[PATCH net-next v4 0/9] xen-netback: TX grant mapping with SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY instead of copy

[PATCH net-next v4 0/9] xen-netback: TX grant mapping with SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY instead of copy

[Zoltan Kiss]

A long known problem of the upstream netback implementation that on the TX
path (from guest to Dom0) it copies the whole packet from guest memory into
Dom0. That simply became a bottleneck with 10Gb NICs, and generally it's a
huge perfomance penalty. The classic kernel version of netback used grant
mapping, and to get notified when the page can be unmapped, it used page
destructors. Unfortunately that destructor is not an upstreamable solution.
Ian Campbell's skb fragment destructor patch series [1] tried to solve this
problem, however it seems to be very invasive on the network stack's code,
and therefore haven't progressed very well.
This patch series use SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flags to tell the stack it needs to
know when the skb is freed up. That is the way KVM solved the same problem,
and based on my initial tests it can do the same for us. Avoiding the extra
copy boosted up TX throughput from 6.8 Gbps to 7.9 (I used a slower
Interlagos box, both Dom0 and guest on upstream kernel, on the same NUMA node,
running iperf 2.0.5, and the remote end was a bare metal box on the same 10Gb
switch)
Based on my investigations the packet get only copied if it is delivered to
Dom0 stack, which is due to this [2] patch. That's a bit unfortunate, but
luckily it doesn't cause a major regression for this usecase. In the future
we should try to eliminate that copy somehow.
There are a few spinoff tasks which will be addressed in separate patches:
- grant copy the header directly instead of map and memcpy. This should help
  us avoiding TLB flushing
- use something else than ballooned pages
- fix grant map to use page->index properly
I will run some more extensive tests, but some basic XenRT tests were already
passed with good results.
I've tried to broke it down to smaller patches, with mixed results, so I
welcome suggestions on that part as well:
1: Introduce TX grant map definitions
2: Change TX path from grant copy to mapping
3: Remove old TX grant copy definitons and fix indentations
4: Change RX path for mapped SKB fragments
5: Add stat counters for zerocopy
6: Handle guests with too many frags
7: Add stat counters for frag_list skbs
8: Timeout packets in RX path
9: Aggregate TX unmap operations

v2: I've fixed some smaller things, see the individual patches. I've added a
few new stat counters, and handling the important use case when an older guest
sends lots of slots. Instead of delayed copy now we timeout packets on the RX
path, based on the assumption that otherwise packets should get stucked
anywhere else. Finally some unmap batching to avoid too much TLB flush

v3: Apart from fixing a few things mentioned in responses the important change
is the use the hypercall directly for grant [un]mapping, therefore we can
avoid m2p override.

v4: Now we are using a new grant mapping API to avoid m2p_override. The RX queue
timeout logic changed also.

[PATCH net-next v4 1/9] xen-netback: Introduce TX grant map definitions

[Zoltan Kiss]

This patch contains the new definitions necessary for grant mapping.

v2:
- move unmapping to separate thread. The NAPI instance has to be scheduled
  even from thread context, which can cause huge delays
- that causes unfortunately bigger struct xenvif
- store grant handle after checking validity

v3:
- fix comment in xenvif_tx_dealloc_action()
- call unmap hypercall directly instead of gnttab_unmap_refs(), which does
  unnecessary m2p_override. Also remove pages_to_[un]map members
- BUG() if grant_tx_handle corrupted

v4:
- fix indentations and comments
- use bool for tx_dealloc_work_todo
- BUG() if grant_tx_handle corrupted - now really :)
- go back to gnttab_unmap_refs, now we rely on API changes

[PATCH net-next v4 2/9] xen-netback: Change TX path from grant copy to mapping

[Zoltan Kiss]

