Larysa Zaremba says: ==================== XDP metadata via kfuncs for ice + VLAN hint This series introduces XDP hints via kfuncs [0] to the ice driver. Series brings the following existing hints to the ice driver: - HW timestamp - RX hash with type Series also introduces VLAN tag with protocol XDP hint, it now be accessed by XDP and userspace (AF_XDP) programs. They can also be checked with xdp_metadata test and xdp_hw_metadata program. Impact of these patches on ice performance: ZC: * Full hints implementation decreases pps in ZC mode by less than 3% (64B, rxdrop) skb (packets with invalid IP, dropped by stack): * Overall, patchset improves peak performance in skb mode by about 0.5% [0] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230119221536.3349901-1-sdf@google.com/ v7: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20231115175301.534113-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v6: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20231012170524.21085-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ Intermediate RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230927075124.23941-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ Intermediate RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230824192703.712881-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v5: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230811161509.19722-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230728173923.1318596-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230719183734.21681-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230703181226.19380-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230512152607.992209-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com/ Changes since v7: * shorten timestamp assignment in ice * change first argument of ice_fill_rx_descs back to xsk_buff_pool * fix kernel-doc for ice_run_xdp_zc * add missing XSK_CHECK_PRIV_TYPE() in ice * resolved selftests merge conflicts with TX hints * AF_INET patch adds new packet generation, not replaces AF_XDP one * fix destination port in xdp_metadata Changes since v6: * add ability to fill cb of all xdp_buffs in xsk_buff_pool * place just pointer to packet context in ice_xdp_buff * add const qualifiers in veth implementation * generate uapi for VLAN hint Changes since v5: * drop checksum hint from the patchset entirely * Alex's patch that lifts the data_meta size limitation is no longer required in this patchset, so will be sent separately * new patch: hide some ice hints code behind a static key * fix several bugs in ZC mode (ice) * change argument order in VLAN hint kfunc (tci, proto -> proto, tci) * cosmetic changes * analyze performance impact Changes since v4: * Drop the concept of partial checksum from the hint design * Drop the concept of checksum level from the hint design Changes since v3: * use XDP_CHECKSUM_VALID_LVL0 + csum_level instead of csum_level + 1 * fix spelling mistakes * read XDP timestamp unconditionally * add TO_STR() macro Changes since v2: * redesign checksum hint, so now it gives full status * rename vlan_tag -> vlan_tci, where applicable * use open_netns() and close_netns() in xdp_metadata * improve VLAN hint documentation * replace CFI with DEI * use VLAN_VID_MASK in xdp_metadata * make vlan_get_tag() return -ENODATA * remove unused rx_ptype in ice_xsk.c * fix ice timestamp code division between patches Changes since v1: * directly return RX hash, RX timestamp and RX checksum status in skb-common functions * use intermediate enum value for checksum status in ice * get rid of ring structure dependency in ice kfunc implementation * make variables const, when possible, in ice implementation * use -ENODATA instead of -EOPNOTSUPP for driver implementation * instead of having 2 separate functions for c-tag and s-tag, use 1 function that outputs both VLAN tag and protocol ID * improve documentation for introduced hints * update xdp_metadata selftest to test new hints * implement new hints in veth, so they can be tested in xdp_metadata * parse VLAN tag in xdp_hw_metadata ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231205210847.28460-1-larysa.zaremba@intel.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
