v4 cover add DMA-sync-for-device capability to page_pool API

Introduce the possibility to sync DMA memory for device in the page_pool API. This feature allows to sync proper DMA size and not always full buffer (dma_sync_single_for_device can be very costly).
Please note DMA-sync-for-CPU is still device driver responsibility. Relying on page_pool DMA sync mvneta driver improves XDP_DROP pps of about 170Kpps:

- XDP_DROP DMA sync managed by mvneta driver: ~420Kpps
- XDP_DROP DMA sync managed by page_pool API: ~585Kpps

Changes since v3:
- move dma_sync_for_device before putting the page in ptr_ring in __page_pool_recycle_into_ring since ptr_ring can be consumed concurrently. Simplify the code moving dma_sync_for_device before running __page_pool_recycle_direct/__page_pool_recycle_into_ring

Changes since v2:
- rely on PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV flag instead of dma_sync

Changes since v1:
- rename sync in dma_sync
- set dma_sync_size to 0xFFFFFFFF in page_pool_recycle_direct and page_pool_put_page routines
- Improve documentation

PATCH v4 1/3 net: mvneta: rely on page_pool_recycle_direct in mvneta_run_xdp

Rely on page_pool_recycle_direct and not on xdp_return_buff in mvneta_run_xdp. This is a preliminary patch to limit the dma sync len to the one strictly necessary

PATCH v4 2/3 net: page_pool: add the possibility to sync DMA memory for device

In reply to Lorenzo Bianconi

Introduce the following parameters in order to add the possibility to sync DMA memory for device before putting allocated pages in the page_pool caches:
- PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV: if set in page_pool_params flags, all pages that the driver gets from page_pool will be DMA-synced-for-device according to the length provided by the device driver. Please note DMA-sync-for-CPU is still device driver responsibility
- offset: DMA address offset where the DMA engine starts copying rx data
- max_len: maximum DMA memory size page_pool is allowed to flush. This is currently used in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow routine when pages are allocated from page allocator
These parameters are supposed to be set by device drivers.

This optimization reduces the length of the DMA-sync-for-device. The optimization is valid because pages are initially DMA-synced-for-device as defined via max_len. At RX time, the driver will perform a DMA-sync-for-CPU on the memory for the packet length. What is important is the memory occupied by packet payload, because this is the area CPU is allowed to read and modify. As we don't track cache-lines written into by the CPU, simply use the packet payload length as dma_sync_size at page_pool recycle time. This also take into account any tail-extend.

I like that you have moved this check to setup time.

There are two other parameters the DMA_SYNC_DEV depend on:

struct page_pool_params pp_params = {
.order = 0,
- .flags = PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP,
+ .flags = PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP | PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV,
.pool_size = size,
.nid = cpu_to_node(0),
.dev = pp->dev->dev.parent,
.dma_dir = xdp_prog ? DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL : DMA_FROM_DEVICE,
+ .offset = pp->rx_offset_correction,
+ .max_len = MVNETA_MAX_RX_BUF_SIZE,
};

Can you add a check, that .max_len must not be zero. The reason is that I can easily see people misconfiguring this. And the effect is that the DMA-sync-for-device is essentially disabled, without user realizing this. The not-realizing part is really bad, especially because bugs that can occur from this are very rare and hard to catch.

I'm up for discussing if there should be a similar check for .offset. IMHO we should also check .offset is configured, and then be open to remove this check once a driver user want to use offset=0. Does the mvneta driver already have a use-case for this (in non-XDP mode)?

I don't follow the 'performance hit' comment. This is checked at setup time (page_pool_init), thus it doesn't affect runtime.

This is a generic optimization principle that I use a lot. Moving code checks out of fast-path, and instead do more at setup/load-time, or even at shutdown-time (like we do for page_pool e.g. check refcnt invariance). This principle is also heavily used by BPF, that adjust BPF-instructions at load-time. It is core to getting the performance we need for high-speed networking.

