Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] bnxt: Use generic HBH removal helper in tx path
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2022 15:27:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221122232740.3180560-2-lixiaoyan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221122232740.3180560-1-lixiaoyan@google.com>

Eric Dumazet implemented Big TCP that allowed bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes
for IPv6 traffic. See patch series:
'commit 89527be8d8d6 ("net: add IFLA_TSO_{MAX_SIZE|SEGS} attributes")'

This reduces the number of packets traversing the networking stack and
should usually improves performance. However, it also inserts a
temporary Hop-by-hop IPv6 extension header.

Using the HBH header removal method in the previous path, the extra header
be removed in bnxt drivers to allow it to send big TCP packets (bigger
TSO packets) as well.

If bnxt folks could help with testing this patch on the driver (as I
don't have access to one) that would be wonderful. Thank you!

Tested:
Compiled locally

To further test functional correctness, update the GSO/GRO limit on the
physical NIC:

ip link set eth0 gso_max_size 181000
ip link set eth0 gro_max_size 181000

Note that if there are bonding or ipvan devices on top of the physical
NIC, their GSO sizes need to be updated as well.

Then, IPv6/TCP packets with sizes larger than 64k can be observed.
