[PATCH net-next v8 0/5] page_pool: recycle buffers

[PATCH net-next v8 0/5] page_pool: recycle buffers

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

This is a respin of [1]

This patchset shows the plans for allowing page_pool to handle and
maintain DMA map/unmap of the pages it serves to the driver. For this
to work a return hook in the network core is introduced.

The overall purpose is to simplify drivers, by providing a page
allocation API that does recycling, such that each driver doesn't have
to reinvent its own recycling scheme. Using page_pool in a driver
does not require implementing XDP support, but it makes it trivially
easy to do so. Instead of allocating buffers specifically for SKBs
we now allocate a generic buffer and either wrap it on an SKB
(via build_skb) or create an XDP frame.
The recycling code leverages the XDP recycle APIs.

The Marvell mvpp2 and mvneta drivers are used in this patchset to
demonstrate how to use the API, and tested on a MacchiatoBIN
and EspressoBIN boards respectively.

Please let this going in on a future -rc1 so to allow enough time
to have wider tests.

v7 -> v8:
- use page->lru.next instead of page->index for pfmemalloc
- remove conditional include
- rework page_pool_return_skb_page() so to have less conversions
  between page and addresses, and call compound_head() only once
- move some code from skb_free_head() to a new helper skb_pp_recycle()
- misc fixes

v6 -> v7:
- refresh patches against net-next
- remove a redundant call to virt_to_head_page()
- update mvneta benchmarks

v5 -> v6:
- preserve pfmemalloc bit when setting signature
- fix typo in mvneta
- rebase on next-next with the new cache
- don't clear the skb->pp_recycle in pskb_expand_head()

v4 -> v5:
- move the signature so it doesn't alias with page->mapping
- use an invalid pointer as magic
- incorporate Matthew Wilcox's changes for pfmemalloc pages
- move the __skb_frag_unref() changes to a preliminary patch
- refactor some cpp directives
- only attempt recycling if skb->head_frag
- clear skb->pp_recycle in pskb_expand_head()

v3 -> v4:
- store a pointer to page_pool instead of xdp_mem_info
- drop a patch which reduces xdp_mem_info size
- do the recycling in the page_pool code instead of xdp_return
- remove some unused headers include
- remove some useless forward declaration

v2 -> v3:
- added missing SOBs
- CCed the MM people

v1 -> v2:
- fix a commit message
- avoid setting pp_recycle multiple times on mvneta
- squash two patches to avoid breaking bisect

[PATCH net-next v8 1/5] mm: add a signature in struct page

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

This is needed by the page_pool to avoid recycling a page not allocated
via page_pool.

The page->signature field is aliased to page->lru.next and
page->compound_head, but it can't be set by mistake because the
signature value is a bad pointer, and can't trigger a false positive
in PageTail() because the last bit is 0.

[PATCH net-next v8 2/5] skbuff: add a parameter to __skb_frag_unref

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

This is a prerequisite patch, the next one is enabling recycling of
skbs and fragments. Add an extra argument on __skb_frag_unref() to
handle recycling, and update the current users of the function with that.

[PATCH net-next v8 3/5] page_pool: Allow drivers to hint on SKB recycling

[Matteo Croce]

From: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org>

Up to now several high speed NICs have custom mechanisms of recycling
the allocated memory they use for their payloads.
Our page_pool API already has recycling capabilities that are always
used when we are running in 'XDP mode'. So let's tweak the API and the
kernel network stack slightly and allow the recycling to happen even
during the standard operation.
The API doesn't take into account 'split page' policies used by those
drivers currently, but can be extended once we have users for that.

The idea is to be able to intercept the packet on skb_release_data().
If it's a buffer coming from our page_pool API recycle it back to the
pool for further usage or just release the packet entirely.

To achieve that we introduce a bit in struct sk_buff (pp_recycle:1) and
a field in struct page (page->pp) to store the page_pool pointer.
Storing the information in page->pp allows us to recycle both SKBs and
their fragments.
We could have skipped the skb bit entirely, since identical information
can bederived from struct page. However, in an effort to affect the free path
as less as possible, reading a single bit in the skb which is already
in cache, is better that trying to derive identical information for the
page stored data.

