v5:
* 1/2 merge netdev_xmit_reset_txqueue(void),
  netdev_xmit_skip_txqueue(void), to netdev_xmit_skip_txqueue(bool skip). 
v4:
* 1/2 introduce netdev_xmit_reset_txqueue() and invoked in
  __dev_queue_xmit(), so ximt.skip_txqueue will not affect
  selecting tx queue in next netdev, or next packets.
  more details, see commit log.
* 2/2 fix the coding style, rename:
  SKBEDIT_F_QUEUE_MAPPING_HASH -> SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_SKBHASH
  SKBEDIT_F_QUEUE_MAPPING_CLASSID -> SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_CLASSID
  SKBEDIT_F_QUEUE_MAPPING_CPUID -> SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_CPUID
* 2/2 refactor tcf_skbedit_hash, if type of hash is not specified, use
  the queue_mapping, because hash % mapping_mod == 0 in "case 0:"
* 2/2 merge the check and add extack
v3:
* 2/2 fix the warning, add cpuid hash type.
v2:
* 1/2 change skb->tc_skip_txqueue to per-cpu var, add more commit message.
* 2/2 optmize the codes.

[net-next v5 1/2] net: sched: use queue_mapping to pick tx queue

[xiangxia.m.yue]

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com>

This patch fixes issue:
* If we install tc filters with act_skbedit in clsact hook.
  It doesn't work, because netdev_core_pick_tx() overwrites
  queue_mapping.

  $ tc filter ... action skbedit queue_mapping 1

And this patch is useful:
* We can use FQ + EDT to implement efficient policies. Tx queues
  are picked by xps, ndo_select_queue of netdev driver, or skb hash
  in netdev_core_pick_tx(). In fact, the netdev driver, and skb
  hash are _not_ under control. xps uses the CPUs map to select Tx
  queues, but we can't figure out which task_struct of pod/containter
  running on this cpu in most case. We can use clsact filters to classify
  one pod/container traffic to one Tx queue. Why ?

  In containter networking environment, there are two kinds of pod/
  containter/net-namespace. One kind (e.g. P1, P2), the high throughput
  is key in these applications. But avoid running out of network resource,
  the outbound traffic of these pods is limited, using or sharing one
  dedicated Tx queues assigned HTB/TBF/FQ Qdisc. Other kind of pods
  (e.g. Pn), the low latency of data access is key. And the traffic is not
  limited. Pods use or share other dedicated Tx queues assigned FIFO Qdisc.
  This choice provides two benefits. First, contention on the HTB/FQ Qdisc
  lock is significantly reduced since fewer CPUs contend for the same queue.
  More importantly, Qdisc contention can be eliminated completely if each
  CPU has its own FIFO Qdisc for the second kind of pods.

  There must be a mechanism in place to support classifying traffic based on
  pods/container to different Tx queues. Note that clsact is outside of Qdisc
  while Qdisc can run a classifier to select a sub-queue under the lock.

  In general recording the decision in the skb seems a little heavy handed.
  This patch introduces a per-CPU variable, suggested by Eric.

  The xmit.skip_txqueue flag is firstly cleared in __dev_queue_xmit().
  - Tx Qdisc may install that skbedit actions, then xmit.skip_txqueue flag
    is set in qdisc->enqueue() though tx queue has been selected in
    netdev_tx_queue_mapping() or netdev_core_pick_tx(). That flag is cleared
    firstly in __dev_queue_xmit(), is useful:
  - Avoid picking Tx queue with netdev_tx_queue_mapping() in next netdev
    in such case: eth0 macvlan - eth0.3 vlan - eth0 ixgbe-phy:
    For example, eth0, macvlan in pod, which root Qdisc install skbedit
    queue_mapping, send packets to eth0.3, vlan in host. In __dev_queue_xmit() of
    eth0.3, clear the flag, does not select tx queue according to skb->queue_mapping
    because there is no filters in clsact or tx Qdisc of this netdev.
    Same action taked in eth0, ixgbe in Host.
  - Avoid picking Tx queue for next packet. If we set xmit.skip_txqueue
    in tx Qdisc (qdisc->enqueue()), the proper way to clear it is clearing it
    in __dev_queue_xmit when processing next packets.

[net-next v5 2/2] net: sched: support hash/classid/cpuid selecting tx queue

[xiangxia.m.yue]

From: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com>

This patch allows user to select queue_mapping, range
from A to B. And user can use skbhash, cgroup classid
and cpuid to select Tx queues. Then we can load balance
packets from A to B queue. The range is an unsigned 16bit
value in decimal format.

