samples/bpf: extend xdp_rxq_info to read packet payload
There is a cost associated with reading the packet data payload
that this test ignored. Add option --read to allow enabling
reading part of the payload.
This sample/tool helps us analyse an issue observed with a NIC
mlx5 (ConnectX-5 Ex) and an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v4.
With no_touch of data:
Running XDP on dev:mlx5p1 (ifindex:8) action:XDP_DROP options:no_touch
XDP stats CPU pps issue-pps
XDP-RX CPU 0 14,465,157 0
XDP-RX CPU 1 14,464,728 0
XDP-RX CPU 2 14,465,283 0
XDP-RX CPU 3 14,465,282 0
XDP-RX CPU 4 14,464,159 0
XDP-RX CPU 5 14,465,379 0
XDP-RX CPU total 86,789,992
When not touching data, we observe that the CPUs have idle cycles.
When reading data the CPUs are 100% busy in softirq.
With reading data:
Running XDP on dev:mlx5p1 (ifindex:8) action:XDP_DROP options:read
XDP stats CPU pps issue-pps
XDP-RX CPU 0 9,620,639 0
XDP-RX CPU 1 9,489,843 0
XDP-RX CPU 2 9,407,854 0
XDP-RX CPU 3 9,422,289 0
XDP-RX CPU 4 9,321,959 0
XDP-RX CPU 5 9,395,242 0
XDP-RX CPU total 56,657,828
The effect seen above is a result of cache-misses occuring when
more RXQs are being used. Based on perf-event observations, our
conclusion is that the CPUs DDIO (Direct Data I/O) choose to
deliver packet into main memory, instead of L3-cache. We also
found, that this can be mitigated by either using less RXQs or by
reducing NICs the RX-ring size.
