In order for switch driver to be able to make simple and reliable use of the master tracking operations, they must also be notified of the initial state of the DSA master, not just of the changes. This is because they might enable certain features only during the time when they know that the DSA master is up and running. Therefore, this change explicitly checks the state of the DSA master under the same rtnl_mutex as we were holding during the dsa_master_setup() and dsa_master_teardown() call. The idea being that if the DSA master became operational in between the moment in which it became a DSA master (dsa_master_setup set dev->dsa_ptr) and the moment when we checked for the master being up, there is a chance that we would emit a ->master_state_change() call with no actual state change. We need to avoid that by serializing the concurrent netdevice event with us. If the netdevice event started before, we force it to finish before we begin, because we take rtnl_lock before making netdev_uses_dsa() return true. So we also handle that early event and do nothing on it. Similarly, if the dev_open() attempt is concurrent with us, it will attempt to take the rtnl_mutex, but we're holding it. We'll see that the master flag IFF_UP isn't set, then when we release the rtnl_mutex we'll process the NETDEV_UP notifier.

Certain drivers may need to send management traffic to the switch for things like register access, FDB dump, etc, to accelerate what their slow bus (SPI, I2C, MDIO) can already do. Ethernet is faster (especially in bulk transactions) but is also more unreliable, since the user may decide to bring the DSA master down (or not bring it up), therefore severing the link between the host and the attached switch. Drivers needing Ethernet-based register access already should have fallback logic to the slow bus if the Ethernet method fails, but that fallback may be based on a timeout, and the I/O to the switch may slow down to a halt if the master is down, because every Ethernet packet will have to time out. The driver also doesn't have the option to turn off Ethernet-based I/O momentarily, because it wouldn't know when to turn it back on. Which is where this change comes in. By tracking NETDEV_CHANGE, NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events on the DSA master, we should know the exact interval of time during which this interface is reliably available for traffic. Provide this information to switches so they can use it as they wish. An helper is added dsa_port_master_is_operational() to check if a master port is operational.

Ideally the size would depend on the link speed, but the recycle ring is created when the interface is brought up before the driver knows the link speed. So size it for the maximum speed of a given NIC. PowerPC is only supported on SFN7xxx and SFN8xxx NICs. With this patch on a 40G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 18% to under 2%. On a 10G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 15% to 0 (perf did not capture any calls during the 60 second test). On a 100G NIC the number of calls to alloc_pages and friends went down from about 23% to 4%.

This doesn't alter the result of the test, as it just makes the grep command less specific (but since the script always uses the same table number, that doesn't really matter).

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].

Tony Lu says: ==================== 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.

Tony Lu authored
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.

Tony Lu authored
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.
