[PATCH net-next 0/5] virtio-net: Add SCTP checksum offload support

[PATCH net-next 0/5] virtio-net: Add SCTP checksum offload support

[Vladislav Yasevich]

Now that we have SCTP offload capabilities in the kernel, we can add
them to virtio as well.  First step is SCTP checksum.

We need a new freature in virtio to negotiate this support since
SCTP is excluded with the stardard checksum and requires a little
bit extra.  This series proposes VIRTIO_NET_F_SCTP_CSUM feature bit.

As the "little bit extra",  the kernel uses a new bit in the skb
(skb->csum_not_inet) to determine whether to use standard inet checksum
or the SCTP CRC32c checksum.  This bit has to be communicated between
the host and the guest.  This bit is carried in the vnet header.

Tap and macvtap support is added through an extra feature for the
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl.  Additionally macvtap will no correctly
do sctp checksumming if the receive doesn't support SCTP offload.
This also turns on sctp offloading for macvlan devices.

As for the perf numbers, I am seeing about a 5% increase in vm-to-vm
and vm-to-hos throughput which is the same as manually disabling
sctp checksumming,since this is exactly what we are emulatting.
Sending outside the host,  the increase about 2.5-3%.

As for GSO, the way sctp GSO is currently implemented buys us nothing
in added support to virtio.  To add true GSO, would require a lot of
re-work inside of SCTP and would require extensions to the virtio
net header to carry extra sctp data.

[PATCH net-next 1/5] virtio: Add support for SCTP checksum offloading

[Vladislav Yasevich]

To support SCTP checksum offloading, we need to add a new feature
to virtio_net, so we can negotiate support between the hypervisor
and the guest.

The signalling to the guest that an alternate checksum needs to
be used is done via a new flag in the virtio_net_hdr.  If the
flag is set, the host will know to perform an alternate checksum
calculation, which right now is only CRC32c.

[PATCH net-next 2/5] sctp: Handle sctp packets with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

[Vladislav Yasevich]

With SCTP checksum offload available in virtio, it is now
possible for virtio to receive a sctp packet with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set (guest-to-guest traffic).  SCTP doesn't really have a
partial checksum like TCP does because CRC32c can't do partial
additive checksumming.  It's all or nothing.  So an SCTP packet
with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL will have checksum set to 0.  Let SCTP
treat this as a valid checksum if CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set.

[PATCH net-next 2/5] sctp: Handle sctp packets with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

[Vladislav Yasevich]

With SCTP checksum offload available in virtio, it is now
possible for virtio to receive a sctp packet with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set (guest-to-guest traffic).  SCTP doesn't really have a
partial checksum like TCP does because CRC32c can't do partial
additive checksumming.  It's all or nothing.  So an SCTP packet
with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL will have checksum set to 0.  Let SCTP
treat this as a valid checksum if CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set.

Since we now have support for software CRC32c offload, turn it on
for macvlan and macvtap devices so that guests can take advantage
of offload SCTP checksums to the host or host hardware.

[PATCH net-next 5/5] macvlan/macvtap: Add support for SCTP checksum offload.

Can you please elaborate more on this? Is this because SCTP GSO relies
on the gso skb format for knowing how to segment it instead of having
a list of sizes?

I think also ipvlan can improve its SCTP performance with a similar patch.
WDYT?

It looks to me _F_SCTP_CSUM implies the ability of both device and 
driver. Do we still need the flexibility like csum to differ guest/host 
ability like e.g _F_GUEST_SCTP_CSUM?

Is this a guest or a host checksum? We should differenciate between the
two.

I suppose this is HOST checksum, since it behaves like VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM only for
SCTP.  I couldn't find the use for the GUEST side flag, since there technically
isn't any validations and there is no additional mappings from VIRTIO flag to a
NETIF flag.

If the feature is negotiated, the guest ends up generating partially check-summed
packets, and the host turns on appropriate flags on it's side.   The host will
also make sure the checksum if fixed up if the guest doesn't support it.
So 1 flag is currently all that is needed.

