[v5,net-next,00/12] net: introduce TX H/W shaping API

Message

Paolo Abeni Aug. 29, 2024, 3:16 p.m. UTC

We have a plurality of shaping-related drivers API, but none flexible
enough to meet existing demand from vendors[1].

This series introduces new device APIs to configure in a flexible way
TX H/W shaping. The new functionalities are exposed via a newly
defined generic netlink interface and include introspection
capabilities. Some self-tests are included, on top of a dummy
netdevsim implementation. Finally a basic implementation for the iavf
driver is provided.

Some usage examples:

* Configure shaping on a given queue:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
	--do set --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
			  "shaper": {"handle":
				     {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QUEUEID'},
			  "bw-max": 2000000}}'

* Container B/W sharing

The orchestration infrastructure wants to group the 
container-related queues under a RR scheduling and limit the aggregate
bandwidth:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/shaper.yaml \
	--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
			"leaves": [
			  {"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
			   "weight": '$W1'}, 
			  {"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
			   "weight": '$W2'}], 
			  {"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'},
			   "weight": '$W3'}], 
			"node": {"handle": {"scope":"node"},
			 	 "bw-max": 10000000}}'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 0}}

Q1 \
    \
Q2 -- node 0 -------  netdev
    / (bw-max: 10M)
Q3 / 

* Delegation

A containers wants to limit the aggregate B/W bandwidth of 2 of the 3
queues it owns - the starting configuration is the one from the
previous point:

SPEC=Documentation/netlink/specs/net_shaper.yaml
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC \
	--do group --json '{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
			"leaves": [ 
			  {"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'},
			   "weight": '$W1'}, 
			  {"handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'},
			   "weight": '$W2'}], 
			"node": {"handle": {"scope": "node"},
				 "bw-max": 5000000 }}'
{'ifindex': $IFINDEX, 'handle': {'scope': 'node', 'id': 1}}

Q1 -- node 1 --------\
    / (bw-max: 5M)    \
Q2 /                   node 0 -------  netdev
                      /  (bw-max: 10M)
Q3 ------------------

* Cleanup:

To delete a single queue shaper:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
	'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
	  "handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID3'}}'

Q1 -- node 1 --------\
    / (bw-max: 5M)    \
Q2 /                   node 0 -------  netdev
                       (bw-max: 10M)

Deleting a node shaper relinks all its leaves to the node's parent:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
	'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
	  "handle": {"scope": "node", "id":1}}'

Q1 ------\
          \
          node 0 -------  netdev
         /  (bw-max: 10M)
Q2 -----

Deleting the last shaper under a node shaper deletes the node, too:

./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
	'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
	  "handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID1'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do delete --json \
	'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
	  "handle": {"scope": "queue", "id":'$QID2'}}'
./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec $SPEC --do get --json \
	'{"ifindex": '$IFINDEX',
	  "handle": {"scope": "node", "id": 0}}'
Netlink error: No such file or directory
nl_len = 44 (28) nl_flags = 0x300 nl_type = 2
	error: -2
	extack: {'bad-attr': '.handle'}

Changes from v4:
 - ops operate on struct binding
 - 'root' -> 'node' rename
 - most core function/helpers operate on 'binding'
 - use NL_SET_BAD_ATTR where possible
 - some code deduplication

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/

Changes from v3:
 - rename
 - locking
 - delete operates on node, too

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/

Changes from RFC v2:
 - added patch 1
 - fixed deprecated API usage

RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/

Changes from RFC v1:
 - set() and delete() ops operate on a single shaper
 - added group() op to allow grouping and nesting
 - split the NL implementation into multiple patches to help reviewing

RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/
