Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Allow setting bluetooth L2CAP modes via socket option, from Luiz
Augusto von Dentz.
2) Add GSO partial support to igc, from Sasha Neftin.
3) Several cleanups and improvements to r8169 from Heiner Kallweit.
4) Add IF_OPER_TESTING link state and use it when ethtool triggers a
device self-test. From Andrew Lunn.
5) Start moving away from custom driver versions, use the globally
defined kernel version instead, from Leon Romanovsky.
6) Support GRO vis gro_cells in DSA layer, from Alexander Lobakin.
7) Allow hard IRQ deferral during NAPI, from Eric Dumazet.
8) Add sriov and vf support to hinic, from Luo bin.
9) Support Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) in the bridging code, from
Horatiu Vultur.
10) Support netmap in the nft_nat code, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.
11) Allow UDPv6 encapsulation of ESP in the ipsec code, from Sabrina
Dubroca. Also add ipv6 support for espintcp.
12) Lots of ReST conversions of the networking documentation, from Mauro
Carvalho Chehab.
13) Support configuration of ethtool rxnfc flows in bcmgenet driver,
from Doug Berger.
14) Allow to dump cgroup id and filter by it in inet_diag code, from
Dmitry Yakunin.
15) Add infrastructure to export netlink attribute policies to
userspace, from Johannes Berg.
16) Several optimizations to sch_fq scheduler, from Eric Dumazet.
17) Fallback to the default qdisc if qdisc init fails because otherwise
a packet scheduler init failure will make a device inoperative. From
Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
18) Several RISCV bpf jit optimizations, from Luke Nelson.
19) Correct the return type of the ->ndo_start_xmit() method in several
drivers, it's netdev_tx_t but many drivers were using
'int'. From Yunjian Wang.
20) Add an ethtool interface for PHY master/slave config, from Oleksij
Rempel.
21) Add BPF iterators, from Yonghang Song.
22) Add cable test infrastructure, including ethool interfaces, from
Andrew Lunn. Marvell PHY driver is the first to support this
facility.
23) Remove zero-length arrays all over, from Gustavo A. R. Silva.
24) Calculate and maintain an explicit frame size in XDP, from Jesper
Dangaard Brouer.
25) Add CAP_BPF, from Alexei Starovoitov.
26) Support terse dumps in the packet scheduler, from Vlad Buslov.
27) Support XDP_TX bulking in dpaa2 driver, from Ioana Ciornei.
28) Add devm_register_netdev(), from Bartosz Golaszewski.
29) Minimize qdisc resets, from Cong Wang.
30) Get rid of kernel_getsockopt and kernel_setsockopt in order to
eliminate set_fs/get_fs calls. From Christoph Hellwig.

Both can be +also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering +problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel +counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution +would solve the second problem automatically. + +Semantics and APIs +------------------ + +Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of +type ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF``. Two other alternatives considered, but +ultimately rejected. + +One way would be to, similar to ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY``, make +``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF`` could represent an array of ring buffers, but not +enforce "same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible +with existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more +advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key. +``BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS`` addresses this with current approach. +Additionally, given the performance of BPF ringbuf, many use cases would just +opt into a simple single ring buffer shared among all CPUs, for which current +approach would be an overkill. + +Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to represent +generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value interface +with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot of extra +infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier support. It +would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to familiarize +themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really provide no +additional benefits over the approach of using a map. ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF`` +doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so doesn't few other map +types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support delete, etc). + +The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map +infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being +familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program), +and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using a single +ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as would be with +a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being a map, it can be +combined with ``ARRAY_OF_MAPS`` and ``HASH_OF_MAPS`` map-in-maps to implement +a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU (e.g., as +a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated application +hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of ring buffers +with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order, but reduce +contention). + +Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. ``max_entries`` is used to specify +the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value. + +There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer +(``BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY``) and new BPF ring buffer semantics: + +- variable-length records; +- if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no + blocking; +- memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of + consumption and high performance; +- epoll notifications for new incoming data; +- but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the + lowest latency, if necessary. + +BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs: + +- ``bpf_ringbuf_output()`` allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring + buffer, similarly to ``bpf_perf_event_output()``; +- ``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()``/``bpf_ringbuf_commit()``/``bpf_ringbuf_discard()`` + APIs split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space + is reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data + area is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside + array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or + discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the + record. + +``bpf_ringbuf_output()`` has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy, +because record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to +submit records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also +closely matches ``bpf_perf_event_output()``, so will simplify migration +significantly. + +``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()`` avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory +pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger +than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as +a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs +completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to +be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access memory +outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly slower +due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable for +``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()``. + +The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks +a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer +code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring +all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary +``malloc()``/``free()`` within single BPF program invocation. + +Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing +reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus +impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it. + +``bpf_ringbuf_query()`` helper allows to query various properties of ring +buffer. Currently 4 are supported: + +- ``BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA`` returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer; +- ``BPF_RB_RING_SIZE`` returns the size of ring buffer; +- ``BPF_RB_CONS_POS``/``BPF_RB_PROD_POS`` returns current logical possition + of consumer/producer, respectively. + +Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be +off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for +debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take +into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics. + +One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll +notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with +``BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP``/``BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP`` flags for output/commit/discard +helpers, it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more +efficient batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though, +should be adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently +already. + +Design and Implementation +------------------------- + +This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either +on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve +independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This +means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the +same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is +enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This +applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during +reservation, in NMI context, ``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()`` might fail to get +a lock, in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full. + +The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized +circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might +wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem): + +- consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the + data; +- producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers. + +Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will +successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet +ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains the +length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote that +record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at commit +time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed to skip +the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes record's +relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in pages). This +allows ``bpf_ringbuf_commit()``/``bpf_ringbuf_discard()`` to accept only the +pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring buffer +itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record metadata +header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving API +usability. + +Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is +a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are +completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer +in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where +already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold +off submitted records, that were reserved later. + +Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in +Documentation/litmus_tests/bpf-rb/_. + +One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus +speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data +area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This +allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around +at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the +last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still +appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII +diagram showing this visually in ``bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc()``. + +Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is +a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability. +``bpf_ringbuf_commit()`` implementation will send a notification of new record +being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up to +the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus +will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification. +Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c_) show that +this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to +tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf +buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of +notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept ``BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP`` and +``BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP`` flags, which give full control over notifications of +data availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API. diff --git a/Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst b/Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst index 61ae13c44f91..5d1f56fcd2e7 100644 --- a/Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst +++ b/Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst @@ -301,7 +301,8 @@ Helpers .. kernel-doc:: tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_harness.h :functions: TH_LOG TEST TEST_SIGNAL FIXTURE FIXTURE_DATA FIXTURE_SETUP - FIXTURE_TEARDOWN TEST_F TEST_HARNESS_MAIN + FIXTURE_TEARDOWN TEST_F TEST_HARNESS_MAIN FIXTURE_VARIANT + FIXTURE_VARIANT_ADD Operators --------- diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.txt deleted file mode 100644 index ecf027a9003a..