$ tc filter ... action skbedit queue_mapping skbhash A B

"skbedit queue_mapping QUEUE_MAPPING" (from "man 8 tc-skbedit")
is enhanced with flags:
* SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_SKBHASH
* SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_CLASSID
* SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_CPUID

Use skb->hash, cgroup classid, or cpuid to distribute packets.
Then same range of tx queues can be shared for different flows,
cgroups, or CPUs in a variety of scenarios.

For example, F1 may share range R1 with F2. The best way to do
that is to set flag to SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_HASH, using skb->hash to
share the queues. If cgroup C1 want to share the R1 with cgroup
C2 .. Cn, use the SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_CLASSID. Of course, in some other
scenario, C1 use R1, while Cn can use the Rn.

I have not suggested this patch, only to not add yet another bit in sk_buff.

Hi Eirc
Do you mean we need a static key, such as, egress_needed_key ?
static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(egress_needed_key);

and we also should use the per-cpu var to decide to select tx from
netdev_tx_queue_mapping or netdev_core_pick_tx.

Any reason why we can't just move sch_handle_egress() down after
netdev_core_pick_tx() and recalculate txq with skb->queue_mapping?

Once again, you are enforcing policies in kernel, which is not good.
Kernel should just set whatever you give to it, not selecting policies
like a menu.

Any reason why you can't obtain these values in user-space?

If we sch_handle_egress() down after netdev_core_pick_tx(), and we
overwrite the txqueue, the overhead of
netdev_core_pick_tx() is unnecessary, so I don't do that . If
eth0(macvlan) -> eth0.3(vlan) -> eth0(ixgbe), skb-> queue_mapping is
not cleared,
skb-> queue_mapping affect every netdevice to pick the tx queue.

I agree that, but for tc/net-sched layer, there are a lot of
networking policies, for example , cls_A, act_B, sch_C.

Did you mean that we add this flags to iproute2 tools? This patch for
iproute2, is not post. If the kerenl patches are accepted, I will send

If you agree, why still move on with this patch? Apparently
you don't. ;)

> networking policies, for example , cls_A, act_B, sch_C.

You are justifying your logic by shifting the topics here.

The qdisc algorithm is very different from your case, it is essentially
hard, if not impossible, to completely move to user-space. Even if we
had eBPF based Qdisc, its programmablility is still very limited.
Your code is much much much easier, which is essentially one-line,
hence you have to reason to compare it with this, nor you can even
justify it.

Nope, I mean you can for example, obtain the CPU ID in user-space
and pass it directly to _current_ act_skbedit as it is.

Hi Cong,
I mean that if the "policies" are networking policies, I don't agree
with you, because
the TC(or net sched layer), are networking policies, right ? and this
patch enhances the original feature of TC.

I think we have talked about this in another thread. And other
maintainers comment on this.

This flag is passed from userspace. Do you mean the cpuid value should
be passed from userspace?
If so, this is not what we need. because we don't know which one cpu
the pod(containers) will use. and for skb-hash/classid
this helps us to pick the tx queue from a range. I don't understand
why this value should be passed from userspace. How ?
can you give me examples ?

BTW, this patch is the core of patchset.

One alternative, I don't know if it would work for you, it to use the
net_prio cgroup + mqprio.

Something like this:

* create the cgroup
  $ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/<CGROUP_NAME>
* assign priorities to the cgroup (per interface)
  $ echo "<IFACE> <PRIO>" >> /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/<CGROUP_NAME>/net_prio.ifpriomap"
* use the cgroup in applications that do not set SO_PRIORITY
  $ cgexec -g net_prio:<CGROUP_NAME> <application>
* configure mqprio
  $ tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent root handle 100 mqprio \
      num_tc 3 \
      map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \
      queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 \
      hw 0

This would map all traffic with SO_PRIORITY 3 to TX queue 0, for example.

But I agree that skbedit's queue_mapping not working is unexpected and
should be fixed.

Yes, I think this is key. In k8s, we can not control the priority of
applications in Pod. and I think 2/2 patch
can provide more mechanisms to select queues from a range.
If possible, you can help me review it.

Why not? Please be more specific.

Well, you just keep ignoring eBPF action which provides
literally infinitely more choices than yours. So, you want more
choices but still refuse using eBPF action, what point are you
trying to make?

Thanks.

I mean the priority of skb can be set via the socket from
applications. the application is running for a long time,
There are so many applications in the company. we can't ask them to do
that. there is a lot of workload.

Maybe I can answer your question in another thread. In brief, this
patch is only enhanced the tc-skbedit.
