Changing API ndo_xdp_xmit to take a struct xdp_frame instead of struct xdp_buff. This brings xdp_return_frame and ndp_xdp_xmit in sync. This builds towards changing the API further to become a bulk API, because xdp_buff is not a queue-able object while xdp_frame is.

Changing API xdp_return_frame() to take struct xdp_frame as argument, seems like a natural choice. But there are some subtle performance details here that needs extra care, which is a deliberate choice. When de-referencing xdp_frame on a remote CPU during DMA-TX completion, result in the cache-line is change to "Shared" state. Later when the page is reused for RX, then this xdp_frame cache-line is written, which change the state to "Modified". This situation already happens (naturally) for, virtio_net, tun and cpumap as the xdp_frame pointer is the queued object. In tun and cpumap, the ptr_ring is used for efficiently transferring cache-lines (with pointers) between CPUs. Thus, the only option is to de-referencing xdp_frame. It is only the ixgbe driver that had an optimization, in which it can avoid doing the de-reference of xdp_frame. The driver already have TX-ring queue, which (in case of remote DMA-TX completion) have to be transferred between CPUs anyhow. In this data area, we stored a struct xdp_mem_info and a data pointer, which allowed us to avoid de-referencing xdp_frame. To compensate for this, a prefetchw is used for telling the cache coherency protocol about our access pattern. My benchmarks show that this prefetchw is enough to compensate the ixgbe driver.

This patch shows how it is possible to have both the driver local page cache, which uses elevated refcnt for "catching"/avoiding SKB put_page returns the page through the page allocator. And at the same time, have pages getting returned to the page_pool from ndp_xdp_xmit DMA completion. The performance improvement for XDP_REDIRECT in this patch is really good. Especially considering that (currently) the xdp_return_frame API and page_pool_put_page() does per frame operations of both rhashtable ID-lookup and locked return into (page_pool) ptr_ring. (It is the plan to remove these per frame operation in a followup patchset). The benchmark performed was RX on mlx5 and XDP_REDIRECT out ixgbe, with xdp_redirect_map (using devmap) . And the target/maximum capability of ixgbe is 13Mpps (on this HW setup). Before this patch for mlx5, XDP redirected frames were returned via the page allocator. The single flow performance was 6Mpps, and if I started two flows the collective performance drop to 4Mpps, because we hit the page allocator lock (further negative scaling occurs). Two test scenarios need to be covered, for xdp_return_frame API, which is DMA-TX completion running on same-CPU or cross-CPU free/return. Results were same-CPU=10Mpps, and cross-CPU=12Mpps. This is very close to our 13Mpps max target. The reason max target isn't reached in cross-CPU test, is likely due to RX-ring DMA unmap/map overhead (which doesn't occur in ixgbe to ixgbe testing). It is also planned to remove this unnecessary DMA unmap in a later patchset V2: Adjustments requested by Tariq - Changed page_pool_create return codes not return NULL, only ERR_PTR, as this simplifies err handling in drivers. - Save a branch in mlx5e_page_release - Correct page_pool size calc for MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ V5: Updated patch desc V8: Adjust for b0cedc84 ("net/mlx5e: Remove rq_headroom field from params") V9: - Adjust for 121e8927 ("net/mlx5e: Refactor RQ XDP_TX indication") - Adjust for 73281b78 ("net/mlx5e: Derive Striding RQ size from MTU") - Correct handling if page_pool_create fail for MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ V10: Req from Tariq - Change pool_size calc for MLX5_WQ_TYPE_LINKED_LIST_STRIDING_RQ Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

New allocator type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL for page_pool usage. The registered allocator page_pool pointer is not available directly from xdp_rxq_info, but it could be (if needed). For now, the driver should keep separate track of the page_pool pointer, which it should use for RX-ring page allocation. As suggested by Saeed, to maintain a symmetric API it is the drivers responsibility to allocate/create and free/destroy the page_pool. Thus, after the driver have called xdp_rxq_info_unreg(), it is drivers responsibility to free the page_pool, but with a RCU free call. This is done easily via the page_pool helper page_pool_destroy() (which avoids touching any driver code during the RCU callback, which could happen after the driver have been unloaded).

Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. Instead of using the IDR infrastructure, which uses a radix tree, use a dynamic rhashtable, for creating ID to pointer lookup table, because this is faster. The problem that is being solved here is that, the xdp_rxq_info pointer (stored in xdp_buff) cannot be used directly, as the guaranteed lifetime is too short. The info is needed on a (potentially) remote CPU during DMA-TX completion time . In an xdp_frame the xdp_mem_info is stored, when it got converted from an xdp_buff, which is sufficient for the simple page refcnt based recycle schemes. For more advanced allocators there is a need to store a pointer to the registered allocator. Thus, there is a need to guard the lifetime or validity of the allocator pointer, which is done through this rhashtable ID map to pointer. The removal and validity of of the allocator and helper struct xdp_mem_allocator is guarded by RCU. The allocator will be created by the driver, and registered with xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model(). It is up-to debate who is responsible for freeing the allocator pointer or invoking the allocator destructor function. In any case, this must happen via RCU freeing. Use the IDA infrastructure for getting a cyclic increasing ID number, that is used for keeping track of each registered allocator per RX-queue xdp_rxq_info. V4: Per req of Jason Wang - Use xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() in all drivers implementing XDP_REDIRECT, even-though it's not strictly necessary when allocator==NULL for type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED (given it's zero).

The virtio_net driver assumes XDP frames are always released based on page refcnt (via put_page). Thus, is only queues the XDP data pointer address and uses virt_to_head_page() to retrieve struct page. Use the XDP return API to get away from such assumptions. Instead queue an xdp_frame, which allow us to use the xdp_return_frame API, when releasing the frame.

In this series we stop using hard-coded callbacks along the code and use instead helpers which are defined in a single place ("hwif.h"). This brings several advantages: 1) Less typing :) 2) Guaranteed function pointer check 3) More flexibility By 2) we stop using the repeated pattern of: if (priv->hw->mac->some_func) priv->hw->mac->some_func(...) I didn't check but I expect the final .ko will be bigger with this series because *all* of function pointers are checked.

Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages, with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures. Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid copying data without complex splice() games. Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp->copied += X) Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags are fundamentally shared and read only. If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed. Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence. mmap() wont block, regardless of socket being in blocking or non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue, mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state where no other bytes can be added into receive queue. An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD) to efficiently use mmap() On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary.

We should not delay acks if there are not enough bytes in receive queue to satisfy SO_RCVLOWAT.

Applications might use SO_RCVLOWAT on TCP socket hoping to receive one [E]POLLIN event only when a given amount of bytes are ready in socket receive queue. Problem is that receive autotuning is not aware of this constraint, meaning sk_rcvbuf might be too small to allow all bytes to be stored. Add a new (struct proto_ops)->set_rcvlowat method so that a protocol can override the default setsockopt(SO_RCVLOWAT) behavior.

When the interface is down, head/tail of the descriptor ring address is set to 0 in netsec_netdev_stop(). But netsec hardware still keeps the previous descriptor ring address, so there is inconsistency between driver and hardware after interface is up at a later time. To address this inconsistency, add netsec_reset_hardware() when the interface is down. In addition, to minimize the reset process, add flag to decide whether driver loads the netsec microcode. Even if driver resets the netsec hardware, netsec microcode keeps resident on RAM, so it is ok we only load the microcode at initialization. This patch is critical for installation over network.

The usage of of_device_get_match_data() reduce the code size a bit. Also, the only way to call mtk_probe() is to match an entry in of_mtk_match[], so match cannot be NULL. Signed-off-by: Ryder Lee <ryder.lee@mediatek.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) In ip_gre tunnel, handle the conflict between TUNNEL_{SEQ,CSUM} and GSO/LLTX properly. From Sabrina Dubroca. 2) Stop properly on error in lan78xx_read_otp(), from Phil Elwell. 3) Don't uncompress in slip before rstate is initialized, from Tejaswi Tanikella. 4) When using 1.x firmware on aquantia, issue a deinit before we hardware reset the chip, otherwise we break dirty wake WOL. From Igor Russkikh. 5) Correct log check in vhost_vq_access_ok(), from Stefan Hajnoczi. 6) Fix ethtool -x crashes in bnxt_en, from Michael Chan. 7) Fix races in l2tp tunnel creation and duplicate tunnel detection, from Guillaume Nault. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (22 commits) l2tp: fix race in duplicate tunnel detection l2tp: fix races in tunnel creation tun: send netlink notification when the device is modified tun: set the flags before registering the netdevice lan78xx: Don't reset the interface on open bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference at bnxt_free_irq(). bnxt_en: Need to include RDMA rings in bnxt_check_rings(). bnxt_en: Support max-mtu with VF-reps bnxt_en: Ignore src port field in decap filter nodes bnxt_en: do not allow wildcard matches for L2 flows bnxt_en: Fix ethtool -x crash when device is down. vhost: return bool from *_access_ok() functions vhost: fix vhost_vq_access_ok() log check vhost: Fix vhost_copy_to_user() net: aquantia: oops when shutdown on already stopped device net: aquantia: Regression on reset with 1.x firmware cdc_ether: flag the Cinterion AHS8 modem by gemalto as WWAN slip: Check if rstate is initialized before uncompressing lan78xx: Avoid spurious kevent 4 "error" lan78xx: Correctly indicate invalid OTP ...