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,36 +0,0 @@ -Mediatek pericfg controller -=========================== - -The Mediatek pericfg controller provides various clocks and reset -outputs to the system. - -Required Properties: - -- compatible: Should be one of: - - "mediatek,mt2701-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt2712-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt7622-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt7623-pericfg", "mediatek,mt2701-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt7629-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt8135-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt8173-pericfg", "syscon" - - "mediatek,mt8183-pericfg", "syscon" -- #clock-cells: Must be 1 -- #reset-cells: Must be 1 - -The pericfg controller uses the common clk binding from -Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt -The available clocks are defined in dt-bindings/clock/mt*-clk.h. -Also it uses the common reset controller binding from -Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/reset.txt. -The available reset outputs are defined in -dt-bindings/reset/mt*-resets.h - -Example: - -pericfg: power-controller@10003000 { - compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-pericfg", "syscon"; - reg = <0 0x10003000 0 0x1000>; - #clock-cells = <1>; - #reset-cells = <1>; -}; diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.yaml new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..55209a2baedc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,64 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause) +%YAML 1.2 +--- +$id: "http://devicetree.org/schemas/arm/mediatek/mediatek,pericfg.yaml#" +$schema: "http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/core.yaml#" + +title: MediaTek Peripheral Configuration Controller + +maintainers: + - Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com> + +description: + The Mediatek pericfg controller provides various clocks and reset outputs + to the system. + +properties: + compatible: + oneOf: + - items: + - enum: + - mediatek,mt2701-pericfg + - mediatek,mt2712-pericfg + - mediatek,mt7622-pericfg + - mediatek,mt7629-pericfg + - mediatek,mt8135-pericfg + - mediatek,mt8173-pericfg + - mediatek,mt8183-pericfg + - mediatek,mt8516-pericfg + - const: syscon + - items: + # Special case for mt7623 for backward compatibility + - const: mediatek,mt7623-pericfg + - const: mediatek,mt2701-pericfg + - const: syscon + + reg: + maxItems: 1 + + '#clock-cells': + const: 1 + + '#reset-cells': + const: 1 + +required: + - compatible + - reg + +examples: + - | + pericfg@10003000 { + compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-pericfg", "syscon"; + reg = <0x10003000 0x1000>; + #clock-cells = <1>; + #reset-cells = <1>; + }; + + - | + pericfg@10003000 { + compatible = "mediatek,mt7623-pericfg", "mediatek,mt2701-pericfg", "syscon"; + reg = <0x10003000 0x1000>; + #clock-cells = <1>; + #reset-cells = <1>; + }; diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/amlogic,meson-dwmac.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/amlogic,meson-dwmac.yaml index ae91aa9d8616..64c20c92c07d 100644 --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/amlogic,meson-dwmac.yaml +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/amlogic,meson-dwmac.yaml @@ -40,18 +40,22 @@ allOf: then: properties: clocks: + minItems: 3 + maxItems: 4 items: - description: GMAC main clock - description: First parent clock of the internal mux - description: Second parent clock of the internal mux + - description: The clock which drives the timing adjustment logic clock-names: minItems: 3 - maxItems: 3 + maxItems: 4 items: - const: stmmaceth - const: clkin0 - const: clkin1 + - const: timing-adjustment amlogic,tx-delay-ns: $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#definitions/uint32 @@ -67,6 +71,19 @@ allOf: PHY and MAC are adding a delay).

What is 6pack, and what are the advantages to KISS? +====================================================== 6pack is a transmission protocol for data exchange between the PC and the TNC over a serial line. It can be used as an alternative to KISS. 6pack has two major advantages: + - The PC is given full control over the radio channel. Special control data is exchanged between the PC and the TNC so that the PC knows at any time if the TNC is receiving data, if a TNC buffer underrun or overrun has occurred, if the PTT is set and so on. This control data is processed at a higher priority than normal data, so a data stream can be interrupted at any time to issue an - important event. This helps to improve the channel access and timing - algorithms as everything is computed in the PC.

Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever + you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel + configuration. Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers" + and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver. Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard + networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support. + +2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c. Make sure + to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used + by isapnp to access your PnP cards. This is the value of READPORT in + /etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump. + +3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual. + +4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures. + +5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output + of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports, + IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards. Make sure none of the settings + conflict with one another. Then test this configuration by running the + "isapnp" command with your new config file as the input. Check for + errors and fix as necessary. (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and + 0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me. YMMV.) + Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper + configuration on subsequent reboots. + +6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of + the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory + and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``. + Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built + and ready for installation, not just cmconfig. + +7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's + tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are + already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name, + phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets + to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information + you need. + +8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of + the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to + convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands: + + http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/ + + You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different + firewalling scheme. + +9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be + root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute + frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you + connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a + driver message like this at the console:: + + cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11. + sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net) + + The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0. + + The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem + interface. + +10.

Be careful + out there.... + +7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while + (and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)! + +Solution + You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the + SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate + of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's + sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll + want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY' + define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones) + and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with: + '-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try + it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may + try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the + driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively + used).

Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while -(and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)! - -Solution -- You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the -SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate -of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's -sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll -want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY' -define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones) -and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with: -'-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do `make' and as root `make install' and try -it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may -try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the -driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively -used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -Credits: This README came from Franco Venturi's original README file which is -still supplied with his driver .tar.gz archive. I and all other sb1000 users -owe Franco a tremendous "Thank you!" Additional thanks goes to Carl Patten -and Ralph Bonnell who are now managing the Linux SB1000 web site, and to -the SB1000 users who reported and helped debug the common problems listed -above. - - - Clemmitt Sigler - csigler@vt.edu diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/smsc/smc9.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/smsc/smc9.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e5eac896a631 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/smsc/smc9.rst @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +..

This means it can be used to perform +tight timing-based admission control for up to 1024 flows (identified by a +tuple composed of destination MAC address, VLAN ID and VLAN PCP). Packets which +are received outside their expected reception window are dropped. + +This capability can be managed through the offload of the tc-gate action. As +routing actions are intrinsic to virtual links in TTEthernet (which performs +explicit routing of time-critical traffic and does not leave that in the hands +of the FDB, flooding etc), the tc-gate action may never appear alone when +asking sja1105 to offload it. One (or more) redirect or trap actions must also +follow along. + +Example: create a tc-taprio schedule that is phase-aligned with a tc-gate +schedule (the clocks must be synchronized by a 1588 application stack, which is +outside the scope of this document). No packet delivered by the sender will be +dropped.

