[bpf-next,v6,00/18] XDP metadata via kfuncs for ice + VLAN hint

Message

Larysa Zaremba Oct. 12, 2023, 5:05 p.m. UTC

This series introduces XDP hints via kfuncs [0] to the ice driver.

Series brings the following existing hints to the ice driver:
 - HW timestamp
 - RX hash with type

Series also introduces VLAN tag with protocol XDP hint, it now be accessed by
XDP and userspace (AF_XDP) programs. They can also be checked with xdp_metadata
test and xdp_hw_metadata program.

On Maciej's request, I provide some numbers about impact of these patches
on ice performance.
ZC:
* Full hints implementation before addition of the static key decreases
  pps in ZC mode by 6%
* Adding a static key eliminates this drop. Overall performce difference
  compared to a clean tree in inconsequential.

skb (packets with invalid IP, dropped by stack):
* Overall, patchset improves peak performance in skb mode by about 0.5%

Changes since v5:
* drop checksum hint from the patchset entirely
* Alex's patch that lifts the data_meta size limitation is no longer
  required in this patchset, so will be sent separately
* new patch: hide some ice hints code behind a static key
* fix several bugs in ZC mode (ice)
* change argument order in VLAN hint kfunc (tci, proto -> proto, tci)
* cosmetic changes
* analyze performance impact

Changes since v4:
* Drop the concept of partial checksum from the hint design
* Drop the concept of checksum level from the hint design

Changes since v3:
* use XDP_CHECKSUM_VALID_LVL0 + csum_level instead of csum_level + 1
* fix spelling mistakes
* read XDP timestamp unconditionally
* add TO_STR() macro

Changes since v2:
* redesign checksum hint, so now it gives full status
* rename vlan_tag -> vlan_tci, where applicable
* use open_netns() and close_netns() in xdp_metadata
* improve VLAN hint documentation
* replace CFI with DEI
* use VLAN_VID_MASK in xdp_metadata
* make vlan_get_tag() return -ENODATA
* remove unused rx_ptype in ice_xsk.c
* fix ice timestamp code division between patches

Changes since v1:
* directly return RX hash, RX timestamp and RX checksum status
  in skb-common functions
* use intermediate enum value for checksum status in ice
* get rid of ring structure dependency in ice kfunc implementation
* make variables const, when possible, in ice implementation
* use -ENODATA instead of -EOPNOTSUPP for driver implementation
* instead of having 2 separate functions for c-tag and s-tag,
  use 1 function that outputs both VLAN tag and protocol ID
* improve documentation for introduced hints
* update xdp_metadata selftest to test new hints
* implement new hints in veth, so they can be tested in xdp_metadata
* parse VLAN tag in xdp_hw_metadata
