v8 cover net: low latency Ethernet device polling

David,

Here is v8 with yet more fixes.

Please consider applying.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

-Eliezer

change log:
v8
- split out udp and select/poll into seperate patches. what used to be patch 2/5 is now three patches.
- type corrections from Amir Vadai and Cong Wang:
one unsigned long that was left when chenging to cycles_t int -> bool
- more detailed patch descriptions.

v7
- suggested by Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet:
type fixes, static for globals in net/core.c,
avoid napi_id collisions in napi_hash_add()

v6
- many small fixes suggested by Eric Dumazet:
data locality, typos, documentation
protect napi_hash insert/delete with a spinlock (napi_gen_id is no longer atomic_t since it's only accessed with the spinlock held.)
- added IPv6 TCP and UDP support (only minimally tested)

v5
- corrections suggested by Ben Hutchings:
fixed typos, moved the config option and sysctl value from IPv4 to net
- moved sk_mark_ll() to the protocol handlers
- removed global id mechanism, replaced with a hashed napi_id. based on code sample from Eric Dumazet
Note that ixgbe_free_q_vector() already waits an rcu grace period before freeing the q_vector, so nothing additional needs to be done when adding a call to napi_hash_del().
- simple poll/select support

v4
- removed separate config option for TCP as suggested Eric Dumazet.
- added linux mib counter for packets received through the low latency path, as suggested by Andi Kleen.
- re-allow module unloading, remove module param, use a global generation id instead to prevent the use of a stale napi pointer, as suggested by Eric Dumazet
- updated Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt text

v3
- coding style changes suggested by Dave Miller

v2
- the sysctl knob is now in microseconds. The default value is now 0 (off).
- for now the code depends at configure time on CONFIG_I86_TSC
- the napi reference in struct skb is now a union with the dma cookie since the former is only used on RX and the latter on TX,
as suggested by Eric Dumazet.
- we do a better job at honoring non-blocking operations.
- removed busy-polling support for tcp_read_sock()
- remove dynamic disabling of GRO
- coding style fixes
- disallow unloading the device module after the feature has been used

PATCH v8 1/7 net: add napi_id and hash

Adds a napi_id and a hashing mechanism to lookup a napi by id. This will be used by subsequent patches to implement low latency Ethernet device polling.
Based on a code sample by Eric Dumazet.

PATCH v8 2/7 net: add low latency socket poll

In reply to Eliezer Tamir

Adds an ndo_ll_poll method and the code that supports it. This method can be used by low latency applications to busy-poll Ethernet device queues directly from the socket code. sysctl_net_ll_poll controls how many microseconds to poll. Default is zero (disabled).
Individual protocol support will be added by subsequent patches.

One more thing I just noticed: should be 'sizeof(int)'. Because proc_dointvec is expecting an int, sizeof(unsigned long) will produce an array of two ints.

PATCH v8 3/7 udp: add low latency socket poll support

In reply to Eliezer Tamir

Add upport for busy-polling on UDP sockets.
In __udp[46]_lib_rcv add a call to sk_mark_ll() to copy the napi_id from the skb into the sk.
This is done at the earliest possible moment, right after we identify which socket this skb is for.
In __skb_recv_datagram When there is no data and the user tries to read we busy poll.

Re: [PATCH v8 net-next 3/7] udp: add low latency socket poll support

Quoted 8 lines · Eliezer Tamir

Add upport for busy-polling on UDP sockets.
In __udp[46]_lib_rcv add a call to sk_mark_ll() to copy the napi_id from the skb into the sk.
This is done at the earliest possible moment, right after we identify which socket this skb is for.
In __skb_recv_datagram When there is no data and the user tries to read we busy poll.

PATCH v8 4/7 tcp: add low latency socket poll support.

In reply to Eliezer Tamir

Adds low latency socket poll support for TCP.
In tcp_v[46]_rcv() add a call to sk_mark_ll() to copy the napi_id from the skb to the sk.
In tcp_recvmsg(), when there is no data in the socket we busy-poll. This is a good example of how to add busy-poll support to more protocols.

Adds low latency socket poll support for TCP.
In tcp_v[46]_rcv() add a call to sk_mark_ll() to copy the napi_id from the skb to the sk.
In tcp_recvmsg(), when there is no data in the socket we busy-poll. This is a good example of how to add busy-poll support to more protocols.

PATCH v8 5/7 net: simple poll/select low latency socket poll

In reply to Eliezer Tamir

A very naive select/poll busy-poll support.
Add busy-polling to sock_poll().
When poll/select have nothing to report, call the low-level sock_poll() again untill we are out of time or we find something. Rigth now we poll every socket once, this is subpotimal but impoves latency when the number of sockets polled is not large.

In fact, for TCP, POLLOUT event being ready can also be triggered by incoming messages, as the ACK might allow the user application to push more data in the write queue.

And you might check wait->_key to avoid testing flags that user is not interested into.

yes, comparing to _key is more correct.
In any case this needs to be completely rewritten for support for working well with a large number of sockets.

Is it possible for wait to be NULL? (do we need to check for that?) I see that poll_does_not_wait() checks for that, but I could not find anywhere this is actually done.

PATCH v8 6/7 ixgbe: add support for ndo_ll_poll

In reply to Eliezer Tamir

Add the ixgbe driver code implementing ndo_ll_poll.
Adds ndo_ll_poll method and locking between it and the napi poll. When receiving a packet we use skb_mark_ll to record the napi it came from. Add each napi to the napi_hash right after netif_napi_add().

Acked-by on the v8 series
#18 lore raw
In reply to Eliezer Tamir

Nice work Eliezer :)

Quoted 77 lines · Eliezer Tamir

David,

Here is v8 with yet more fixes.

Please consider applying.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

-Eliezer

change log:
v8
- split out udp and select/poll into seperate patches. what used to be patch 2/5 is now three patches.
- type corrections from Amir Vadai and Cong Wang:
one unsigned long that was left when chenging to cycles_t int -> bool
- more detailed patch descriptions.

v7
- suggested by Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet:
type fixes, static for globals in net/core.c,
avoid napi_id collisions in napi_hash_add()

v6
- many small fixes suggested by Eric Dumazet:
data locality, typos, documentation
protect napi_hash insert/delete with a spinlock (napi_gen_id is no longer atomic_t since it's only accessed with the spinlock held.)
- added IPv6 TCP and UDP support (only minimally tested)

v5
- corrections suggested by Ben Hutchings:
fixed typos, moved the config option and sysctl value from IPv4 to net
- moved sk_mark_ll() to the protocol handlers
- removed global id mechanism, replaced with a hashed napi_id. based on code sample from Eric Dumazet
Note that ixgbe_free_q_vector() already waits an rcu grace period before freeing the q_vector, so nothing additional needs to be done when adding a call to napi_hash_del().
- simple poll/select support

v4
- removed separate config option for TCP as suggested Eric Dumazet.
- added linux mib counter for packets received through the low latency path, as suggested by Andi Kleen.
- re-allow module unloading, remove module param, use a global generation id instead to prevent the use of a stale napi pointer, as suggested by Eric Dumazet
- updated Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt text

v3
- coding style changes suggested by Dave Miller

v2
- the sysctl knob is now in microseconds. The default value is now 0 (off).
- for now the code depends at configure time on CONFIG_I86_TSC
- the napi reference in struct skb is now a union with the dma cookie since the former is only used on RX and the latter on TX,
as suggested by Eric Dumazet.
- we do a better job at honoring non-blocking operations.
- removed busy-polling support for tcp_read_sock()
- remove dynamic disabling of GRO
- coding style fixes
- disallow unloading the device module after the feature has been used