This can be done by mapping the +allocated RX and TX buffer ring with a single mmap() call. +See "Mapping and use of the circular buffer (ring)". + +Next I will describe PACKET_MMAP settings and its constraints, +also the mapping of the circular buffer in the user process and +the use of this buffer. + +How to use mmap() directly to improve transmission process +========================================================== +Transmission process is similar to capture as shown below:: + + [setup] socket() -------> creation of the transmission socket + setsockopt() ---> allocation of the circular buffer (ring) + option: PACKET_TX_RING + bind() ---------> bind transmission socket with a network interface + mmap() ---------> mapping of the allocated buffer to the + user process + + [transmission] poll() ---------> wait for free packets (optional) + send() ---------> send all packets that are set as ready in + the ring + The flag MSG_DONTWAIT can be used to return + before end of transfer. + + [shutdown] close() --------> destruction of the transmission socket and + deallocation of all associated resources. + +Socket creation and destruction is also straight forward, and is done +the same way as in capturing described in the previous paragraph:: + + int fd = socket(PF_PACKET, mode, 0); + +The protocol can optionally be 0 in case we only want to transmit +via this socket, which avoids an expensive call to packet_rcv(). +In this case, you also need to bind(2) the TX_RING with sll_protocol = 0 +set. Otherwise, htons(ETH_P_ALL) or any other protocol, for example. + +Binding the socket to your network interface is mandatory (with zero copy) to +know the header size of frames used in the circular buffer. + +As capture, each frame contains two parts:: + + -------------------- + | struct tpacket_hdr | Header.

Data that will be sent over the network interface. + . . + -------------------- + + bind() associates the socket to your network interface thanks to + sll_ifindex parameter of struct sockaddr_ll. + + Initialization example:: + + struct sockaddr_ll my_addr; + struct ifreq s_ifr; + ... + + strncpy (s_ifr.ifr_name, "eth0", sizeof(s_ifr.ifr_name)); + + /* get interface index of eth0 */ + ioctl(this->socket, SIOCGIFINDEX, &s_ifr); + + /* fill sockaddr_ll struct to prepare binding */ + my_addr.sll_family = AF_PACKET; + my_addr.sll_protocol = htons(ETH_P_ALL); + my_addr.sll_ifindex = s_ifr.ifr_ifindex; + + /* bind socket to eth0 */ + bind(this->socket, (struct sockaddr *)&my_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_ll)); + + A complete tutorial is available at: https://sites.google.com/site/packetmmap/ + +By default, the user should put data at:: + + frame base + TPACKET_HDRLEN - sizeof(struct sockaddr_ll) + +So, whatever you choose for the socket mode (SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_RAW), +the beginning of the user data will be at:: + + frame base + TPACKET_ALIGN(sizeof(struct tpacket_hdr)) + +If you wish to put user data at a custom offset from the beginning of +the frame (for payload alignment with SOCK_RAW mode for instance) you +can set tp_net (with SOCK_DGRAM) or tp_mac (with SOCK_RAW). In order +to make this work it must be enabled previously with setsockopt() +and the PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF option. + +PACKET_MMAP settings +==================== + +To setup PACKET_MMAP from user level code is done with a call like + + - Capture process:: + + setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_RX_RING, (void *) &req, sizeof(req)) + + - Transmission process:: + + setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, (void *) &req, sizeof(req)) + +The most significant argument in the previous call is the req parameter, +this parameter must to have the following structure:: + + struct tpacket_req + { + unsigned int tp_block_size; /* Minimal size of contiguous block */ + unsigned int tp_block_nr; /* Number of blocks */ + unsigned int tp_frame_size; /* Size of frame */ + unsigned int tp_frame_nr; /* Total number of frames */ + }; + +This structure is defined in /usr/include/linux/if_packet.h and establishes a +circular buffer (ring) of unswappable memory. +Being mapped in the capture process allows reading the captured frames and +related meta-information like timestamps without requiring a system call. + +Frames are grouped in blocks. Each block is a physically contiguous +region of memory and holds tp_block_size/tp_frame_size frames. The total number +of blocks is tp_block_nr. Note that tp_frame_nr is a redundant parameter because:: + + frames_per_block = tp_block_size/tp_frame_size + +indeed, packet_set_ring checks that the following condition is true:: + + frames_per_block * tp_block_nr == tp_frame_nr + +Lets see an example, with the following values:: + + tp_block_size= 4096 + tp_frame_size= 2048 + tp_block_nr = 4 + tp_frame_nr = 8 + +we will get the following buffer structure:: + + block #1 block #2 + +---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ + | frame 1 | frame 2 | | frame 3 | frame 4 | + +---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ + + block #3 block #4 + +---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ + | frame 5 | frame 6 | | frame 7 | frame 8 | + +---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ + +A frame can be of any size with the only condition it can fit in a block. A block +can only hold an integer number of frames, or in other words, a frame cannot +be spawned across two blocks, so there are some details you have to take into +account when choosing the frame_size. See "Mapping and use of the circular +buffer (ring)". + +PACKET_MMAP setting constraints +=============================== + +In kernel versions prior to 2.4.26 (for the 2.4 branch) and 2.6.5 (2.6 branch), +the PACKET_MMAP buffer could hold only 32768 frames in a 32 bit architecture or +16384 in a 64 bit architecture. For information on these kernel versions +see http://pusa.uv.es/~ulisses/packet_mmap/packet_mmap.pre-2.4.26_2.6.5.txt + +Block size limit +---------------- + +As stated earlier, each block is a contiguous physical region of memory. These +memory regions are allocated with calls to the __get_free_pages() function. As +the name indicates, this function allocates pages of memory, and the second +argument is "order" or a power of two number of pages, that is +(for PAGE_SIZE == 4096) order=0 ==> 4096 bytes, order=1 ==> 8192 bytes, +order=2 ==> 16384 bytes, etc. The maximum size of a +region allocated by __get_free_pages is determined by the MAX_ORDER macro. More +precisely the limit can be calculated as:: + + PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER + + In a i386 architecture PAGE_SIZE is 4096 bytes + In a 2.4/i386 kernel MAX_ORDER is 10 + In a 2.6/i386 kernel MAX_ORDER is 11 + +So get_free_pages can allocate as much as 4MB or 8MB in a 2.4/2.6 kernel +respectively, with an i386 architecture. + +User space programs can include /usr/include/sys/user.h and +/usr/include/linux/mmzone.h to get PAGE_SIZE MAX_ORDER declarations. + +The pagesize can also be determined dynamically with the getpagesize (2) +system call. + +Block number limit +------------------ + +To understand the constraints of PACKET_MMAP, we have to see the structure +used to hold the pointers to each block. + +Currently, this structure is a dynamically allocated vector with kmalloc +called pg_vec, its size limits the number of blocks that can be allocated:: + + +---+---+---+---+ + | x | x | x | x | + +---+---+---+---+ + | | | | + | | | v + | | v block #4 + | v block #3 + v block #2 + block #1 + +kmalloc allocates any number of bytes of physically contiguous memory from +a pool of pre-determined sizes. This pool of memory is maintained by the slab +allocator which is at the end the responsible for doing the allocation and +hence which imposes the maximum memory that kmalloc can allocate. + +In a 2.4/2.6 kernel and the i386 architecture, the limit is 131072 bytes. The +predetermined sizes that kmalloc uses can be checked in the "size-<bytes>" +entries of /proc/slabinfo + +In a 32 bit architecture, pointers are 4 bytes long, so the total number of +pointers to blocks is:: + + 