[net-next PATCH 0/5] Add busy poll support for epoll under certain circumstances

[Alexander Duyck]

This patch series is meant to add busy polling support to epoll when all of
the sockets on a given epoll are either local or are being sourced by the
same NAPI ID.

In order to support this the first two patches clean up a few issues we
found with the NAPI ID tracking and infrastructure.

In the third patch we introduce SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID so that applications
have a means of trying to sort their incoming sockets to identify which
requests should be routed where in order to keep the epoll listener aligned
to a given Rx queue without having to rely on IRQ pinning.

Finally the last two patches refactor the existing busy poll infrastructure
to make it so that we can call it without necessarily needing a socket, and
enable the bits needed to support epoll when all of the sockets on the
epoll either share the same NAPI ID, or simply are reporting no NAPI ID.

[net-next PATCH 1/5] net: Do not record sender_cpu as napi_id in socket receive paths

[Alexander Duyck]

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

Fix sk_mark_napi_id() and sk_mark_napi_id_once() to set sk_napi_id only if
skb->napi_id is a valid value.

This happens in loopback paths where skb->napi_id is not updated in
rx path and holds sender_cpu that is set in xmit path.

[net-next PATCH 2/5] net: Call sk_mark_napi_id() in the ACK receive path

[Alexander Duyck]

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

Call sk_mark_napi_id() in the ACK receive path of a TCP_NEW_SYN_RECV
socket, so that sk->napi_id is set even if the socket hasn't yet received
any data.  With this change we should be able to start busy polling
slightly earlier.

[Alexander Duyck]

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

This socket option returns the napi id associated with the queue on which
the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to
split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which
they are received.

[net-next PATCH 4/5] net: Commonize busy polling code to focus on napi_id instead of socket

[Alexander Duyck]

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

Move the core functionality in sk_busy_loop() to napi_busy_loop() and
make it independent of sk.

This enables re-using this function in epoll busy loop implementation.

[net-next PATCH 5/5] epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket fds.

[Alexander Duyck]

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com>

This patch adds busy poll support to epoll if all the sockets attached
to an epoll fd receive packets from the same receive queue(NAPI ID). NAPI
ID is maintained per epoll and is set from sk when the first event is
received for a socket with a non-zero NAPI ID. It is validated to make sure
that all the later events for sockets have the same NAPI ID. Busy polling
is disabled if an event is received for a socket with NAPI ID that is
different from the epoll NAPI ID.

An application can use SO_INCOMING_CPU or SO_REUSEPORT_ATTACH_C/EBPF socket
options to spread the incoming connections to specific worker threads
based on the incoming queue. This enables epoll for each worker thread
to have only sockets that receive packets from a single queue. So when an
application calls epoll_wait() and there are no events available to report,
busy polling is done on the associated queue to pull the packets.

Seems good, but what about IPv6 ?

Frankly this calls for the sk_mark_napi_id() being done in
tcp_child_process() instead of its four callers.

It is not clear why this patch is needed .

What you describe here is the case we might receive packets for a socket
coming from different interfaces ?

If skb->napi_id is a sender_cpu, why should we prevent overwriting the
sk_napi_id with it, knowing that busy polling will simply ignore the
invalid value ?

Do not get me wrong :

I simply try to understand why the test about napi_id validity is now
done twice :

1) At the time we are writing into sk->sk_napi_id

2) At busy polling time when we read sk->sk_napi_id

I believe a more standard way is to use sock_from_file()

(This does not have to fetch a cache line to read i_mode ))

I guess that here you should filter invalid values.

(So that you no longer need the first patch in this series)

Also, it looks like eBPF will need to get access to skb->napi_id for
efficient SO_REUSEPORT support ?

Thanks.

I would argue that this is the one piece we were missing.

> 2) At busy polling time when we read sk->sk_napi_id

Unless there was something recently added I don't think this was ever
checked.  Instead we start digging into the hash looking for the ID
that won't ever be there.  Maybe we should add something to napi_by_id
that just returns NULL in these cases.

On top of that I think there end up being several spots where once we
lock in a non-NAPI ID it is stuck such as the sk_mark_napi_id_once
call.  I figure we are better off locking in an actual NAPI ID rather
than getting a sender_cpu stuck in there.

We are not checking for invalid VALUE(< NR_CPUs) in busy_poll,
Non-zero sk->napi_id is considered valid.

If we don't want to add this check while setting sk->sk_napi_Id, we 
could change the
check in ep_set_busy_poll_napi_id() to check for invalid value rather 
than non-zero value.

But this is exactly what should happen.

For invalid ID, we return NULL from napi_by_id()

No need to add code for that, since the function is meant to deal with
valid cases.

Are you referring to sk_mark_napi_id_once() ?

Since this is only used by UDP, I would be OK to avoid the 'locking' for
'sender_cpu'  ids.

I don't know.  My concern here is about the cost of going through all
that code just for something that we know shouldn't be valid.  If
nothing else I might update sk_can_busy_loop so that it doesn't try
busy looping on a sk_napi_id that is NR_CPU or less.

What I probably can do is go through and replace all the spots where
we where checking for sk_napi_id being 0, and instead replace it with
a check against NR_CPUS.

But why would that be a win ?

if napi_by_id() returns NULL, we immediately give up, (goto out;)

So why should we add a code that will add something that will not be
useful for the vast majority of the cases where the ID is valid and we
need to do the hash look up ?

Is libc trying to avoid doing syscalls like close(-1) ?

This seems a good idea.

Right.  This is the path I am planning to go with.  It will require
about the same amount of code change but replaces those checks.  I
just have to make sure I catch all the spots where we were checking it
for 0 but that shouldn't be too difficult of an issue.

Hello Alexander

Since this is a kernel-user-space API change, please CC linux-api@
(and on future iterations of the patch). The kernel source file
Documentation/SubmitChecklist notes that all Linux kernel patches that
change userspace interfaces should be CCed to
linux-api@vger.kernel.org, so that the various parties who are
interested in API changes are informed. For further information, see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-api-ml.html

Thanks,

Michael
