Merge branch 'Add support for transmitting packets using XDP in bpf_prog_run()'
Toke Høiland-Jørgensen says: ==================== This series adds support for transmitting packets using XDP in bpf_prog_run(), by enabling a new mode "live packet" mode which will handle the XDP program return codes and redirect the packets to the stack or other devices. The primary use case for this is testing the redirect map types and the ndo_xdp_xmit driver operation without an external traffic generator. But it turns out to also be useful for creating a programmable traffic generator in XDP, as well as injecting frames into the stack. A sample traffic generator, which was included in previous versions of the series, but now moved to xdp-tools, transmits up to 9 Mpps/core on my test machine. To transmit the frames, the new mode instantiates a page_pool structure in bpf_prog_run() and initialises the pages to contain XDP frames with the data passed in by userspace. These frames can then be handled as though they came from the hardware XDP path, and the existing page_pool code takes care of returning and recycling them. The setup is optimised for high performance with a high number of repetitions to support stress testing and the traffic generator use case; see patch 1 for details. v11: - Fix override of return code in xdp_test_run_batch() - Add Martin's ACKs to remaining patches v10: - Only propagate memory allocation errors from xdp_test_run_batch() - Get rid of BPF_F_TEST_XDP_RESERVED; batch_size can be used to probe - Check that batch_size is unset in non-XDP test_run funcs - Lower the number of repetitions in the selftest to 10k - Count number of recycled pages in the selftest - Fix a few other nits from Martin, carry forward ACKs v9: - XDP_DROP packets in the selftest to ensure pages are recycled - Fix a few issues reported by the kernel test robot - Rewrite the documentation of the batch size to make it a bit clearer - Rebase to newest bpf-next v8: - Make the batch size configurable from userspace - Don't interrupt the packet loop on errors in do_redirect (this can be caught from the tracepoint) - Add documentation of the feature - Add reserved flag userspace can use to probe for support (kernel didn't check flags previously) - Rebase to newest bpf-next, disallow live mode for jumbo frames v7: - Extend the local_bh_disable() to cover the full test run loop, to prevent running concurrently with the softirq. Fixes a deadlock with veth xmit. - Reinstate the forwarding sysctl setting in the selftest, and bump up the number of packets being transmitted to trigger the above bug. - Update commit message to make it clear that user space can select the ingress interface. v6: - Fix meta vs data pointer setting and add a selftest for it - Add local_bh_disable() around code passing packets up the stack - Create a new netns for the selftest and use a TC program instead of the forwarding hack to count packets being XDP_PASS'ed from the test prog. - Check for the correct ingress ifindex in the selftest - Rebase and drop patches 1-5 that were already merged v5: - Rebase to current bpf-next v4: - Fix a few code style issues (Alexei) - Also handle the other return codes: XDP_PASS builds skbs and injects them into the stack, and XDP_TX is turned into a redirect out the same interface (Alexei). - Drop the last patch adding an xdp_trafficgen program to samples/bpf; this will live in xdp-tools instead (Alexei). - Add a separate bpf_test_run_xdp_live() function to test_run.c instead of entangling the new mode in the existing bpf_test_run(). v3: - Reorder patches to make sure they all build individually (Patchwork) - Remove a couple of unused variables (Patchwork) - Remove unlikely() annotation in slow path and add back John's ACK that I accidentally dropped for v2 (John) v2: - Split up up __xdp_do_redirect to avoid passing two pointers to it (John) - Always reset context pointers before each test run (John) - Use get_mac_addr() from xdp_sample_user.h instead of rolling our own (Kumar) - Fix wrong offset for metadata pointer ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