131072/4 = 32768 blocks + +PACKET_MMAP buffer size calculator +================================== + +Definitions: + +============== ================================================================ +<size-max> is the maximum size of allocable with kmalloc + (see /proc/slabinfo) +<pointer size> depends on the architecture -- ``sizeof(void *)`` +<page size> depends on the architecture -- PAGE_SIZE or getpagesize (2) +<max-order> is the value defined with MAX_ORDER +<frame size> it's an upper bound of frame's capture size (more on this later) +============== ================================================================ + +from these definitions we will derive:: + + <block number> = <size-max>/<pointer size> + <block size> = <pagesize> << <max-order> + +so, the max buffer size is:: + + <block number> * <block size> + +and, the number of frames be:: + + <block number> * <block size> / <frame size> + +Suppose the following parameters, which apply for 2.6 kernel and an +i386 architecture:: + + <size-max> = 131072 bytes + <pointer size> = 4 bytes + <pagesize> = 4096 bytes + <max-order> = 11 + +and a value for <frame size> of 2048 bytes. These parameters will yield:: + + <block number> = 131072/4 = 32768 blocks + <block size> = 4096 << 11 = 8 MiB. + +and hence the buffer will have a 262144 MiB size. So it can hold +262144 MiB / 2048 bytes = 134217728 frames + +Actually, this buffer size is not possible with an i386 architecture. +Remember that the memory is allocated in kernel space, in the case of +an i386 kernel's memory size is limited to 1GiB. + +All memory allocations are not freed until the socket is closed. The memory +allocations are done with GFP_KERNEL priority, this basically means that +the allocation can wait and swap other process' memory in order to allocate +the necessary memory, so normally limits can be reached. + +Other constraints +----------------- + +If you check the source code you will see that what I draw here as a frame +is not only the link level frame. At the beginning of each frame there is a +header called struct tpacket_hdr used in PACKET_MMAP to hold link level's frame +meta information like timestamp. So what we draw here a frame it's really +the following (from include/linux/if_packet.h):: + + /* + Frame structure: + + - Start. Frame must be aligned to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 + - struct tpacket_hdr + - pad to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 + - struct sockaddr_ll + - Gap, chosen so that packet data (Start+tp_net) aligns to + TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 + - Start+tp_mac: [ Optional MAC header ] + - Start+tp_net: Packet data, aligned to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16. + - Pad to align to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 + */ + +The following are conditions that are checked in packet_set_ring + + - tp_block_size must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE (1) + - tp_frame_size must be greater than TPACKET_HDRLEN (obvious) + - tp_frame_size must be a multiple of TPACKET_ALIGNMENT + - tp_frame_nr must be exactly frames_per_block*tp_block_nr + +Note that tp_block_size should be chosen to be a power of two or there will +be a waste of memory. + +Mapping and use of the circular buffer (ring) +--------------------------------------------- + +The mapping of the buffer in the user process is done with the conventional +mmap function. Even the circular buffer is compound of several physically +discontiguous blocks of memory, they are contiguous to the user space, hence +just one call to mmap is needed:: + + mmap(0, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); + +If tp_frame_size is a divisor of tp_block_size frames will be +contiguously spaced by tp_frame_size bytes. If not, each +tp_block_size/tp_frame_size frames there will be a gap between +the frames. This is because a frame cannot be spawn across two +blocks. + +To use one socket for capture and transmission, the mapping of both the +RX and TX buffer ring has to be done with one call to mmap:: + + ... + setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_RX_RING, &foo, sizeof(foo)); + setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, &bar, sizeof(bar)); + ... + rx_ring = mmap(0, size * 2, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); + tx_ring = rx_ring + size; + +RX must be the first as the kernel maps the TX ring memory right +after the RX one. + +At the beginning of each frame there is an status field (see +struct tpacket_hdr). If this field is 0 means that the frame is ready +to be used for the kernel, If not, there is a frame the user can read +and the following flags apply: + +Capture process +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + from include/linux/if_packet.h + + #define TP_STATUS_COPY (1 << 1) + #define TP_STATUS_LOSING (1 << 2) + #define TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY (1 << 3) + #define TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID (1 << 7) + +====================== ======================================================= +TP_STATUS_COPY This flag indicates that the frame (and associated + meta information) has been truncated because it's + larger than tp_frame_size. This packet can be + read entirely with recvfrom(). + + In order to make this work it must to be + enabled previously with setsockopt() and + the PACKET_COPY_THRESH option. + + The number of frames that can be buffered to + be read with recvfrom is limited like a normal socket. + See the SO_RCVBUF option in the socket (7) man page. + +TP_STATUS_LOSING indicates there were packet drops from last time + statistics where checked with getsockopt() and + the PACKET_STATISTICS option. + +TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY currently it's used for outgoing IP packets which + its checksum will be done in hardware. So while + reading the packet we should not try to check the + checksum. + +TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID This flag indicates that at least the transport + header checksum of the packet has been already + validated on the kernel side. If the flag is not set + then we are free to check the checksum by ourselves + provided that TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY is also not set. +====================== ======================================================= + +for convenience there are also the following defines:: + + #define TP_STATUS_KERNEL 0 + #define TP_STATUS_USER 1 + +The kernel initializes all frames to TP_STATUS_KERNEL, when the kernel +receives a packet it puts in the buffer and updates the status with +at least the TP_STATUS_USER flag. Then the user can read the packet, +once the packet is read the user must zero the status field, so the kernel +can use again that frame buffer. + +The user can use poll (any other variant should apply too) to check if new +packets are in the ring:: + + struct pollfd pfd; + + pfd.fd = fd; + pfd.revents = 0; + pfd.events = POLLIN|POLLRDNORM|POLLERR; + + if (status == TP_STATUS_KERNEL) + retval = poll(&pfd, 1, timeout); + +It doesn't incur in a race condition to first check the status value and +then poll for frames. + +Transmission process +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Those defines are also used for transmission:: + + #define TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE 0 // Frame is available + #define TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST 1 // Frame will be sent on next send() + #define TP_STATUS_SENDING 2 // Frame is currently in transmission + #define TP_STATUS_WRONG_FORMAT 4 // Frame format is not correct + +First, the kernel initializes all frames to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE. To send a +packet, the user fills a data buffer of an available frame, sets tp_len to +current data buffer size and sets its status field to TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST. +This can be done on multiple frames. Once the user is ready to transmit, it +calls send(). Then all buffers with status equal to TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST are +forwarded to the network device.

+ setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, &one, sizeof(one)); + +This has the side-effect, that packets sent through PF_PACKET will bypass the +kernel's qdisc layer and are forcedly pushed to the driver directly. Meaning, +packet are not buffered, tc disciplines are ignored, increased loss can occur +and such packets are also not visible to other PF_PACKET sockets anymore. So, +you have been warned; generally, this can be useful for stress testing various +components of a system. + +On default, PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS is disabled and needs to be explicitly enabled +on PF_PACKET sockets. + +PACKET_TIMESTAMP +================ + +The PACKET_TIMESTAMP setting determines the source of the timestamp in +the packet meta information for mmap(2)ed RX_RING and TX_RINGs. If your +NIC is capable of timestamping packets in hardware, you can request those +hardware timestamps to be used. Note: you may need to enable the generation +of hardware timestamps with SIOCSHWTSTAMP (see related information from +Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst). + +PACKET_TIMESTAMP accepts the same integer bit field as SO_TIMESTAMPING:: + + int req = SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE; + setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TIMESTAMP, (void *) &req, sizeof(req)) + +For the mmap(2)ed ring buffers, such timestamps are stored in the +``tpacket{,2,3}_hdr`` structure's tp_sec and ``tp_{n,u}sec`` members. +To determine what kind of timestamp has been reported, the tp_status field +is binary or'ed with the following possible bits ... + +:: + + TP_STATUS_TS_RAW_HARDWARE + TP_STATUS_TS_SOFTWARE + +... that are equivalent to its ``SOF_TIMESTAMPING_*`` counterparts. For the +RX_RING, if neither is set (i.e. PACKET_TIMESTAMP is not set), then a +software fallback was invoked *within* PF_PACKET's processing code (less +precise). + +Getting timestamps for the TX_RING works as follows: i) fill the ring frames, +ii) call sendto() e.g. in blocking mode, iii) wait for status of relevant +frames to be updated resp. the frame handed over to the application, iv) walk +through the frames to pick up the individual hw/sw timestamps. + +Only (!) if transmit timestamping is enabled, then these bits are combined +with binary | with TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE, so you must check for that in your +application (e.g. !(tp_status & (TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST | TP_STATUS_SENDING)) +in a first step to see if the frame belongs to the application, and then +one can extract the type of timestamp in a second step from tp_status)! + +If you don't care about them, thus having it disabled, checking for +TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE resp. TP_STATUS_WRONG_FORMAT is sufficient. If in the +TX_RING part only TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE is set, then the tp_sec and tp_{n,u}sec +members do not contain a valid value. For TX_RINGs, by default no timestamp +is generated! + +See include/linux/net_tstamp.h and Documentation/networking/timestamping.rst +for more information on hardware timestamps. + +Miscellaneous bits +================== + +- Packet sockets work well together with Linux socket filters, thus you also + might want to have a look at Documentation/networking/filter.rst + +THANKS +====== + + Jesse Brandeburg, for fixing my grammathical/spelling errors diff --git a/Documentation/networking/packet_mmap.txt b/Documentation/networking/packet_mmap.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 999eb41da81d..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/networking/packet_mmap.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1061 +0,0 @@ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ ABSTRACT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -This file documents the mmap() facility available with the PACKET -socket interface on 2.4/2.6/3.x kernels. This type of sockets is used for -i) capture network traffic with utilities like tcpdump, ii) transmit network -traffic, or any other that needs raw access to network interface. - -Howto can be found at: - https://sites.google.com/site/packetmmap/ - -Please send your comments to - Ulisses Alonso Camaró <uaca@i.hate.spam.alumni.uv.es> - Johann Baudy - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ Why use PACKET_MMAP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -In Linux 2.4/2.6/3.x if PACKET_MMAP is not enabled, the capture process is very -inefficient. It uses very limited buffers and requires one system call to -capture each packet, it requires two if you want to get packet's timestamp -(like libpcap always does). - -In the other hand PACKET_MMAP is very efficient. PACKET_MMAP provides a size -configurable circular buffer mapped in user space that can be used to either -send or receive packets. This way reading packets just needs to wait for them, -most of the time there is no need to issue a single system call. Concerning -transmission, multiple packets can be sent through one system call to get the -highest bandwidth. By using a shared buffer between the kernel and the user -also has the benefit of minimizing packet copies. - -It's fine to use PACKET_MMAP to improve the performance of the capture and -transmission process, but it isn't everything. At least, if you are capturing -at high speeds (this is relative to the cpu speed), you should check if the -device driver of your network interface card supports some sort of interrupt -load mitigation or (even better) if it supports NAPI, also make sure it is -enabled. For transmission, check the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) used and -supported by devices of your network. CPU IRQ pinning of your network interface -card can also be an advantage. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ How to use mmap() to improve capture process --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -From the user standpoint, you should use the higher level libpcap library, which -is a de facto standard, portable across nearly all operating systems -including Win32. - -Packet MMAP support was integrated into libpcap around the time of version 1.3.0; -TPACKET_V3 support was added in version 1.5.0 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ How to use mmap() directly to improve capture process --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -From the system calls stand point, the use of PACKET_MMAP involves -the following process: - - -[setup] socket() -------> creation of the capture socket - setsockopt() ---> allocation of the circular buffer (ring) - option: PACKET_RX_RING - mmap() ---------> mapping of the allocated buffer to the - user process - -[capture] poll() ---------> to wait for incoming packets - -[shutdown] close() --------> destruction of the capture socket and - deallocation of all associated - resources. - - -socket creation and destruction is straight forward, and is done -the same way with or without PACKET_MMAP: - - int fd = socket(PF_PACKET, mode, htons(ETH_P_ALL)); - -where mode is SOCK_RAW for the raw interface were link level -information can be captured or SOCK_DGRAM for the cooked -interface where link level information capture is not -supported and a link level pseudo-header is provided -by the kernel. - -The destruction of the socket and all associated resources -is done by a simple call to close(fd). - -Similarly as without PACKET_MMAP, it is possible to use one socket -for capture and transmission. This can be done by mapping the -allocated RX and TX buffer ring with a single mmap() call. -See "Mapping and use of the circular buffer (ring)". - -Next I will describe PACKET_MMAP settings and its constraints, -also the mapping of the circular buffer in the user process and -the use of this buffer. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ How to use mmap() directly to improve transmission process --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Transmission process is similar to capture as shown below. - -[setup] socket() -------> creation of the transmission socket - setsockopt() ---> allocation of the circular buffer (ring) - option: PACKET_TX_RING - bind() ---------> bind transmission socket with a network interface - mmap() ---------> mapping of the allocated buffer to the - user process - -[transmission] poll() ---------> wait for free packets (optional) - send() ---------> send all packets that are set as ready in - the ring - The flag MSG_DONTWAIT can be used to return - before end of transfer. - -[shutdown] close() --------> destruction of the transmission socket and - deallocation of all associated resources. - -Socket creation and destruction is also straight forward, and is done -the same way as in capturing described in the previous paragraph: - - int fd = socket(PF_PACKET, mode, 0); - -The protocol can optionally be 0 in case we only want to transmit -via this socket, which avoids an expensive call to packet_rcv(). -In this case, you also need to bind(2) the TX_RING with sll_protocol = 0 -set. Otherwise, htons(ETH_P_ALL) or any other protocol, for example. - -Binding the socket to your network interface is mandatory (with zero copy) to -know the header size of frames used in the circular buffer. - -As capture, each frame contains two parts: - - -------------------- -| struct tpacket_hdr | Header. It contains the status of -| | of this frame -|--------------------| -| data buffer | -. .

