len is adjusted to account for the presense of the header. Then, the subsequent untag operation, for the next level vlan, always use VLAN_ETH_HLEN to locate the begining of the ethernet header and that ends up being a multiple of 4 bytes short of the actuall beginning of the mac header (the multiple depending on the how many vlan encapsulations ethere are). As a reslult, if there are multiple levles of vlan devices with REODER_HEADER being off, the recevied packets end up being dropped. To solve this, we use skb->mac_len as the offset. The value is always set on receive path and starts out as a ETH_HLEN. The value is also updated when the vlan header manupations occur so we know it will be correct. Signed-off-by:

By default the driver allowed incorrect frames to be received. What is worse the code does not handle very short frames correctly. The FCS length is unconditionally subtracted, and the underflow can cause skb_put to be called with large number after implicit cast to unsigned. And indeed, an skb_over_panic() was observed with via-velocity. This removes the module parameter as it does not work in it's current state, and should be implemented via NETIF_F_RXALL if needed.