I don't follow the 'performance hit' comment. This is checked at setup time (page_pool_init), thus it doesn't affect runtime.

If the offset is 0, you'll end up syncing a couple of uneeded bytes (whatever headers the buffer has which doesn't need syncing).

The offset will affect the fast path running code.

What i am worried about is that XDP and SKB pool will have different needs for offsets. In the netsec driver i am dealing with this with reserving the same header whether the packet is an SKB or XDP buffer. If we check the offset we are practically forcing people to do something similar

Can you add a check, that .max_len must not be zero. The reason is that I can easily see people misconfiguring this. And the effect is that the DMA-sync-for-device is essentially disabled, without user realizing this. The not-realizing part is really bad, especially because bugs that can occur from this are very rare and hard to catch.

I guess we need to check it just if we provide PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV. Something like:

	if (pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV) {
		if (!(pool->p.flags & PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP))
			return -EINVAL;

		if (!pool->p.max_len)
			return -EINVAL;
	}
Quoted 5 lines

I'm up for discussing if there should be a similar check for .offset. IMHO we should also check .offset is configured, and then be open to remove this check once a driver user want to use offset=0. Does the mvneta driver already have a use-case for this (in non-XDP mode)?

With 'non-XDP mode' do you mean not loading a BPF program? If so yes, it used in __page_pool_alloc_pages_slow getting pages from page allocator. What would be a right min value for it? Just 0 or XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM/NET_SKB_PAD? I guess here it matters if a BPF program is loaded or not.

Yes. I guess we just accept .offset can be zero. It is an artificial limitation.

The check is not important if API is used correctly. It comes from my API design philosophy for page_pool, which is "Easy to use, and hard to misuse". This is a case of catching "misuse" and signaling that this was a wrong config. The check for pool->p.max_len should be enough, for driver developer to notice, that they also need to set offset. Maybe a comment close to pool->p.max_len check about "offset" will be enough. Given you return the "catch all" -EINVAL, we/you force driver devel to read code for page_pool_init(), which IMHO is sufficiently clear.

PATCH v4 3/3 net: mvneta: get rid of huge dma sync in mvneta_rx_refill

In reply to Lorenzo Bianconi

Get rid of costly dma_sync_single_for_device in mvneta_rx_refill since now the driver can let page_pool API to manage needed DMA sync with a proper size.

- XDP_DROP DMA sync managed by mvneta driver: ~420Kpps
- XDP_DROP DMA sync managed by page_pool API: ~585Kpps

This does beg for the question: Should we create an API wrapper for this in the header file?

But what to name it?

I know Jonathan doesn't like the "direct" part of the previous function name page_pool_recycle_direct. (I do considered calling this 'napi' instead, as it would be inline with networking use-cases, but it seemed limited if other subsystem end-up using this).

Does is 'page_pool_put_page_len' sound better?

But I want also want hide the bool 'allow_direct' in the API name. (As it makes it easier to identify users that uses this from softirq)

Going for 'page_pool_put_page_len_napi' starts to be come rather long.

This does beg for the question: Should we create an API wrapper for this in the header file?

But what to name it?

I know Jonathan doesn't like the "direct" part of the previous function name page_pool_recycle_direct. (I do considered calling this 'napi' instead, as it would be inline with networking use-cases, but it seemed limited if other subsystem end-up using this).

Quoted 6 lines

Does is 'page_pool_put_page_len' sound better?

But I want also want hide the bool 'allow_direct' in the API name. (As it makes it easier to identify users that uses this from softirq)

Going for 'page_pool_put_page_len_napi' starts to be come rather long.

What about removing the second 'page'? Something like:
- page_pool_put_len_napi()

I am not against the suggestion but personally I would prefer to explicitate in the routine name where/how it is actually used. Moreover page_pool_recycle_direct or page_pool_put_page are currently used by multiple drivers and it seems to me out of the scope of this series. I think we can address it in a follow-up series and use __page_pool_put_page for the moment (it is actually just used by mvneta). Agree?