In order -to make this work it must be enabled previously with setsockopt() -and the PACKET_TX_HAS_OFF option. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ PACKET_MMAP settings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -To setup PACKET_MMAP from user level code is done with a call like - - - Capture process - setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_RX_RING, (void *) &req, sizeof(req)) - - Transmission process - setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, (void *) &req, sizeof(req)) - -The most significant argument in the previous call is the req parameter, -this parameter must to have the following structure: - - struct tpacket_req - { - unsigned int tp_block_size; /* Minimal size of contiguous block */ - unsigned int tp_block_nr; /* Number of blocks */ - unsigned int tp_frame_size; /* Size of frame */ - unsigned int tp_frame_nr; /* Total number of frames */ - }; - -This structure is defined in /usr/include/linux/if_packet.h and establishes a -circular buffer (ring) of unswappable memory. -Being mapped in the capture process allows reading the captured frames and -related meta-information like timestamps without requiring a system call. - -Frames are grouped in blocks. Each block is a physically contiguous -region of memory and holds tp_block_size/tp_frame_size frames. The total number -of blocks is tp_block_nr. Note that tp_frame_nr is a redundant parameter because - - frames_per_block = tp_block_size/tp_frame_size - -indeed, packet_set_ring checks that the following condition is true - - frames_per_block * tp_block_nr == tp_frame_nr - -Lets see an example, with the following values: - - tp_block_size= 4096 - tp_frame_size= 2048 - tp_block_nr = 4 - tp_frame_nr = 8 - -we will get the following buffer structure: - - block #1 block #2 -+---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ -| frame 1 | frame 2 | | frame 3 | frame 4 | -+---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ - - block #3 block #4 -+---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ -| frame 5 | frame 6 | | frame 7 | frame 8 | -+---------+---------+ +---------+---------+ - -A frame can be of any size with the only condition it can fit in a block. A block -can only hold an integer number of frames, or in other words, a frame cannot -be spawned across two blocks, so there are some details you have to take into -account when choosing the frame_size. See "Mapping and use of the circular -buffer (ring)". - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ PACKET_MMAP setting constraints --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -In kernel versions prior to 2.4.26 (for the 2.4 branch) and 2.6.5 (2.6 branch), -the PACKET_MMAP buffer could hold only 32768 frames in a 32 bit architecture or -16384 in a 64 bit architecture. For information on these kernel versions -see http://pusa.uv.es/~ulisses/packet_mmap/packet_mmap.pre-2.4.26_2.6.5.txt - - Block size limit ------------------- - -As stated earlier, each block is a contiguous physical region of memory. These -memory regions are allocated with calls to the __get_free_pages() function. As -the name indicates, this function allocates pages of memory, and the second -argument is "order" or a power of two number of pages, that is -(for PAGE_SIZE == 4096) order=0 ==> 4096 bytes, order=1 ==> 8192 bytes, -order=2 ==> 16384 bytes, etc. The maximum size of a -region allocated by __get_free_pages is determined by the MAX_ORDER macro. More -precisely the limit can be calculated as: - - PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER - - In a i386 architecture PAGE_SIZE is 4096 bytes - In a 2.4/i386 kernel MAX_ORDER is 10 - In a 2.6/i386 kernel MAX_ORDER is 11 - -So get_free_pages can allocate as much as 4MB or 8MB in a 2.4/2.6 kernel -respectively, with an i386 architecture. - -User space programs can include /usr/include/sys/user.h and -/usr/include/linux/mmzone.h to get PAGE_SIZE MAX_ORDER declarations. - -The pagesize can also be determined dynamically with the getpagesize (2) -system call. - - Block number limit --------------------- - -To understand the constraints of PACKET_MMAP, we have to see the structure -used to hold the pointers to each block. - -Currently, this structure is a dynamically allocated vector with kmalloc -called pg_vec, its size limits the number of blocks that can be allocated. - - +---+---+---+---+ - | x | x | x | x | - +---+---+---+---+ - | | | | - | | | v - | | v block #4 - | v block #3 - v block #2 - block #1 - -kmalloc allocates any number of bytes of physically contiguous memory from -a pool of pre-determined sizes. This pool of memory is maintained by the slab -allocator which is at the end the responsible for doing the allocation and -hence which imposes the maximum memory that kmalloc can allocate. - -In a 2.4/2.6 kernel and the i386 architecture, the limit is 131072 bytes. The -predetermined sizes that kmalloc uses can be checked in the "size-<bytes>" -entries of /proc/slabinfo - -In a 32 bit architecture, pointers are 4 bytes long, so the total number of -pointers to blocks is - - 131072/4 = 32768 blocks - - PACKET_MMAP buffer size calculator ------------------------------------- - -Definitions: - -<size-max> : is the maximum size of allocable with kmalloc (see /proc/slabinfo) -<pointer size>: depends on the architecture -- sizeof(void *) -<page size> : depends on the architecture -- PAGE_SIZE or getpagesize (2) -<max-order> : is the value defined with MAX_ORDER -<frame size> : it's an upper bound of frame's capture size (more on this later) - -from these definitions we will derive - - <block number> = <size-max>/<pointer size> - <block size> = <pagesize> << <max-order> - -so, the max buffer size is - - <block number> * <block size> - -and, the number of frames be - - <block number> * <block size> / <frame size> - -Suppose the following parameters, which apply for 2.6 kernel and an -i386 architecture: - - <size-max> = 131072 bytes - <pointer size> = 4 bytes - <pagesize> = 4096 bytes - <max-order> = 11 - -and a value for <frame size> of 2048 bytes. These parameters will yield - - <block number> = 131072/4 = 32768 blocks - <block size> = 4096 << 11 = 8 MiB. - -and hence the buffer will have a 262144 MiB size. So it can hold -262144 MiB / 2048 bytes = 134217728 frames - -Actually, this buffer size is not possible with an i386 architecture. -Remember that the memory is allocated in kernel space, in the case of -an i386 kernel's memory size is limited to 1GiB. - -All memory allocations are not freed until the socket is closed. The memory -allocations are done with GFP_KERNEL priority, this basically means that -the allocation can wait and swap other process' memory in order to allocate -the necessary memory, so normally limits can be reached. - - Other constraints -------------------- - -If you check the source code you will see that what I draw here as a frame -is not only the link level frame. At the beginning of each frame there is a -header called struct tpacket_hdr used in PACKET_MMAP to hold link level's frame -meta information like timestamp. So what we draw here a frame it's really -the following (from include/linux/if_packet.h): - -/* - Frame structure: - - - Start. Frame must be aligned to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 - - struct tpacket_hdr - - pad to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 - - struct sockaddr_ll - - Gap, chosen so that packet data (Start+tp_net) aligns to - TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 - - Start+tp_mac: [ Optional MAC header ] - - Start+tp_net: Packet data, aligned to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16. - - Pad to align to TPACKET_ALIGNMENT=16 - */ - - The following are conditions that are checked in packet_set_ring - - tp_block_size must be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE (1) - tp_frame_size must be greater than TPACKET_HDRLEN (obvious) - tp_frame_size must be a multiple of TPACKET_ALIGNMENT - tp_frame_nr must be exactly frames_per_block*tp_block_nr - -Note that tp_block_size should be chosen to be a power of two or there will -be a waste of memory. