[PATCH bpf RFC 0/4] XDP-hints: API change for RX-hash kfunc bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer]

Notice targeted 6.3-rc kernel via bpf git tree.

Current API for bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() returns the raw RSS hash value,
but doesn't provide information on the RSS hash type (part of 6.3-rc).

This patchset proposal is to use the return value from
bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() to provide the RSS hash type.

[PATCH bpf RFC 1/4] xdp: rss hash types representation

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer]

The RSS hash type specifies what portion of packet data NIC hardware used
when calculating RSS hash value. The RSS types are focused on Internet
traffic protocols at OSI layers L3 and L4. L2 (e.g. ARP) often get hash
value zero and no RSS type. For L3 focused on IPv4 vs. IPv6, and L4
primarily TCP vs UDP, but some hardware supports SCTP.

Hardware RSS types are differently encoded for each hardware NIC. Most
hardware represent RSS hash type as a number. Determining L3 vs L4 often
requires a mapping table as there often isn't a pattern or sorting
according to ISO layer.

The patch introduce a XDP RSS hash type (xdp_rss_hash_type) that can both
be seen as a number that is ordered according by ISO layer, and can be bit
masked to separate IPv4 and IPv6 types for L4 protocols. Room is available
for extending later while keeping these properties. This maps and unifies
difference to hardware specific hashes.

This proposal change the kfunc API bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() to return
this RSS hash type on success.

[PATCH bpf RFC 3/4] veth: bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash return xdp rss hash type

[Jesper Dangaard Brouer]

Update API for bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() by returning xdp rss hash type.

The veth driver currently only support XDP-hints based on SKB code path.
The SKB have lost information about the RSS hash type, by compressing
the information down to a single bitfield skb->l4_hash, that only knows
if this was a L4 hash value.

In preparation for veth, the xdp_rss_hash_type have an L4 indication
bit that allow us to return a meaningful L4 indication when working
with SKB based packets.

Looks good overall. Any reason we're making this specific layout?
Why not simply the following?

enum {
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_NONE = 0,
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_IPV4 = BIT(0),
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_IPV6 = BIT(1),
	/* IPv6 with extension header. */
	/* let's note ^^^ it in the UAPI? */
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_IPV6_EX = BIT(2),
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_UDP = BIT(3),
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_TCP = BIT(4),
	XDP_RSS_TYPE_SCTP = BIT(5),
}

And then using XDP_RSS_TYPE_IPV4|XDP_RSS_TYPE_UDP vs XDP_RSS_TYPE_IPV6|XXX ?

Would it be better to make use of the ETHTOOL_GRXFH defines (stuff
 like UDP_V6_FLOW, RXH_L4_B_0_1 etc.)?  Seems like that could allow
 for some code reuse in drivers.

One important goal is to have a simple/fast way to determining L3 vs L4,
because a L4 hash can be used for flow handling (e.g. load-balancing).

We below layout you can:

  if (rss_type & XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4_MASK)
	bool hw_hash_do_LB = true;

Or using it as a number:

  if (rss_type > XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4)
	bool hw_hash_do_LB = true;

I'm very open to changes to my "specific" layout.  I am in doubt if
using it as a number is the right approach and worth the trouble.

We know these bits for UDP, TCP, SCTP (and IPSEC) are exclusive, they
cannot be set at the same time, e.g. as a packet cannot both be UDP and
TCP.  Thus, using these bits as a number make sense to me, and is more
compact.

This BIT() approach also have the issue of extending it later (forward
compatibility).  As mentioned a common task will be to check if
hash-type is a L4 type.  See mlx5 [patch 4/4] needed to extend with
IPSEC. Notice how my XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4_MASK covers all the bits that this
can be extended with new L4 types, such that existing progs will still
work checking for L4 check.  It can of-cause be solved in the same way
for this BIT() approach by reserving some bits upfront in a mask.

Do notice, that I already does some level of or'ing ("|") in this
proposal.  The main difference is that I hide this from the driver, and
kind of pre-combine the valid combination (enum's) drivers can select
from. I do get the point, and I think I will come up with a combined
solution based on your input.


The RSS hashing types and combinations comes from M$ standards:

Thanks for the point to ethtool defines.
I can see that these are used when configuring the hardware RSS hash the
NIC should calculate.

