Support for nexthop group statistics
Subsystems (3)
v3 cover Support for nexthop group statistics
ECMP is a fundamental component in L3 designs. However, it's fragile. Many factors influence whether an ECMP group will operate as intended: hash policy (i.e. the set of fields that contribute to ECMP hash calculation), neighbor validity, hash seed (which might lead to polarization) or the type of ECMP group used (hash-threshold or resilient).
At the same time, collection of statistics that would help an operator determine that the group performs as desired, is difficult.
A solution that we present in this patchset is to add counters to next hop group entries. For SW-datapath deployments, this will on its own allow collection and evaluation of relevant statistics. For HW-datapath deployments, we further add a way to request that HW counters be installed for a given group, in-kernel interfaces to collect the HW statistics, and netlink interfaces to query them.
For example:
# ip nexthop replace id 4000 group 4001/4002 hw_stats on
# ip -s -d nexthop show id 4000
id 4000 group 4001/4002 scope global proto unspec offload hw_stats on used on
stats:
id 4001 packets 5002 packets_hw 5000
id 4002 packets 4999 packets_hw 4999The point of the patchset is visibility of ECMP balance, and that is influenced by packet headers, not their payload. Correspondingly, we only include packet counters in the statistics, not byte counters.
We also decided to model HW statistics as a nexthop group attribute, not an arbitrary nexthop one. The latter would count any traffic going through a given nexthop, regardless of which ECMP group it is in, or any at all. The reason is again hat the point of the patchset is ECMP balance visibility, not arbitrary inspection of how busy a particular nexthop is. Implementation of individual-nexthop statistics is certainly possible, and could well follow the general approach we are taking in this patchset. For resilient groups, per-bucket statistics could be done in a similar manner as well.
This patchset contains the core code. mlxsw support will be sent in a follow-up patch set.
This patchset progresses as follows:
- Patches #1 and #2 add support for a new next-hop object attribute, NHA_OP_FLAGS. That is meant to carry various op-specific signaling, in particular whether SW- and HW-collected nexthop stats should be part of the get or dump response. The idea is to avoid wasting message space, and time for collection of HW statistics, when the values are not needed.
- Patches #3 and #4 add SW-datapath stats and corresponding UAPI.
- Patches #5, #6 and #7 add support fro HW-datapath stats and UAPI. Individual drivers still need to contribute the appropriate HW-specific support code.
v3:
- Patch #3:
- Convert to u64_stats_t
- Patch #4:
- Give a symbolic name to the set of all valid dump flags for the NHA_OP_FLAGS attribute.
- Convert to u64_stats_t
- Patch #6:
- Use a named constant for the NHA_HW_STATS_ENABLE policy.
v2:
- Patch #2:
- Change OP_FLAGS to u32, enforce through NLA_POLICY_MASK
- Patch #3:
- Set err on nexthop_create_group() error path
- Patch #4:
- Use uint to encode NHA_GROUP_STATS_ENTRY_PACKETS
- Rename jump target in nla_put_nh_group_stats() to avoid having to rename further in the patchset.
- Patch #7:
- Use uint to encode NHA_GROUP_STATS_ENTRY_PACKETS_HW
- Do not cancel outside of nesting in nla_put_nh_group_stats()

PATCH v3 1/7 net: nexthop: Adjust netlink policy parsing for a new attribute
A following patch will introduce a new attribute, op-specific flags to adjust the behavior of an operation. Different operations will recognize different flags.
- To make the differentiation possible, stop sharing the policies for get and del operations.
- To allow querying for presence of the attribute, have all the attribute arrays sized to NHA_MAX, regardless of what is permitted by policy, and pass the corresponding value to nlmsg_parse() as well.

