SO_TXTIME hardware offload requires testing across devices, either
between machines or separate network namespaces.

Split up SO_TXTIME test into tx and rx modes, so traffic can be
sent from one process to another. Create a veth-pair on different
namespaces and bind each process to an end point via [-S]ource and
[-D]estination parameters. Optional start [-t]ime parameter can be
passed to synchronize the test across the hosts (with synchorinzed
clocks).

XDP for NXP ENETC

This series adds support to the enetc driver for the basic XDP primitives.
The ENETC is a network controller found inside the NXP LS1028A SoC,
which is a dual-core Cortex A72 device for industrial networking,
with the CPUs clocked at up to 1.3 GHz. On this platform, there are 4
ENETC ports and a 6-port embedded DSA switch, in a topology that looks
like this:

      2.5Gbps     1Gbps

The ENETC ports 2 and 3 can act as DSA masters for the embedded switch.
Because 4 out of the 6 externally-facing ports of the SoC are switch
ports, the most interesting use case for XDP on this device is in fact
XDP_TX on the 2.5Gbps DSA master.

Nonetheless, the results presented below are for IPv4 forwarding between
ENETC port 0 (eno0) and port 1 (eno1) both configured for 1Gbps.
There are two streams of IPv4/UDP datagrams with a frame length of 64
octets delivered at 100% port load to eno0 and to eno1. eno0 has a flow
steering rule to process the traffic on RX ring 0 (CPU 0), and eno1 has
a flow steering rule towards RX ring 1 (CPU 1).

For the IPFWD test, standard IP routing was enabled in the netns.
For the XDP_DROP test, the samples/bpf/xdp1 program was attached to both
eno0 and to eno1.
For the XDP_TX test, the samples/bpf/xdp2 program was attached to both
eno0 and to eno1.
For the XDP_REDIRECT test, the samples/bpf/xdp_redirect program was
attached once to the input of eno0/output of eno1, and twice to the
input of eno1/output of eno0.

Finally, the preliminary results are as follows:

        | IPFWD | XDP_TX | XDP_REDIRECT | XDP_DROP
--------+-------+--------+-------------------------
fps     | 761   | 2535   | 1735         | 2783
Gbps    | 0.51  | 1.71   | 1.17         | n/a

There is a strange phenomenon in my testing sistem where it appears that
one CPU is processing more than the other. I have not investigated this
too much. Also, the code might not be very well optimized (for example
dma_sync_for_device is called with the full ENETC_RXB_DMA_SIZE_XDP).

Design wise, the ENETC is a PCI device with BD rings, so it uses the
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED memory model, as can typically be seen in Intel
devices. The strategy was to build upon the existing model that the
driver uses, and not change it too much. So you will see things like a
separate NAPI poll function for XDP.

I have only tested with PAGE_SIZE=4096, and since we split pages in
half, it means that MTU-sized frames are scatter/gather (the XDP
headroom + skb_shared_info only leaves us 1476 bytes of data per
buffer). This is sub-optimal, but I would rather keep it this way and
help speed up Lorenzo's series for S/G support through testing, rather
than change the enetc driver to use some other memory model like page_pool.
My code is already structured for S/G, and that works fine for XDP_DROP
and XDP_TX, just not for XDP_REDIRECT, even between two enetc ports.
So the S/G XDP_REDIRECT is stubbed out (the frames are dropped), but
obviously I would like to remove that limitation soon.

Please note that I am rather new to this kind of stuff, I am more of a
control path person, so I would appreciate feedback.

Enough talking, on to the patches.

The driver implementation of the XDP_REDIRECT action reuses parts from
XDP_TX, most notably the enetc_xdp_tx function which transmits an array
of TX software BDs. Only this time, the buffers don't have DMA mappings,
we need to create them.

When a BPF program reaches the XDP_REDIRECT verdict for a frame, we can
employ the same buffer reuse strategy as for the normal processing path
and for XDP_PASS: we can flip to the other page half and seed that to
the RX ring.

