<title>xsk: Fix for xp_aligned_validate_desc() when len == chunk_size</title>

<id>ac31565c21937eee9117e43c9cd34f557f6f1cb8</id>
<content type='text'>
When desc-&gt;len is equal to chunk_size, it is legal. But when the
xp_aligned_validate_desc() got chunk_end from desc-&gt;addr + desc-&gt;len
pointing to the next chunk during the check, it caused the check to
fail.

This problem was first introduced in bbff2f321a86 ("xsk: new descriptor
addressing scheme"). Later in 2b43470add8c ("xsk: Introduce AF_XDP buffer
allocation API") this piece of code was moved into the new function called
xp_aligned_validate_desc(). This function was then moved into xsk_queue.h
via 26062b185eee ("xsk: Explicitly inline functions and move definitions").

DPDK default burst size is 32, however, kernel xsk sendto
syscall can not handle all 32 at one time, and return with
error.

So make kernel XDP socket batch size larger to avoid
unnecessary syscall fail and context switch which will help
to increase performance.

<title>bpf, xdp: Restructure redirect actions</title>

The XDP_REDIRECT implementations for maps and non-maps are fairly
similar, but obviously need to take different code paths depending on
if the target is using a map or not. Today, the redirect targets for
XDP either uses a map, or is based on ifindex.

Here, the map type and id are added to bpf_redirect_info, instead of
the actual map. Map type, map item/ifindex, and the map_id (if any) is
passed to xdp_do_redirect().

For ifindex-based redirect, used by the bpf_redirect() XDP BFP helper,
a special map type/id are used. Map type of UNSPEC together with map id
equal to INT_MAX has the special meaning of an ifindex based
redirect. Note that valid map ids are 1 inclusive, INT_MAX exclusive
([1,INT_MAX[).

In addition to making the code easier to follow, using explicit type
and id in bpf_redirect_info has a slight positive performance impact
by avoiding a pointer indirection for the map type lookup, and instead
use the cacheline for bpf_redirect_info.

Since the actual map is not passed via bpf_redirect_info anymore, the
map lookup is only done in the BPF helper. This means that the
bpf_clear_redirect_map() function can be removed. The actual map item
is RCU protected.

The bpf_redirect_info flags member is not used by XDP, and not
read/written any more. The map member is only written to when
required/used, and not unconditionally.

<title>bpf, xdp: Make bpf_redirect_map() a map operation</title>

Currently the bpf_redirect_map() implementation dispatches to the
correct map-lookup function via a switch-statement. To avoid the
dispatching, this change adds bpf_redirect_map() as a map
operation. Each map provides its bpf_redirect_map() version, and
correct function is automatically selected by the BPF verifier.

A nice side-effect of the code movement is that the map lookup
functions are now local to the map implementation files, which removes
one additional function call.

<title>xsk: Update rings for load-acquire/store-release barriers</title>

<id>a23b3f5697e6cf8affa7adf3e967e5ab569ea757</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the AF_XDP rings uses general smp_{r,w,}mb() barriers on
the kernel-side. On most modern architectures
load-acquire/store-release barriers perform better, and results in
simpler code for circular ring buffers.

This change updates the XDP socket rings to use
load-acquire/store-release barriers.

It is important to note that changing from the old smp_{r,w,}mb()
barriers, to load-acquire/store-release barriers does not break
compatibility. The old semantics work with the new one, and vice
versa.

As pointed out by "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt" in the "SMP
BARRIER PAIRING" section:

  "General barriers pair with each other, though they also pair with
  most other types of barriers, albeit without multicopy atomicity.
  An acquire barrier pairs with a release barrier, but both may also
  pair with other barriers, including of course general barriers."

How different barriers behaves and pairs is outlined in
"tools/memory-model/Documentation/cheatsheet.txt".

In order to make sure that compatibility is not broken, LKMM herd7
based litmus tests can be constructed and verified.

We generalize the XDP socket ring to a one entry ring, and create two
scenarios; One where the ring is full, where only the consumer can
proceed, followed by the producer. One where the ring is empty, where
only the producer can proceed, followed by the consumer. Each scenario
is then expanded to four different tests: general producer/general
consumer, general producer/acqrel consumer, acqrel producer/general
consumer, acqrel producer/acqrel consumer. In total eight tests.

The empty ring test:
  C spsc-rb+empty

  // Simple one entry ring:
  // prod cons     allowed action       prod cons
  //    0    0 =&gt;       prod          =&gt;   1    0
  //    0    1 =&gt;       cons          =&gt;   0    0
  //    1    0 =&gt;       cons          =&gt;   1    1
  //    1    1 =&gt;       prod          =&gt;   0    1

  {}

  // We start at prod==0, cons==0, data==0, i.e. nothing has been
  // written to the ring. From here only the producer can start, and
  // should write 1. Afterwards, consumer can continue and read 1 to
  // data. Can we enter state prod==1, cons==1, but consumer observed
  // the incorrect value of 0?