From: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
  /* L3-L4 network traffic flow hash options */
  #define	RXH_L2DA	(1 << 1)
  #define	RXH_VLAN	(1 << 2)
  #define	RXH_L3_PROTO	(1 << 3)
  #define	RXH_IP_SRC	(1 << 4)
  #define	RXH_IP_DST	(1 << 5)
  #define	RXH_L4_B_0_1	(1 << 6) /* src port in case of TCP/UDP/SCTP */
  #define	RXH_L4_B_2_3	(1 << 7) /* dst port in case of TCP/UDP/SCTP */
  #define	RXH_DISCARD	(1 << 31)

I notice that I forgot about VLAN tag (RXH_VLAN) also can be part of the
hash calc in my proposed design.

It is interpreting to follow the possible ethool cmd->flow_type's:

  /* L2-L4 network traffic flow types */
  #define	TCP_V4_FLOW	0x01	/* hash or spec (tcp_ip4_spec) */
  #define	UDP_V4_FLOW	0x02	/* hash or spec (udp_ip4_spec) */
  #define	SCTP_V4_FLOW	0x03	/* hash or spec (sctp_ip4_spec) */
  #define	AH_ESP_V4_FLOW	0x04	/* hash only */
  #define	TCP_V6_FLOW	0x05	/* hash or spec (tcp_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	UDP_V6_FLOW	0x06	/* hash or spec (udp_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	SCTP_V6_FLOW	0x07	/* hash or spec (sctp_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	AH_ESP_V6_FLOW	0x08	/* hash only */
  #define	AH_V4_FLOW	0x09	/* hash or spec (ah_ip4_spec) */
  #define	ESP_V4_FLOW	0x0a	/* hash or spec (esp_ip4_spec) */
  #define	AH_V6_FLOW	0x0b	/* hash or spec (ah_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	ESP_V6_FLOW	0x0c	/* hash or spec (esp_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	IPV4_USER_FLOW	0x0d	/* spec only (usr_ip4_spec) */
  #define	IP_USER_FLOW	IPV4_USER_FLOW
  #define	IPV6_USER_FLOW	0x0e	/* spec only (usr_ip6_spec; nfc only) */
  #define	IPV4_FLOW	0x10	/* hash only */
  #define	IPV6_FLOW	0x11	/* hash only */
  #define	ETHER_FLOW	0x12	/* spec only (ether_spec) */
  /* Flag to enable additional fields in struct ethtool_rx_flow_spec */
  #define	FLOW_EXT	0x80000000
  #define	FLOW_MAC_EXT	0x40000000
  /* Flag to enable RSS spreading of traffic matching rule (nfc only) */
  #define	FLOW_RSS	0x20000000

It is clear that we need to support TCP+UDP+SCTP.

I assume the IPSEC is AH (Authentication Header) and ESP ( Encapsulating 
Security Payload.  Thus, (like I found with mlx5) we also need IPSET and 
maybe a bit (or number) for each protocol AH or ESP.

Both ah_ip4_spec and esp_ip4_spec points to ethtool.h struct:

/**
  * struct ethtool_ah_espip4_spec - flow specification for IPsec/IPv4
  * @ip4src: Source host
  * @ip4dst: Destination host
  * @spi: Security parameters index
  * @tos: Type-of-service
  *
  * This can be used to specify an IPsec transport or tunnel over IPv4.
  */
  struct ethtool_ah_espip4_spec {
	__be32	ip4src;
	__be32	ip4dst;
	__be32	spi;
	__u8    tos;
  };

Which confirms that it is the SPI that is the extra part of the hash.

Why is it strictly better then the following?

if (rss_type & (TYPE_UDP | TYPE_TCP | TYPE_SCTP)) {}

If we add some new L4 format, the bpf programs can be updated to support
it?

We're using 6 bits out of 64, we should be good for awhile? If there
is ever a forward compatibility issue, we can always come up with
a new kfunc.

One other related question I have is: should we export the type
over some additional new kfunc argument? (instead of abusing the return
type) Maybe that will let us drop the explicit BTF_TYPE_EMIT as well?

My main concern here is that we're over-complicating it with the masks
and the format. With the explicit bits we can easily map to that
spec you mention.

For example, for forward compat, I'm not sure we can assume that the people
will do:
	"rss_type & XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4_MASK"
instead of something like:
	"rss_type & (XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4_IPV4_TCP|XDP_RSS_TYPE_L4_IPV4_UDP)"

I want/need store the RSS-type in the xdp_frame, for XDP_REDIRECT and
SKB use-cases.  Thus, I don't want to use 64-bit/8-bytes, as xdp_frame
size is limited (given it reduces headroom expansion).