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ Mapping and use of the circular buffer (ring) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -The mapping of the buffer in the user process is done with the conventional -mmap function. Even the circular buffer is compound of several physically -discontiguous blocks of memory, they are contiguous to the user space, hence -just one call to mmap is needed: - - mmap(0, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); - -If tp_frame_size is a divisor of tp_block_size frames will be -contiguously spaced by tp_frame_size bytes. If not, each -tp_block_size/tp_frame_size frames there will be a gap between -the frames. This is because a frame cannot be spawn across two -blocks. - -To use one socket for capture and transmission, the mapping of both the -RX and TX buffer ring has to be done with one call to mmap: - - ... - setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_RX_RING, &foo, sizeof(foo)); - setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_TX_RING, &bar, sizeof(bar)); - ... - rx_ring = mmap(0, size * 2, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); - tx_ring = rx_ring + size; - -RX must be the first as the kernel maps the TX ring memory right -after the RX one. - -At the beginning of each frame there is an status field (see -struct tpacket_hdr). If this field is 0 means that the frame is ready -to be used for the kernel, If not, there is a frame the user can read -and the following flags apply: - -+++ Capture process: - from include/linux/if_packet.h - - #define TP_STATUS_COPY (1 << 1) - #define TP_STATUS_LOSING (1 << 2) - #define TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY (1 << 3) - #define TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID (1 << 7) - -TP_STATUS_COPY : This flag indicates that the frame (and associated - meta information) has been truncated because it's - larger than tp_frame_size. This packet can be - read entirely with recvfrom(). - - In order to make this work it must to be - enabled previously with setsockopt() and - the PACKET_COPY_THRESH option. - - The number of frames that can be buffered to - be read with recvfrom is limited like a normal socket. - See the SO_RCVBUF option in the socket (7) man page. - -TP_STATUS_LOSING : indicates there were packet drops from last time - statistics where checked with getsockopt() and - the PACKET_STATISTICS option. - -TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY: currently it's used for outgoing IP packets which - its checksum will be done in hardware. So while - reading the packet we should not try to check the - checksum. - -TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID : This flag indicates that at least the transport - header checksum of the packet has been already - validated on the kernel side. If the flag is not set - then we are free to check the checksum by ourselves - provided that TP_STATUS_CSUMNOTREADY is also not set. - -for convenience there are also the following defines: - - #define TP_STATUS_KERNEL 0 - #define TP_STATUS_USER 1 - -The kernel initializes all frames to TP_STATUS_KERNEL, when the kernel -receives a packet it puts in the buffer and updates the status with -at least the TP_STATUS_USER flag. Then the user can read the packet, -once the packet is read the user must zero the status field, so the kernel -can use again that frame buffer. - -The user can use poll (any other variant should apply too) to check if new -packets are in the ring: - - struct pollfd pfd; - - pfd.fd = fd; - pfd.revents = 0; - pfd.events = POLLIN|POLLRDNORM|POLLERR; - - if (status == TP_STATUS_KERNEL) - retval = poll(&pfd, 1, timeout); - -It doesn't incur in a race condition to first check the status value and -then poll for frames. - -++ Transmission process -Those defines are also used for transmission: - - #define TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE 0 // Frame is available - #define TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST 1 // Frame will be sent on next send() - #define TP_STATUS_SENDING 2 // Frame is currently in transmission - #define TP_STATUS_WRONG_FORMAT 4 // Frame format is not correct - -First, the kernel initializes all frames to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE. To send a -packet, the user fills a data buffer of an available frame, sets tp_len to -current data buffer size and sets its status field to TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST. -This can be done on multiple frames. Once the user is ready to transmit, it -calls send(). Then all buffers with status equal to TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST are -forwarded to the network device. The kernel updates each status of sent -frames with TP_STATUS_SENDING until the end of transfer. -At the end of each transfer, buffer status returns to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE. - - header->tp_len = in_i_size; - header->tp_status = TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST; - retval = send(this->socket, NULL, 0, 0); - -The user can also use poll() to check if a buffer is available: -(status == TP_STATUS_SENDING) - - struct pollfd pfd; - pfd.fd = fd; - pfd.revents = 0; - pfd.events = POLLOUT; - retval = poll(&pfd, 1, timeout); - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -+ What TPACKET versions are available and when to use them? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - int val = tpacket_version; - setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_VERSION, &val, sizeof(val)); - getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_VERSION, &val, sizeof(val)); - -where 'tpacket_version' can be TPACKET_V1 (default), TPACKET_V2, TPACKET_V3. - -TPACKET_V1: - - Default if not otherwise specified by setsockopt(2) - - RX_RING, TX_RING available - -TPACKET_V1 --> TPACKET_V2: - - Made 64 bit clean due to unsigned long usage in TPACKET_V1 - structures, thus this also works on 64 bit kernel with 32 bit - userspace and the like - - Timestamp resolution in nanoseconds instead of microseconds - - RX_RING, TX_RING available - - VLAN metadata information available for packets - (TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID, TP_STATUS_VLAN_TPID_VALID), - in the tpacket2_hdr structure: - - TP_STATUS_VLAN_VALID bit being set into the tp_status field indicates - that the tp_vlan_tci field has valid VLAN TCI value - - TP_STATUS_VLAN_TPID_VALID bit being set into the tp_status field - indicates that the tp_vlan_tpid field has valid VLAN TPID value - - How to switch to TPACKET_V2: - 1. Replace struct tpacket_hdr by struct tpacket2_hdr - 2. Query header len and save - 3. Set protocol version to 2, set up ring as usual - 4.