  P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
     ... producer
  }

  P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
     ... consumer
  }

  exists( 1:d=0 /\ prod=1 /\ cons=1 );

The full ring test:
  C spsc-rb+full

  // Simple one entry ring:
  // prod cons     allowed action       prod cons
  //    0    0 =&gt;       prod          =&gt;   1    0
  //    0    1 =&gt;       cons          =&gt;   0    0
  //    1    0 =&gt;       cons          =&gt;   1    1
  //    1    1 =&gt;       prod          =&gt;   0    1

  { prod = 1; }

  // We start at prod==1, cons==0, data==1, i.e. producer has
  // written 0, so from here only the consumer can start, and should
  // consume 0. Afterwards, producer can continue and write 1 to
  // data. Can we enter state prod==0, cons==1, but consumer observed
  // the write of 1?

  P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
    ... producer
  }

  P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
    ... consumer
  }

  exists( 1:d=1 /\ prod=0 /\ cons=1 );

where P0 and P1 are:

  P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
  	int p;

  	p = READ_ONCE(*prod);
  	if (READ_ONCE(*cons) == p) {
  		WRITE_ONCE(*data, 1);
  		smp_wmb();
  		WRITE_ONCE(*prod, p ^ 1);
  	}
  }

  P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
  	int p;

  	p = READ_ONCE(*prod);
  	if (READ_ONCE(*cons) == p) {
  		WRITE_ONCE(*data, 1);
  		smp_store_release(prod, p ^ 1);
  	}
  }

  P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {
  	int c;
  	int d = -1;

  	c = READ_ONCE(*cons);
  	if (READ_ONCE(*prod) != c) {
  		smp_rmb();
  		d = READ_ONCE(*data);
  		smp_mb();
  		WRITE_ONCE(*cons, c ^ 1);
  	}
  }

  P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
  {

  	c = READ_ONCE(*cons);
  	if (smp_load_acquire(prod) != c) {
  		d = READ_ONCE(*data);
  		smp_store_release(cons, c ^ 1);
  	}
  }

The full LKMM litmus tests are found at [1].

On x86-64 systems the l2fwd AF_XDP xdpsock sample performance
increases by 1%. This is mostly due to that the smp_mb() is removed,
which is a relatively expensive operation on these
platforms. Weakly-ordered platforms, such as ARM64 might benefit even
more.

This patch is used to construct skb based on page to save memory copy
overhead.

This function is implemented based on IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR. Only the
network card priv_flags supports IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR will use page to
directly construct skb. If this feature is not supported, it is still
necessary to copy data to construct skb.

  ---------------- Performance Testing ------------

  The test environment is Aliyun ECS server.

  Test cmd:
  ```
  xdpsock -i eth0 -t  -S -s &lt;msg size&gt;
  ```

  Test result data:

  size    64      512     1024    1500
  copy    1916747 1775988 1600203 1440054

<title>xsk: Respect device's headroom and tailroom on generic xmit path</title>

xsk_generic_xmit() allocates a new skb and then queues it for
xmitting. The size of new skb's headroom is desc-&gt;len, so it comes
to the driver/device with no reserved headroom and/or tailroom.
Lots of drivers need some headroom (and sometimes tailroom) to
prepend (and/or append) some headers or data, e.g. CPU tags,
device-specific headers/descriptors (LSO, TLS etc.), and if case
of no available space skb_cow_head() will reallocate the skb.
Reallocations are unwanted on fast-path, especially when it comes
to XDP, so generic XSK xmit should reserve the spaces declared in
dev-&gt;needed_headroom and dev-&gt;needed tailroom to avoid them.

Note on max(NET_SKB_PAD, L1_CACHE_ALIGN(dev-&gt;needed_headroom)):

Usually, output functions reserve LL_RESERVED_SPACE(dev), which
consists of dev-&gt;hard_header_len + dev-&gt;needed_headroom, aligned
by 16.

However, on XSK xmit hard header is already here in the chunk, so
hard_header_len is not needed. But it'd still be better to align
data up to cacheline, while reserving no less than driver requests
for headroom. NET_SKB_PAD here is to double-insure there will be
no reallocations even when the driver advertises no needed_headroom,
but in fact need it (not so rare case).

<title>xsk: Remove explicit_free parameter from __xsk_rcv()</title>

The explicit_free parameter of the __xsk_rcv() function was used to
mark whether the call was via the generic XDP or the native XDP
path. Instead of clutter the code with if-statements and "true/false"
parameters which are hard to understand, simply move the explicit free
to the __xsk_map_redirect() which is always called from the native XDP
path.

<title>xsk: Clear pool even for inactive queues</title>

The number of queues can change by other means, rather than ethtool. For
example, attaching an mqprio qdisc with num_tc &gt; 1 leads to creating
multiple sets of TX queues, which may be then destroyed when mqprio is
deleted. If an AF_XDP socket is created while mqprio is active,
dev-&gt;_tx[queue_id].pool will be filled, but then real_num_tx_queues may
decrease with deletion of mqprio, which will mean that the pool won't be
NULLed, and a further increase of the number of TX queues may expose a
dangling pointer.

To avoid any potential misbehavior, this commit clears pool for RX and
TX queues, regardless of real_num_*_queues, still taking into
consideration num_*_queues to avoid overflows.
