From 0a51826c6e05c5b6cc423b376b81c311e9e485b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2020 02:37:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] net: dsa: sja1105: Always send through management routes in slot 0 I finally found out how the 4 management route slots are supposed to be used, but.. it's not worth it. The description from the comment I've just deleted in this commit is still true: when more than 1 management slot is active at the same time, the switch will match frames incoming [from the CPU port] on the lowest numbered management slot that matches the frame's DMAC. My issue was that one was not supposed to statically assign each port a slot. Yes, there are 4 slots and also 4 non-CPU ports, but that is a mere coincidence. Instead, the switch can be used like this: every management frame gets a slot at the right of the most recently assigned slot: Send mgmt frame 1 through S0: S0 x x x Send mgmt frame 2 through S1: S0 S1 x x Send mgmt frame 3 through S2: S0 S1 S2 x Send mgmt frame 4 through S3: S0 S1 S2 S3 The difference compared to the old usage is that the transmission of frames 1-4 doesn't need to wait until the completion of the management route. It is safe to use a slot to the right of the most recently used one, because by protocol nobody will program a slot to your left and "steal" your route towards the correct egress port. So there is a potential throughput benefit here. But mgmt frame 5 has no more free slot to use, so it has to wait until _all_ of S0, S1, S2, S3 are full, in order to use S0 again. And that's actually exactly the problem: I was looking for something that would bring more predictable transmission latency, but this is exactly the opposite: 3 out of 4 frames would be transmitted quicker, but the 4th would draw the short straw and have a worse worst-case latency than before. Useless. Things are made even worse by PTP TX timestamping, which is something I won't go deeply into here. Suffice to say that the fact there is a driver-level lock on the SPI bus offsets any potential throughput gains that parallelism might bring. So there's no going back to the multi-slot scheme, remove the "mgmt_slot" variable from sja1105_port and the dummy static assignment made at probe time. While passing by, also remove the assignment to casc_port altogether. Don't pretend that we support cascaded setups.

Its introduction has made the DSA hotpath ever so slightly more inefficient for everybody, since DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->deferred_xmit needs to be initialized to false for every transmitted frame, in order to figure out whether the driver requested deferral or not (a very rare occasion, rare even for the only driver that does use this mechanism: sja1105). That was necessary to avoid kfree_skb from freeing the skb. 2. Because L2 PTP is a link-local protocol like STP, it requires management routes and deferred xmit with this switch. But as opposed to STP, the deferred work mechanism needs to schedule the packet rather quickly for the TX timstamp to be collected in time and sent to user space. But there is no provision for controlling the scheduling priority of this deferred xmit workqueue. Too bad this is a rather specific requirement for a feature that nobody else uses (more below). 3. Perhaps most importantly, it makes the DSA core adhere a bit too much to the NXP company-wide policy "Innovate Where It Doesn't Matter". The sja1105 is probably the only DSA switch that requires some frames sent from the CPU to be routed to the slave port via an out-of-band configuration (register write) rather than in-band (DSA tag). And there are indeed very good reasons to not want to do that: if that out-of-band register is at the other end of a slow bus such as SPI, then you limit that Ethernet flow's throughput to effectively the throughput of the SPI bus. So hardware vendors should definitely not be encouraged to design this way. We do _not_ want more widespread use of this mechanism. Luckily we have a solution for each of the 3 issues: For 1, we can just remove that variable in the skb->cb and counteract the effect of kfree_skb with skb_get, much to the same effect. The advantage, of course, being that anybody who doesn't use deferred xmit doesn't need to do any extra operation in the hotpath. For 2, we can create a kernel thread for each port's deferred xmit work. If the user switch ports are named swp0, swp1, swp2, the kernel threads will be named swp0_xmit, swp1_xmit, swp2_xmit (there appears to be a 15 character length limit on kernel thread names). With this, the user can change the scheduling priority with chrt $(pidof swp2_xmit). For 3, we can actually move the entire implementation to the sja1105 driver. So this patch deletes the generic implementation from the DSA core and adds a new one, more adequate to the requirements of PTP TX timestamping, in sja1105_main.c.