Note that scatter/gather support is there, but disabled due to lack of
multi-buffer support in XDP (which is added by this series):

      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      

As explained in the XDP_TX patch, when receiving a burst of frames with
the XDP_TX verdict, there is a momentary dip in the number of available
RX buffers. The system will eventually recover as TX completions will
start kicking in and refilling our RX BD ring again. But until that
happens, we need to survive with as few out-of-buffer discards as
possible.

This increases the memory footprint of the driver in order to avoid
discards at 2.5Gbps line rate 64B packet sizes, the maximum speed
available for testing on 1 port on NXP LS1028A.

For reflecting packets back into the interface they came from, we create
an array of TX software BDs derived from the RX software BDs. Therefore,
we need to extend the TX software BD structure to contain most of the
stuff that's already present in the RX software BD structure, for
reasons that will become evident in a moment.

For a frame with the XDP_TX verdict, we don't reuse any buffer right
away as we do for XDP_DROP (the same page half) or XDP_PASS (the other
page half, same as the skb code path).

Because the buffer transfers ownership from the RX ring to the TX ring,
reusing any page half right away is very dangerous. So what we can do is
we can recycle the same page half as soon as TX is complete.

The code path is:
enetc_poll
-> enetc_clean_rx_ring_xdp
   -> enetc_xdp_tx
   -> enetc_refill_rx_ring
(time passes, another MSI interrupt is raised)
enetc_poll
-> enetc_clean_tx_ring
   -> enetc_recycle_xdp_tx_buff

But that creates a problem, because there is a potentially large time
window between enetc_xdp_tx and enetc_recycle_xdp_tx_buff, period in
which we'll have less and less RX buffers.

Basically, when the ship starts sinking, the knee-jerk reaction is to
let enetc_refill_rx_ring do what it does for the standard skb code path
(refill every 16 consumed buffers), but that turns out to be very
inefficient. The problem is that we have no rx_swbd->page at our
disposal from the enetc_reuse_page path, so enetc_refill_rx_ring would
have to call enetc_new_page for every buffer that we refill (if we
choose to refill at this early stage). Very inefficient, it only makes
the problem worse, because page allocation is an expensive process, and
CPU time is exactly what we're lacking.

Additionally, there is an even bigger problem: if we let
enetc_refill_rx_ring top up the ring's buffers again from the RX path,
remember that the buffers sent to transmission haven't disappeared
anywhere. They will be eventually sent, and processed in
enetc_clean_tx_ring, and an attempt will be made to recycle them.
But surprise, the RX ring is already full of new buffers, because we
were premature in deciding that we should refill. So not only we took
the expensive decision of allocating new pages, but now we must throw
away perfectly good and reusable buffers.

So what we do is we implement an elastic refill mechanism, which keeps
track of the number of in-flight XDP_TX buffer descriptors. We top up
the RX ring only up to the total ring capacity minus the number of BDs
that are in flight (because we know that those BDs will return to us
eventually).

The enetc driver manages 1 RX ring per CPU, and the default TX ring
management is the same. So we do XDP_TX towards the TX ring of the same
index, because it is affined to the same CPU. This will probably not
produce great results when we have a tc-taprio/tc-mqprio qdisc on the
interface, because in that case, the number of TX rings might be
greater, but I didn't add any checks for that yet (mostly because I
didn't know what checks to add).

It should also be noted that we need to change the DMA mapping direction
for RX buffers, since they may now be reflected into the TX ring of the
same device. We choose to use DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL instead of unmapping and
remapping as DMA_TO_DEVICE, because performance is better this way.

For the RX ring, enetc uses an allocation scheme based on pages split
into two buffers, which is already very efficient in terms of preventing
reallocations / maximizing reuse, so I see no reason why I would change
that.

         next_to_alloc

then when enetc_refill_rx_ring is called, whose purpose is to advance
next_to_use, it sees that it can take buffers up to next_to_alloc, and
it says "oh, hey, rx_swbd->page isn't NULL, I don't need to allocate
one!".