One use case is the multi-tenancy problem where each -tenant has their own unique routing tables and in the very least need -different default gateways. - -Processes can be "VRF aware" by binding a socket to the VRF device. Packets -through the socket then use the routing table associated with the VRF -device. An important feature of the VRF device implementation is that it -impacts only Layer 3 and above so L2 tools (e.g., LLDP) are not affected -(ie., they do not need to be run in each VRF). The design also allows -the use of higher priority ip rules (Policy Based Routing, PBR) to take -precedence over the VRF device rules directing specific traffic as desired. - -In addition, VRF devices allow VRFs to be nested within namespaces. For -example network namespaces provide separation of network interfaces at the -device layer, VLANs on the interfaces within a namespace provide L2 separation -and then VRF devices provide L3 separation. - -Design ------- -A VRF device is created with an associated route table. Network interfaces -are then enslaved to a VRF device: - - +-----------------------------+ - | vrf-blue | ===> route table 10 - +-----------------------------+ - | | | - +------+ +------+ +-------------+ - | eth1 | | eth2 | ... | bond1 | - +------+ +------+ +-------------+ - | | - +------+ +------+ - | eth8 | | eth9 | - +------+ +------+ - -Packets received on an enslaved device and are switched to the VRF device -in the IPv4 and IPv6 processing stacks giving the impression that packets -flow through the VRF device. Similarly on egress routing rules are used to -send packets to the VRF device driver before getting sent out the actual -interface. This allows tcpdump on a VRF device to capture all packets into -and out of the VRF as a whole.[1] Similarly, netfilter[2] and tc rules can be -applied using the VRF device to specify rules that apply to the VRF domain -as a whole. - -[1] Packets in the forwarded state do not flow through the device, so those - packets are not seen by tcpdump. Will revisit this limitation in a - future release. - -[2] Iptables on ingress supports PREROUTING with skb->dev set to the real - ingress device and both INPUT and PREROUTING rules with skb->dev set to - the VRF device. For egress POSTROUTING and OUTPUT rules can be written - using either the VRF device or real egress device. - -Setup ------ -1. VRF device is created with an association to a FIB table. - e.g, ip link add vrf-blue type vrf table 10 - ip link set dev vrf-blue up - -2. An l3mdev FIB rule directs lookups to the table associated with the device. - A single l3mdev rule is sufficient for all VRFs. The VRF device adds the - l3mdev rule for IPv4 and IPv6 when the first device is created with a - default preference of 1000. Users may delete the rule if desired and add - with a different priority or install per-VRF rules. - - Prior to the v4.8 kernel iif and oif rules are needed for each VRF device: - ip ru add oif vrf-blue table 10 - ip ru add iif vrf-blue table 10 - -3. Set the default route for the table (and hence default route for the VRF). - ip route add table 10 unreachable default metric 4278198272 - - This high metric value ensures that the default unreachable route can - be overridden by a routing protocol suite. FRRouting interprets - kernel metrics as a combined admin distance (upper byte) and priority - (lower 3 bytes). Thus the above metric translates to [255/8192]. - -4. Enslave L3 interfaces to a VRF device. - ip link set dev eth1 master vrf-blue - - Local and connected routes for enslaved devices are automatically moved to - the table associated with VRF device. Any additional routes depending on - the enslaved device are dropped and will need to be reinserted to the VRF - FIB table following the enslavement. - - The IPv6 sysctl option keep_addr_on_down can be enabled to keep IPv6 global - addresses as VRF enslavement changes. - sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1 - -5. Additional VRF routes are added to associated table. - ip route add table 10 ... - - -Applications ------------- -Applications that are to work within a VRF need to bind their socket to the -VRF device: - - setsockopt(sd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BINDTODEVICE, dev, strlen(dev)+1); - -or to specify the output device using cmsg and IP_PKTINFO. - -By default the scope of the port bindings for unbound sockets is -limited to the default VRF. That is, it will not be matched by packets -arriving on interfaces enslaved to an l3mdev and processes may bind to -the same port if they bind to an l3mdev. - -TCP & UDP services running in the default VRF context (ie., not bound -to any VRF device) can work across all VRF domains by enabling the -tcp_l3mdev_accept and udp_l3mdev_accept sysctl options: - - sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_l3mdev_accept=1 - sysctl -w net.ipv4.udp_l3mdev_accept=1 - -These options are disabled by default so that a socket in a VRF is only -selected for packets in that VRF. There is a similar option for RAW -sockets, which is enabled by default for reasons of backwards compatibility. -This is so as to specify the output device with cmsg and IP_PKTINFO, but -using a socket not bound to the corresponding VRF. This allows e.g. older ping -implementations to be run with specifying the device but without executing it -in the VRF. This option can be disabled so that packets received in a VRF -context are only handled by a raw socket bound to the VRF, and packets in the -default VRF are only handled by a socket not bound to any VRF: - - sysctl -w net.ipv4.raw_l3mdev_accept=0 - -netfilter rules on the VRF device can be used to limit access to services -running in the default VRF context as well. - -################################################################################ - -Using iproute2 for VRFs -======================= -iproute2 supports the vrf keyword as of v4.7.