Good question. I was also wondering if it wouldn't be better to add
another kfunc argument with the rss_hash_type?

That will change the call signature, so that will not be easy to handle
between kernel releases.


> Maybe that will let us drop the explicit BTF_TYPE_EMIT as well?

Sure, if we define it as an argument, then it will automatically
exported as BTF.

See if you like my RFC-V2 proposal better.
It should go more in your direction.

This code is allowed in V2 and should be. It is a choice of
BPF-programmer in line-2 to not be forward compatible with newer L4 types.

This is the real question (as also raised above)...
Should we use return value or add an argument for type?

Yeah, I like it better. Btw, why have a separate bit for XDP_RSS_BIT_EX?
Any reason it's not a XDP_RSS_L3_IPV6_EX within XDP_RSS_L3_MASK?

And the following part seems like a leftover from the earlier version:

+/* For partitioning of xdp_rss_hash_type */
+#define RSS_L3		GENMASK(2,0) /* 3-bits = values between 1-7 */
+#define L4_BIT		BIT(3)       /* 1-bit - L4 indication */
+#define RSS_L4_IPV4	GENMASK(6,4) /* 3-bits */
+#define RSS_L4_IPV6	GENMASK(9,7) /* 3-bits */
+#define RSS_L4		GENMASK(9,3) /* = 7-bits - covering L4 IPV4+IPV6 */
+#define L4_IPV6_EX_BIT	BIT(9)       /* 1-bit - L4 IPv6 with Extension hdr  
*/
+				     /* 11-bits in total */

Let's fix the prototype while it's still early in the rc?
Maybe also extend the tests to drop/decode/verify the mask?

Yes, we can rename the EX bit define (which is in V2).  I reduced the
name-length, because it allowed to keep code on-one-line when OR'ing.

Hmm... I guess it belongs with L3.

Do notice that both IPv4 and IPv6 have a flexible header called either 
options/extensions headers, after their fixed header. (Mlx4 HW contains 
this info for IPv4, but I didn't extend xdp_rss_hash_type in that patch).
Thus, we could have a single BIT that is valid for both IPv4 and IPv6.
(This can help speedup packet parsing having this info).

The above code made me realize, I was wrong and you are right, we should
represent the L4 types as BITs (and not as numbers).
Even-though a single packet cannot be both UDP and TCP at the same time,
then it is reasonable to have a code path that want to match both UDP
and TCP.  If L4 types are BITs then code can do a single compare (via
ORing), while if they are numbers then we need more compares.
Thus, I'll change scheme in V3 to use BITs.

Okay, in V3 I will propose adding an argument for the type then.

> Maybe also extend the tests to drop/decode/verify the mask?

Yes, I/we obviously need to update the selftests.

One problem with selftests is that it's using veth SKB-based mode, and
SKB's have lost the RSS hash info and converted this into a single BIT
telling us if this was L4 based.  Thus, its hard to do some e.g. UDP
type verification, but I guess we can check if expected UDP packet is
RSS type L4.

In xdp_hw_metadata, I will add something that uses the RSS type bits.  I
was thinking to match against L4-UDP RSS type as program only AF_XDP
redirect UDP packets, so we can verify it was a UDP packet by HW info.

A separate bit for both v4/v6 sounds good. But thinking more about it,
not sure what the users are supposed to do with it. Whether the flow is  
hashed
over the extension header should a config option, not a per-packet signal?

So you are saying that the following:
	if (rss_type & (TCP|UDP)

is much faster than the following:
	proto = rss_type & L4_MASK;
	if (proto == TCP || proto == UDP)

?

idk, as long as we have enough bits to represent everything, I'm fine
with either way, up to you. (not sure how much you want to constrain the  
data
to fit it into xdp_frame; assuming u16 is fine?)

Microsoft defines which part of the IPv6 Extensions headers will be used 
for replacing either the Source (Home address) and Dest 
(Routing-Header-Type-2) IPv6 Addresses, in the hash calc, here[1]:

  [1] 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/rss-hashing-types#ndis_hash_ipv6_ex

The igc/i225 chip returns per-packet the RSS Type's with _EX added.
Thus, I implemented this per-packet basis.

For XDP every instruction/cycle counts.
Just to make sure, I tested it with godbolt.org, 3 vs 4 inst.