The driver or page_pool has to take care of the sync operations on it's own
during the buffer recycling since the buffer is, after opting-in to the
recycling, never unmapped.

Since the gain on the drivers depends on the architecture, we are not
enabling recycling by default if the page_pool API is used on a driver.
In order to enable recycling the driver must call skb_mark_for_recycle()
to store the information we need for recycling in page->pp and
enabling the recycling bit, or page_pool_store_mem_info() for a fragment.

[PATCH net-next v8 4/5] mvpp2: recycle buffers

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

Use the new recycling API for page_pool.
In a drop rate test, the packet rate is almost doubled,
from 1110 Kpps to 2128 Kpps.

perf top on a stock system shows:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  34.88%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_release_page
   8.06%  [kernel]          [k] free_unref_page
   6.42%  [mvpp2]           [k] mvpp2_rx
   6.07%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
   5.18%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
   4.95%  [kernel]          [k] build_skb
   4.88%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_free
   3.97%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_alloc
   3.45%  [kernel]          [k] dev_gro_receive
   2.73%  [kernel]          [k] page_frag_free
   2.07%  [kernel]          [k] __alloc_pages_bulk
   1.99%  [kernel]          [k] arch_local_irq_save
   1.84%  [kernel]          [k] skb_release_data
   1.20%  [kernel]          [k] netif_receive_skb_list_internal

With packet rate stable at 1100 Kpps:

tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.7 Mbps 1110 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.6 Mbps 1110 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.4 Mbps 1109 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 532.1 Mbps 1109 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 531.9 Mbps 1108 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 531.9 Mbps 1108 Kpps

And this is the same output with recycling enabled:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  12.91%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
  12.54%  [mvpp2]           [k] mvpp2_rx
   9.67%  [kernel]          [k] build_skb
   9.63%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
   8.44%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_put_page
   8.07%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_free
   7.79%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_alloc
   6.86%  [kernel]          [k] dev_gro_receive
   3.19%  [kernel]          [k] skb_release_data
   2.41%  [kernel]          [k] netif_receive_skb_list_internal
   2.18%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache

   1.61%  [kernel]          [k] kfree_skb
   1.20%  [kernel]          [k] dma_sync_single_for_device
   1.16%  [mvpp2]           [k] mvpp2_poll
   1.12%  [mvpp2]           [k] mvpp2_read

With packet rate above 2100 Kpps:

tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2127 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1021 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1022 Mbps 2128 Kpps
tx: 0 bps 0 pps rx: 1022 Mbps 2129 Kpps

The major performance increase is explained by the fact that the most CPU
consuming functions (page_pool_release_page, page_frag_free and
free_unref_page) are no longer called on a per packet basis.

The test was done by sending to the macchiatobin 64 byte ethernet frames
with an invalid ethertype, so the packets are dropped early in the RX path.

[PATCH net-next v8 5/5] mvneta: recycle buffers

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

Use the new recycling API for page_pool.
In a drop rate test, the packet rate increased by 10%,
from 296 Kpps to 326 Kpps.

perf top on a stock system shows:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  23.66%  [kernel]          [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area

   1.45%  [kernel]          [k] __alloc_pages_bulk
   1.30%  [kernel]          [k] page_frag_free

And this is the same output with recycling enabled:

Overhead  Shared Object     Symbol
  26.41%  [kernel]          [k] __pi___inval_dcache_area
  25.00%  [mvneta]          [k] mvneta_rx_swbm
   8.14%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_alloc
   6.84%  [kernel]          [k] eth_type_trans
   4.44%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
   4.38%  [kernel]          [k] kmem_cache_free
   4.16%  [kernel]          [k] dev_gro_receive
   3.21%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_put_page
   2.41%  [kernel]          [k] build_skb
   1.82%  [kernel]          [k] skb_release_data
   1.61%  [kernel]          [k] napi_gro_receive
   1.25%  [kernel]          [k] page_pool_refill_alloc_cache
   1.16%  [kernel]          [k] __netif_receive_skb_list_core

We can see that page_pool_release_page(), free_unref_page() and
__alloc_pages_bulk() are no longer on top of the list when receiving
traffic.

The test was done with mausezahn on the TX side with 64 byte raw
ethernet frames.