The only problem is that for default PAGE_SIZE values of 4096, buffer
sizes are 2048 bytes. While this is enough for normal skb allocations at
an MTU of 1500 bytes, for XDP it isn't, because the XDP headroom is 256
bytes, and including skb_shared_info and alignment, we end up being able
to make use of only 1472 bytes, which is insufficient for the default
MTU.

To solve that problem, we implement scatter/gather processing in the
driver, because we would really like to keep the existing allocation
scheme. A packet of 1500 bytes is received in a buffer of 1472 bytes and
another one of 28 bytes.

Because the headroom required by XDP is different (and much larger) than
the one required by the network stack, whenever a BPF program is added
or deleted on the port, we drain the existing RX buffers and seed new
ones with the required headroom. We also keep the required headroom in
rx_ring->buffer_offset.

The simplest way to implement XDP_PASS, where an skb must be created, is
to create an xdp_buff based on the next_to_clean RX BDs, but not clear
those BDs from the RX ring yet, just keep the original index at which
the BDs for this frame started. Then, if the verdict is XDP_PASS,
instead of converting the xdb_buff to an skb, we replay a call to
enetc_build_skb (just as in the normal enetc_clean_rx_ring case),
starting from the original BD index.

We would also like to be minimally invasive to the regular RX data path,
and not check whether there is a BPF program attached to the ring on
every packet. So we create a separate RX ring processing function for
XDP.

Because we only install/remove the BPF program while the interface is
down, we forgo the rcu_read_lock() in enetc_clean_rx_ring, since there
shouldn't be any circumstance in which we are processing packets and
there is a potentially freed BPF program attached to the RX ring.

      net: enetc: clean the TX software BD on the TX confirmation path · 1ee8d6f3
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      

With the future introduction of some new fields into enetc_tx_swbd such
as is_xdp_tx, is_xdp_redirect etc, we need not only to set these bits
to true from the XDP_TX/XDP_REDIRECT code path, but also to false from
the old code paths.

This is because TX software buffer descriptors are kept in a ring that
is shadow of the hardware TX ring, so these structures keep getting
reused, and there is always the possibility that when a software BD is
reused (after we ran a full circle through the TX ring), the old user of
the tx_swbd had set is_xdp_tx = true, and now we are sending a regular
skb, which would need to set is_xdp_tx = false.

To be minimally invasive to the old code paths, let's just scrub the
software TX BD in the TX confirmation path (enetc_clean_tx_ring), once
we know that nobody uses this software TX BD (tx_ring->next_to_clean
hasn't yet been updated, and the TX paths check enetc_bd_unused which
tells them if there's any more space in the TX ring for a new enqueue).

      net: enetc: add a dedicated is_eof bit in the TX software BD · d504498d
      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      

In the transmit path, if we have a scatter/gather frame, it is put into
multiple software buffer descriptors, the last of which has the skb
pointer populated (which is necessary for rearming the TX MSI vector and
for collecting the two-step TX timestamp from the TX confirmation path).

At the moment, this is sufficient, but with XDP_TX, we'll need to
service TX software buffer descriptors that don't have an skb pointer,
however they might be final nonetheless. So add a dedicated bit for
final software BDs that we populate and check explicitly. Also, we keep
looking just for an skb when doing TX timestamping, because we don't
want/need that for XDP.

      Vladimir Oltean authored 
      

We need to build an skb from two code paths now: from the plain RX data
path and from the XDP data path when the verdict is XDP_PASS.

Create a new enetc_build_skb function which contains the essential steps
for building an skb based on the first and last positions of buffer
descriptors within the RX ring.

We also squash the enetc_process_skb function into enetc_build_skb,
because what that function did wasn't very meaningful on its own.

The "rx_frm_cnt++" instruction has been moved around napi_gro_receive
for cosmetic reasons, to be in the same spot as rx_byte_cnt++, which
itself must be before napi_gro_receive, because that's when we lose
ownership of the skb.
