memory-provider: disable building dmabuf mp on !CONFIG_PAGE_POOL

2024-09-13T18:41:45+00:00

When CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y but CONFIG_PAGE_POOL=n, we end up with this build failure that is reported by the 0-day bot: ld: vmlinux.o: in function `mp_dmabuf_devmem_alloc_netmems': >> (.text+0xc37286): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_page_pool_state_hold' >> ld: (.text+0xc3729a): undefined reference to `__SCT__tp_func_page_pool_state_hold' >> ld: vmlinux.o:(__jump_table+0x10c48): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_page_pool_state_hold' >> ld: vmlinux.o:(.static_call_sites+0xb824): undefined reference to `__SCK__tp_func_page_pool_state_hold' The root cause is that in this configuration, traces are enabled but the page_pool specific trace_page_pool_state_hold is not registered. There is no reason to build the dmabuf memory provider when CONFIG_PAGE_POOL is not present, as it's really a provider to the page_pool. In fact the whole NET_DEVMEM is RX path-only at the moment, so we can make the entire config dependent on the PAGE_POOL. Note that this may need to be revisited after/while devmem TX is added, as devmem TX likely does not need CONFIG_PAGE_POOL. For now this build fix is sufficient.

netdev: support binding dma-buf to netdevice

2024-09-12T03:44:31+00:00

Add a netdev_dmabuf_binding struct which represents the dma-buf-to-netdevice binding. The netlink API will bind the dma-buf to rx queues on the netdevice. On the binding, the dma_buf_attach & dma_buf_map_attachment will occur. The entries in the sg_table from mapping will be inserted into a genpool to make it ready for allocation. The chunks in the genpool are owned by a dmabuf_chunk_owner struct which holds the dma-buf offset of the base of the chunk and the dma_addr of the chunk. Both are needed to use allocations that come from this chunk. We create a new type that represents an allocation from the genpool: net_iov. We setup the net_iov allocation size in the genpool to PAGE_SIZE for simplicity: to match the PAGE_SIZE normally allocated by the page pool and given to the drivers. The user can unbind the dmabuf from the netdevice by closing the netlink socket that established the binding. We do this so that the binding is automatically unbound even if the userspace process crashes. The binding and unbinding leaves an indicator in struct netdev_rx_queue that the given queue is bound, and the binding is actuated by resetting the rx queue using the queue API. The netdev_dmabuf_binding struct is refcounted, and releases its resources only when all the refs are released.

ethtool: provide customized dim profile management

2024-06-26T00:15:06+00:00

The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly in their dim profile list prerequisites. Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical. On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in parameter configuration. I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities. Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters. Usage ======== The target NIC is named ethx. Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting (with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification of usec and pkt fields. 1. Query the currently customized list of the device $ ethtool -c ethx ... rx-profile: {.usec = 1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,} tx-profile: n/a 2. Tune $ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n "n" means do not modify this field. $ ethtool -c ethx ... rx-profile: {.usec = 1, .pkts = 1, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 3, .pkts = 3, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 4, .pkts = 4, .comps = n/a,}, {.usec = 256, .pkts = 5, .comps = n/a,} tx-profile: n/a 3. Hint If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles, the corresponding "n/a" will display. If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.

net: allow rps/rfs related configs to be switched

2024-06-06T11:18:48+00:00

After John Sperbeck reported a compile error if the CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL is off, I found that I cannot easily enable/disable the config because of lack of the prompt when using 'make menuconfig'. Therefore, I decided to change rps/rfc related configs altogether.

net: add IEEE 802.1q specific helpers

IEEE 802.1q specification provides recommendation and examples which can be used as good default values for different drivers. This patch implements mapping examples documented in IEEE 802.1Q-2022 in Annex I "I.3 Traffic type to traffic class mapping" and IETF DSCP naming and mapping DSCP to Traffic Type inspired by RFC8325. This helpers will be used in followup patches for dsa/microchip DCB implementation. Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

2024-02-18T10:19:21+00:00

It is impossible to disable BQL individually today, since there is no prompt for the Kconfig entry, so, the BQL is always enabled if SYSFS is enabled. Create a prompt entry for BQL, so, it could be enabled or disabled at build time independently of SYSFS. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bpfilter: remove bpfilter

2024-01-04T18:23:10+00:00

bpfilter was supposed to convert iptables filtering rules into BPF programs on the fly, from the kernel, through a usermode helper. The base code for the UMH was introduced in 2018, and couple of attempts (2, 3) tried to introduce the BPF program generate features but were abandoned. bpfilter now sits in a kernel tree unused and unusable, occasionally causing confusion amongst Linux users (4, 5). As bpfilter is now developed in a dedicated repository on GitHub (6), it was suggested a couple of times this year (LSFMM/BPF 2023, LPC 2023) to remove the deprecated kernel part of the project. This is the purpose of this patch.

net: add skb_segment kunit test

2023-10-11T09:39:01+00:00

Add unit testing for skb segment. This function is exercised by many different code paths, such as GSO_PARTIAL or GSO_BY_FRAGS, linear (with or without head_frag), frags or frag_list skbs, etc. It is infeasible to manually run tests that cover all code paths when making changes. The long and complex function also makes it hard to establish through analysis alone that a patch has no unintended side-effects. Add code coverage through kunit regression testing. Introduce kunit infrastructure for tests under net/core, and add this first test. This first skb_segment test exercises a simple case: a linear skb. Follow-on patches will parametrize the test and add more variants.
