Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2024 20:56:34 +0200 Message-ID: <20240603185647.2310748-1-amorenoz@redhat.com> Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: netdev@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 3.0 on 10.30.177.17 X-Patchwork-Delegate: kuba@kernel.org ** Background ** Currently, OVS supports several packet sampling mechanisms (sFlow, per-bridge IPFIX, per-flow IPFIX). These end up being translated into a userspace action that needs to be handled by ovs-vswitchd's handler threads only to be forwarded to some third party application that will somehow process the sample and provide observability on the datapath. A particularly interesting use-case is controller-driven per-flow IPFIX sampling where the OpenFlow controller can add metadata to samples (via two 32bit integers) and this metadata is then available to the sample-collecting system for correlation. ** Problem ** The fact that sampled traffic share netlink sockets and handler thread time with upcalls, apart from being a performance bottleneck in the sample extraction itself, can severely compromise the datapath, yielding this solution unfit for highly loaded production systems. Users are left with little options other than guessing what sampling rate will be OK for their traffic pattern and system load and dealing with the lost accuracy. Looking at available infrastructure, an obvious candidated would be to use psample. However, it's current state does not help with the use-case at stake because sampled packets do not contain user-defined metadata. ** Proposal ** This series is an attempt to fix this situation by extending the existing psample infrastructure to carry a variable length user-defined cookie. The main existing user of psample is tc's act_sample. It is also extended to forward the action's cookie to psample. Finally, a new OVS action (OVS_SAMPLE_ATTR_EMIT_SAMPLE) is created. It accepts a group and an optional cookie and uses psample to multicast the packet and the metadata. --- v1 -> v2: - Create a new action ("emit_sample") rather than reuse existing "sample" one. - Add probability semantics to psample's sampling rate. - Store sampling probability in skb's cb area and use it in emit_sample. - Test combining "emit_sample" with "trunc" - Drop group_id filtering and tracepoint in psample. rfc_v2 -> v1: - Accomodate Ilya's comments. - Split OVS's attribute in two attributes and simplify internal handling of psample arguments. - Extend psample and tc with a user-defined cookie. - Add a tracepoint to psample to facilitate troubleshooting. rfc_v1 -> rfc_v2: - Use psample instead of a new OVS-only multicast group. - Extend psample and tc with a user-defined cookie.
