PATCH 1/2 net: skbuff: add xdp_frags_tsize field to skb_shared_info

xdp_frags_tsize field will be used to store paged frame truesize for xdp_buff/xdp_frame. In order to not increase skb_shared_info size we will use a hole due to skb_shared_info alignment.
gso_type filed will be used to store paged frame size. This is a preliminary patch to properly support xdp multi-buff

PATCH 2/2 net: xdp: add xdp_update_skb_shared_info utility routine

In reply to Lorenzo Bianconi

Introduce xdp_update_skb_shared_info routine to update frags array metadata from a given xdp_buffer/xdp_frame. We do not need to reset frags array since it is already initialized by the driver. Rely on xdp_update_skb_shared_info in mvneta driver.

Some more context here would really help. I had to jump into the mvneta driver to see what is happening.

So as I read this we have a loop processing the descriptor in mvneta_rx_swbm()

mvneta_rx_swbm()

   while (rx_proc < budget && rx_proc < rx_todo) {
     if (rx_status & MVNETA_RXD_FIRST_DESC) ...
     else {
       mvneta_swbm_add_rx_fragment()
     }
     ..
     if (!rx_status & MVNETA_RXD_LAST_DESC)
         continue;
     ..
     if (xdp_prog)
       mvneta_run_xdp(...)

}

roughly looking like above. First question, do you ever hit !MVNETA_RXD_LAST_DESC today? I assume this is avoided by hardware setup when XDP is enabled, otherwise _run_xdp() would be broken correct? Next question, given last descriptor bit logic whats the condition to hit the code added in this patch? wouldn't we need more than 1 descriptor and then we would skip the xdp_run... sorry lost me and its probably easier to let you give the flow vs spending an hour trying to track it down.

But, in theory as you handle a hardware discriptor you can build up a set of pages using them to create a single skb rather than a skb per descriptor. But don't we know if pfmemalloc should be done while we are building the frag list? Can't se just set it vs this for loop in xdp_update_skb_shared_info(),

Would be nice to also change 'int size' -> 'unsigned int size' so the types matched. Presumably you really can't have a negative size.

Also how about giving gso_type a better name. xdp_sinfo->size maybe?

OK, but it adds an extra for loop and the related overhead. Can we avoid this overhead and just set it from where we first know we have a compound page. Or carry some bit through and do a simpler check,

if (pfmemalloc_needed) skb->pfmemalloc = true;

I guess in the case here its building the skb so performance is maybe not as critical, but if it gets used in the redirect case then we shouldn't be doing unnecessary for loops.

Introduce xdp_update_skb_shared_info routine to update frags array metadata from a given xdp_buffer/xdp_frame. We do not need to reset frags array since it is already initialized by the driver. Rely on xdp_update_skb_shared_info in mvneta driver.

Some more context here would really help. I had to jump into the mvneta driver to see what is happening.

Hi John,

ack, you are right. I will add more context next time. Sorry for the noise.

So as I read this we have a loop processing the descriptor in mvneta_rx_swbm()

mvneta_rx_swbm()

   while (rx_proc < budget && rx_proc < rx_todo) {
     if (rx_status & MVNETA_RXD_FIRST_DESC) ...
     else {
       mvneta_swbm_add_rx_fragment()
     }
     ..
     if (!rx_status & MVNETA_RXD_LAST_DESC)
         continue;
     ..
     if (xdp_prog)
       mvneta_run_xdp(...)

}

Quoted 9 lines

roughly looking like above. First question, do you ever hit !MVNETA_RXD_LAST_DESC today? I assume this is avoided by hardware setup when XDP is enabled, otherwise _run_xdp() would be broken correct? Next question, given last descriptor bit logic whats the condition to hit the code added in this patch? wouldn't we need more than 1 descriptor and then we would skip the xdp_run... sorry lost me and its probably easier to let you give the flow vs spending an hour trying to track it down.

I will point it out in the new commit log, but this is a preliminary patch for xdp multi-buff support. In the current codebase xdp_update_skb_shared_info() is run just when the NIC is not running in XDP mode (please note mvneta_swbm_add_rx_fragment() is run even if xdp_prog is NULL). When we add xdp multi-buff support, xdp_update_skb_shared_info() will run even in XDP mode since we will remove the MTU constraint.

In the current codebsae the following condition can occur in non-XDP mode if the packet is split on 3 or more descriptors (e.g. MTU 9000):

But, as is there is no caller of xdp_update_skb_shared_info() so I think we should move the these two patches into the series with the multibuf support.

mvneta is currently using it building the skb in mvneta_swbm_build_skb() running in non-xdp mode but I am fine merging this series in the multi-buff one.

But, in theory as you handle a hardware discriptor you can build up a set of pages using them to create a single skb rather than a skb per descriptor. But don't we know if pfmemalloc should be done while we are building the frag list? Can't se just set it vs this for loop in xdp_update_skb_shared_info(),

Quoted 4 lines

I added pfmemalloc code in xdp_update_skb_shared_info() in order to reuse it for the xdp_redirect use-case (e.g. whenever we redirect a xdp multi-buff in a veth or in a cpumap). I have a pending patch where I am using xdp_update_skb_shared_info in __xdp_build_skb_from_frame().

OK, but it adds an extra for loop and the related overhead. Can we avoid this overhead and just set it from where we first know we have a compound page. Or carry some bit through and do a simpler check,

Quoted 5 lines

if (pfmemalloc_needed) skb->pfmemalloc = true;

I guess in the case here its building the skb so performance is maybe not as critical, but if it gets used in the redirect case then we shouldn't be doing unnecessary for loops.

doing so every driver will need to take care of it building the xdp_buff. Does it work to do it since probably multi-buff is not critical for performance?
In order to support xdp_redirect we need to save this info in xdp_buff/xdp_frame, maybe in the flag field added in xdp multi-buff series.

OK, but I think we need to improve performance in some of the 100Gbps drivers. Work is in progress so any thing that has potential to slow things down again I want to call out. I agree this might be OK and only matters for nr_frags case.

@Alex, I think you were just saying union the gso_size field not the tskey field. Anyways its a fairly small nit on my side I don't care much either way.
