net/mlx5e: XDP, Inline small packets into the TX MPWQE in XDP xmit flow

2019-04-23T19:09:20+00:00

Upon high packet rate with multiple CPUs TX workloads, much of the HCA's resources are spent on prefetching TX descriptors, thus affecting transmission rates. This patch comes to mitigate this problem by moving some workload to the CPU and reducing the HW data prefetch overhead for small packets (<= 256B). When forwarding packets with XDP, a packet that is smaller than a certain size (set to ~256 bytes) would be sent inline within its WQE TX descrptor (mem-copied), when the hardware tx queue is congested beyond a pre-defined water-mark. This is added to better utilize the HW resources (which now makes one less packet data prefetch) and allow better scalability, on the account of CPU usage (which now 'memcpy's the packet into the WQE). To load balance between HW and CPU and get max packet rate, we use watermarks to detect how much the HW is congested and move the work loads back and forth between HW and CPU. Performance: Tested packet rate for UDP 64Byte multi-stream over two dual port ConnectX-5 100Gbps NICs. CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz * Tested with hyper-threading disabled XDP_TX: | | before | after | | | 24 rings | 51Mpps | 116Mpps | +126% | | 1 ring | 12Mpps | 12Mpps | same | XDP_REDIRECT: ** Below is the transmit rate, not the redirection rate which might be larger, and is not affected by this patch. | | before | after | | | 32 rings | 64Mpps | 92Mpps | +43% | | 1 ring | 6.4Mpps | 6.4Mpps | same | As we can see, feature significantly improves scaling, without hurting single ring performance.

IB/mlx5: Use mlx5 core to create/destroy a DEVX DCT

2019-03-18T00:40:39+00:00

To prevent a hardware memory leak when a DEVX DCT object is destroyed without calling DRAIN DCT before, (e.g. under cleanup flow), need to manage its creation and destruction via mlx5 core. In that case the DRAIN DCT command will be called and only once that it will be completed the DESTROY DCT command will be called. Otherwise, the DESTROY DCT may fail and a hardware leak may occur. As of that change the DRAIN DCT command should not be exposed any more from DEVX, it's managed internally by the driver to work as expected by the device specification.

net/mlx5: Set uid as part of QP commands

Add support to SET_DELAY_DROP command. This command will be used in downstream patches for delay packet drop. The timeout value should be indicated by delay_drop_timeout field. Packet processing will be delayed till timeout value passed or until more WQEs are posted. Setting this value to 0 disables the feature.

Add Innova IPSec ESP crypto offload configuration paths. Detect Innova IPSec device and set the NETIF_F_HW_ESP flag. Configure Security Associations using the API introduced in a previous patch. Add Software-parser hardware descriptor layout Software-Parser (swp) is a hardware feature in ConnectX which allows the host software to specify protocol header offsets in the TX path, thus overriding the hardware parser. This is useful for protocols that the ASIC may not be able to parse on its own. Note that due to inline metadata, XDP is not supported in Innova IPSec.