Fine, but let's include HOST in there to make things clear.
Also I think we should use a high flag, like 62.

Looks like we need a feature flag to tell host guest is able to handle this flag
in incoming packets ...

... and a separate flag to tell guest it's ok to set this flag in
outgoing packets.


Also - this chunk looks like a hack fixing up a value we
have set incorrectly.

Specifically this clears all flags except VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_CSUM_NOT_INET.
Why do this at all? Do we really want to clear e.g. NEEDS_CSUM? I think we do not
since csum_start, csum_offset are set.

Also - what will ever set this flag in the header?

Looks like we need a feature flag to tell host guest is able to handle this flag
in incoming packets ...

Is comment above still correct?

... and a separate flag to tell guest it's ok to set this flag in
outgoing packets.


Also - this chunk looks like a hack fixing up a value we
have set incorrectly.

Specifically this clears all flags except VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_CSUM_NOT_INET.
Why do this at all? Do we really want to clear e.g. NEEDS_CSUM? I think we do not
since csum_start, csum_offset are set.

Also - what will ever set this flag in the header?

Not very informative. Instead, please specify what is it actually.

I see code handling VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_CSUM_NOT_INET on RX side.  Host
needs to know whether it's ok/worth it to set this flag, too.

I see code handling VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_CSUM_NOT_INET on RX side.  Host
needs to know whether it's ok/worth it to set this flag, too.

When would user set this flag? Wouldn't that be when
userspace is ready to get SCTP packets without a checksum?
Seems to be this is an indication that when userspace
is qemu running a guest, said guest needs to communicate
the new ability to qemu.

Does not the above comment apply to the new flag too?  It seems that
it's value should be inverted for macvtap, and isn't, here.

it's mainly because all the true segmentation, placing data into chunks,
has already happened.  All that GSO does is allow for higher bundling
rate between VMs. If that is all SCTP GSO ever going to do, that fine,
but the goal is to do real GSO eventually and potentially reduce the
amount of memory copying we are doing.
If we do that, any current attempt at GSO in virtio would have to be
depricated and we'd need GSO2 or something like that.

This is why, after doing the GSO support, I decided not to include it.

Gotcha. I don't think it will ever go further than what we have now.
Placing data into chunks later is not really feasible/wanted,
especially now with stream schedulers and idata chunks. Doesn't seem
worth the hassle... we would have to support things like, "segment
half of this message plus a third of this other one from that other
stream." (in case it's round robin).

The memory copying for bundling can't be avoided, as the chunks in
one packet may be from some different messages, as Marcelo said below.

Why would it be depreciated? virtio_net actually also supports frag_list,
all we need to do is to enable it.

Are there actual plans for GSO2? Is it just for SCTP?

Yep. The results posted by Xin in the other email give good insights
on it.

> Are there actual plans for GSO2? Is it just for SCTP?

No plans. In this context, at least, yes, just for SCTP.

It was a supposition in case we start doing a different GSO for SCTP,
one more like what we have for TCP.

Currently, as the SCTP GSO code doesn't leave the system, we can
update it if we want. But by the moment we add support for it in
virtio, we will have to be backwards compatible if we end up doing
SCTP GSO differently.

But again, I don't think such approach for SCTP GSO would be neither
feasible or worth. The complexity for it, to work across stream
schedules and late TSN allocation, would do more harm then good IMO.

At least for TX you can always just disable the optimization. Won't be
worse than what is there now. RX is trickier - but that's GRO
not GSO.

At least for TX you can always just disable the optimization. Won't be
worse than what is there now. RX is trickier - but that's GRO
not GSO.

So, just because the linux code doesn't do it differently doesn't mean
that someone else doesn't.  Since the device has to work across different
possible implementations, it needs to be generic enough.  If we simply
document the current linux practice, that may not be ideal on the future.

I was hesitant to introduce this without studying the feasibility of
doing late segmentation.