PATCH v3 2/7 net: nexthop: Add NHA_OP_FLAGS
In reply to Petr MachataIn order to add per-nexthop statistics, but still not increase netlink message size for consumers that do not care about them, there needs to be a toggle through which the user indicates their desire to get the statistics. To that end, add a new attribute, NHA_OP_FLAGS. The idea is to be able to use the attribute for carrying of arbitrary operation-specific flags, i.e. not make it specific for get / dump.
Add the new attribute to get and dump policies, but do not actually allow any flags yet -- those will come later as the flags themselves are defined. Add the necessary parsing code.

PATCH v3 3/7 net: nexthop: Add nexthop group entry stats
In reply to Petr MachataFrom: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
Add nexthop group entry stats to count the number of packets forwarded via each nexthop in the group. The stats will be exposed to user space for better data path observability in the next patch.
The per-CPU stats pointer is placed at the beginning of 'struct nh_grp_entry', so that all the fields accessed for the data path reside on the same cache line:
struct nh_grp_entry {
struct nexthop * nh; /* 0 8 */
struct nh_grp_entry_stats * stats; /* 8 8 */
u8 weight; /* 16 1 */
/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */
union {
struct {
atomic_t upper_bound; /* 24 4 */
} hthr; /* 24 4 */
struct {
struct list_head uw_nh_entry; /* 24 16 */
u16 count_buckets; /* 40 2 */
u16 wants_buckets; /* 42 2 */
} res; /* 24 24 */
}; /* 24 24 */
struct list_head nh_list; /* 48 16 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
struct nexthop * nh_parent; /* 64 8 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 6 */
/* sum members: 65, holes: 1, sum holes: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */

PATCH v3 4/7 net: nexthop: Expose nexthop group stats to user space
In reply to Petr MachataFrom: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
Add netlink support for reading NH group stats.
This data is only for statistics of the traffic in the SW datapath. HW nexthop group statistics will be added in the following patches.
Emission of the stats is keyed to a new op_stats flag to avoid cluttering the netlink message with stats if the user doesn't need them:NHA_OP_FLAG_DUMP_STATS.
---
Notes:
v3:
- Give a symbolic name to the set of all valid dump flags for the NHA_OP_FLAGS attribute.
- Convert to u64_stats_t
v2:
- Use uint to encode NHA_GROUP_STATS_ENTRY_PACKETS
- Rename jump target in nla_put_nh_group_stats() to avoid having to rename further in the patchset.

PATCH v3 5/7 net: nexthop: Add hardware statistics notifications
In reply to Petr MachataFrom: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
Add hw_stats field to several notifier structures to communicate to the drivers that HW statistics should be configured for nexthops within a given group.

PATCH v3 6/7 net: nexthop: Add ability to enable / disable hardware statistics
In reply to Petr MachataFrom: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
Add netlink support for enabling collection of HW statistics on nexthop groups.

v3:
- Use a named constant for the NHA_HW_STATS_ENABLE policy.

PATCH v3 7/7 net: nexthop: Expose nexthop group HW stats to user space
In reply to Petr MachataFrom: Ido Schimmel <[email protected]>
Add netlink support for reading NH group hardware stats.
Stats collection is done through a new notifier, NEXTHOP_EVENT_HW_STATS_REPORT_DELTA. Drivers that implement HW counters for a given NH group are thereby asked to collect the stats and report back to core by calling nh_grp_hw_stats_report_delta(). This is similar to what netdevice L3 stats do.
Besides exposing number of packets that passed in the HW datapath, also include information on whether any driver actually realizes the counters. The core can tell based on whether it got any _report_delta() reports from the drivers. This allows enabling the statistics at the group at any time, with drivers opting into supporting them. This is also in line with what netdevice L3 stats are doing.
So as not to waste time and space, tie the collection and reporting of HW stats with a new op flag, NHA_OP_FLAG_DUMP_HW_STATS.

Notes:
v2:
- Use uint to encode NHA_GROUP_STATS_ENTRY_PACKETS_HW
- Do not cancel outside of nesting in nla_put_nh_group_stats()
