Merge branch 'xdp_rxq_info'
Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== V4: * Added reviewers/acks to patches * Fix patch desc in i40e that got out-of-sync with code * Add SPDX license headers for the two new files added in patch 14 V3: * Fixed bug in virtio_net driver * Removed export of xdp_rxq_info_init() V2: * Changed API exposed to drivers - Removed invocation of "init" in drivers, and only call "reg" (Suggested by Saeed) - Allow "reg" to fail and handle this in drivers (Suggested by David Ahern) * Removed the SINKQ qtype, instead allow to register as "unused" * Also fixed some drivers during testing on actual HW (noted in patches) There is a need for XDP to know more about the RX-queue a given XDP frames have arrived on. For both the XDP bpf-prog and kernel side. Instead of extending struct xdp_buff each time new info is needed, this patchset takes a different approach. Struct xdp_buff is only extended with a pointer to a struct xdp_rxq_info (allowing for easier extending this later). This xdp_rxq_info contains information related to how the driver have setup the individual RX-queue's. This is read-mostly information, and all xdp_buff frames (in drivers napi_poll) point to the same xdp_rxq_info (per RX-queue). We stress this data/cache-line is for read-mostly info. This is NOT for dynamic per packet info, use the data_meta for such use-cases. This patchset start out small, and only expose ingress_ifindex and the RX-queue index to the XDP/BPF program. Access to tangible info like the ingress ifindex and RX queue index, is fairly easy to comprehent. The other future use-cases could allow XDP frames to be recycled back to the originating device driver, by providing info on RX device and queue number. As XDP doesn't have driver feature flags, and eBPF code due to bpf-tail-calls cannot determine that XDP driver invoke it, this patchset have to update every driver that support XDP. For driver developers (review individual driver patches!): The xdp_rxq_info is tied to the drivers RX-ring(s). Whenever a RX-ring modification require (temporary) stopping RX frames, then the xdp_rxq_info should (likely) also be unregistred and re-registered, especially if reallocating the pages in the ring. Make sure ethtool set_channels does the right thing. When replacing XDP prog, if and only if RX-ring need to be changed, then also re-register the xdp_rxq_info. I'm Cc'ing the individual driver patches to the registered maintainers. Testing: I've only tested the NIC drivers I have hardware for. The general test procedure is to (DUT = Device Under Test): (1) run pktgen script pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh (against DUT) (2) run samples/bpf program xdp_rxq_info --dev $DEV (on DUT) (3) runtime modify number of NIC queues via ethtool -L (on DUT) (4) runtime modify number of NIC ring-size via ethtool -G (on DUT) Patch based on git tree bpf-next (at commit fb982666e380c1632a): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/ ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
