| 2020-08-31 | xsk: i40e: ice: ixgbe: mlx5: Rename xsk zero-copy driver interfaces | Magnus Karlsson | |
| Rename the AF_XDP zero-copy driver interface functions to better reflect what they do after the replacement of umems with buffer pools in the previous commit. Mostly it is about replacing the umem name from the function names with xsk_buff and also have them take the a buffer pool pointer instead of a umem. The various ring functions have also been renamed in the process so that they have the same naming convention as the internal functions in xsk_queue.h. This so that it will be clearer what they do and also for consistency.

| 2020-08-31 | xsk: i40e: ice: ixgbe: mlx5: Pass buffer pool to driver instead of umem | Magnus Karlsson | |
| Replace the explicit umem reference passed to the driver in AF_XDP zero-copy mode with the buffer pool instead. This in preparation for extending the functionality of the zero-copy mode so that umems can be shared between queues on the same netdev and also between netdevs. In this commit, only an umem reference has been added to the buffer pool struct. But later commits will add other entities to it. These are going to be entities that are different between different queue ids and netdevs even though the umem is shared between them.

| 2020-05-21 | xsk: Move driver interface to xdp_sock_drv.h | Magnus Karlsson | |
| Move the AF_XDP zero-copy driver interface to its own include file called xdp_sock_drv.h. This, hopefully, will make it more clear for NIC driver implementors to know what functions to use for zero-copy support. v4->v5: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes by include header file.

| 2019-08-17 | net/mlx5e: Add AF_XDP need_wakeup support | Maxim Mikityanskiy | |
| This commit adds support for the new need_wakeup feature of AF_XDP. The applications can opt-in by using the XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP bind() flag. When this feature is enabled, some behavior changes: RX side: If the Fill Ring is empty, instead of busy-polling, set the flag to tell the application to kick the driver when it refills the Fill Ring. TX side: If there are pending completions or packets queued for transmission, set the flag to tell the application that it can skip the sendto() syscall and save time. The performance testing was performed on a machine with the following configuration: - 24 cores of Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40 GHz - Mellanox ConnectX-5 Ex with 100 Gbit/s link The results with retpoline disabled: | without need_wakeup | with need_wakeup | |----------------------|----------------------| | one core | two cores | one core | two cores | -------|----------|-----------|----------|-----------| txonly | 20.1 | 33.5 | 29.0 | 34.2 | rxdrop | 0.065 | 14.1 | 12.0 | 14.1 | l2fwd | 0.032 | 7.3 | 6.6 | 7.2 | "One core" means the application and NAPI run on the same core.

| 2019-08-17 | xsk: replace ndo_xsk_async_xmit with ndo_xsk_wakeup | Magnus Karlsson | |
| This commit replaces ndo_xsk_async_xmit with ndo_xsk_wakeup. This new ndo provides the same functionality as before but with the addition of a new flags field that is used to specifiy if Rx, Tx or both should be woken up. The previous ndo only woke up Tx, as implied by the name. The i40e and ixgbe drivers (which are all the supported ones) are updated with this new interface. This new ndo will be used by the new need_wakeup functionality of XDP sockets that need to be able to wake up both Rx and Tx driver processing.

| 2019-06-27 | net/mlx5e: Add XSK zero-copy support | Maxim Mikityanskiy | |
| This commit adds support for AF_XDP zero-copy RX and TX. We create a dedicated XSK RQ inside the channel, it means that two RQs are running simultaneously: one for non-XSK traffic and the other for XSK traffic. The regular and XSK RQs use a single ID namespace split into two halves: the lower half is regular RQs, and the upper half is XSK RQs. When any zero-copy AF_XDP socket is active, changing the number of channels is not allowed, because it would break to mapping between XSK RQ IDs and channels. XSK requires different page allocation and release routines. Such functions as mlx5e_{alloc,free}_rx_mpwqe and mlx5e_{get,put}_rx_frag are generic enough to be used for both regular and XSK RQs, and they use the mlx5e_page_{alloc,release} wrappers around the real allocation functions. Function pointers are not used to avoid losing the performance with retpolines. Wherever it's certain that the regular (non-XSK) page release function should be used, it's called directly. Only the stats that could be meaningful for XSK are exposed to the userspace. Those that don't take part in the XSK flow are not considered. Note that we don't wait for WQEs on the XSK RQ (unlike the regular RQ), because the newer xdpsock sample doesn't provide any Fill Ring entries at the setup stage. We create a dedicated XSK SQ in the channel. This separation has its advantages: 1. When the UMEM is closed, the XSK SQ can also be closed and stop receiving completions. If an existing SQ was used for XSK, it would continue receiving completions for the packets of the closed socket. If a new UMEM was opened at that point, it would start getting completions that don't belong to it. 2. Calculating statistics separately. When the userspace kicks the TX, the driver triggers a hardware interrupt by posting a NOP to a dedicated XSK ICO (internal control operations) SQ, in order to trigger NAPI on the right CPU core. This XSK ICO SQ is protected by a spinlock, as the userspace application may kick the TX from any core. Store the pointers to the UMEMs in the net device private context, independently from the kernel. This way the driver can distinguish between the zero-copy and non-zero-copy UMEMs. The kernel function xdp_get_umem_from_qid does not care about this difference, but the driver is only interested in zero-copy UMEMs, particularly, on the cleanup it determines whether to close the XSK RQ and SQ or not by looking at the presence of the UMEM. Use state_lock to protect the access to this area of UMEM pointers. LRO isn't compatible with XDP, but there may be active UMEMs while XDP is off. If this is the case, don't allow LRO to ensure XDP can be reenabled at any time. The validation of XSK parameters typically happens when XSK queues open. However, when the interface is down or the XDP program isn't set, it's still possible to have active AF_XDP sockets and even to open new, but the XSK queues will be closed. To cover these cases, perform the validation also in these flows: 1. A new UMEM is registered, but the XSK queues aren't going to be created due to missing XDP program or interface being down. 2. MTU changes while there are UMEMs registered. Having this early check prevents mlx5e_open_channels from failing at a later stage, where recovery is impossible and the application has no chance to handle the error, because it got the successful return value for an MTU change or XSK open operation.