This patch changes the grant copy on the TX patch to grant mapping

v2:
- delete branch for handling fragmented packets fit PKT_PROT_LEN sized first
  request
- mark the effect of using ballooned pages in a comment
- place setting of skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags |= SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY right
  before netif_receive_skb, and mark the importance of it
- grab dealloc_lock before __napi_complete to avoid contention with the
  callback's napi_schedule
- handle fragmented packets where first request < PKT_PROT_LEN
- fix up error path when checksum_setup failed
- check before teardown for pending grants, and start complain if they are
  there after 10 second

v3:
- delete a surplus checking from tx_action
- remove stray line
- squash xenvif_idx_unmap changes into the first patch
- init spinlocks
- call map hypercall directly instead of gnttab_map_refs()
- fix unmapping timeout in xenvif_free()

v4:
- fix indentations and comments
- handle errors of set_phys_to_machine
- go back to gnttab_map_refs instead of direct hypercall. Now we rely on the
  modified API

[PATCH net-next v4 3/9] xen-netback: Remove old TX grant copy definitons and fix indentations

[Zoltan Kiss]

These became obsolate with grant mapping. I've left intentionally the
indentations in this way, to improve readability of previous patches.

v2:
- move the indentation fixup patch here

v4:
- indentation fixes

[PATCH net-next v4 5/9] xen-netback: Add stat counters for zerocopy

[Zoltan Kiss]

These counters help determine how often the buffers had to be copied. Also
they help find out if packets are leaked, as if "sent != success + fail",
there are probably packets never freed up properly.

[PATCH net-next v4 6/9] xen-netback: Handle guests with too many frags

[Zoltan Kiss]

Xen network protocol had implicit dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Netback has to
handle guests sending up to XEN_NETBK_LEGACY_SLOTS_MAX slots. To achieve that:
- create a new skb
- map the leftover slots to its frags (no linear buffer here!)
- chain it to the previous through skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list
- map them
- copy the whole stuff into a brand new skb and send it to the stack
- unmap the 2 old skb's pages

v3:
- adding extra check for frag number
- consolidate alloc_skb's into xenvif_alloc_skb()
- BUG_ON(frag_overflow > MAX_SKB_FRAGS)

v4:
- handle error of skb_copy_expand()

[PATCH net-next v4 8/9] xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path

[Zoltan Kiss]

A malicious or buggy guest can leave its queue filled indefinitely, in which
case qdisc start to queue packets for that VIF. If those packets came from an
another guest, it can block its slots and prevent shutdown. To avoid that, we
make sure the queue is drained in every 10 seconds.
The QDisc queue in worst case takes 3 round to flush usually.

v3:
- remove stale debug log
- tie unmap timeout in xenvif_free to this timeout

v4:
- due to RX flow control changes now start_xmit doesn't drop the packets but
  place them on the internal queue. So the timer set rx_queue_purge and kick in
  the thread to drop the packets there
- we shoot down the timer if a previously filled internal queue drains
- adjust the teardown timeout as in worst case it can take more time now

[PATCH net-next v4 9/9] xen-netback: Aggregate TX unmap operations

[Zoltan Kiss]

Unmapping causes TLB flushing, therefore we should make it in the largest
possible batches. However we shouldn't starve the guest for too long. So if
the guest has space for at least two big packets and we don't have at least a
quarter ring to unmap, delay it for at most 1 milisec.

v4:
- use bool for tx_dealloc_work_todo

Awkward mistake, I forgot to delete the hypercall ... Even more 
interesting, it caused troubles only very rarely ...

There is a stray blank line change in xenvif_tx_create_gop. (I removed
that part too early and didn't bother to paste it back...)

There's no call to set_phys_to_machine in this patch. Did I miss

At the beginning of the function there's BUG_ON checks for vif->task. I
would suggest you do the same for vif->dealloc_task, just to be
consistent.

Please move this line before the above hunk. Don't separate it from
corresponding kthread_create.

Last but not least, though I've looked at this patch for several rounds
and and the basic logic looks correct to me, I would like it to go
through XenRT tests if possible -- eye inspection is error-prone to such
complicated change. (If I'm not mistaken you once told me you've done
regression tests already. That would be neat!)

This, and other occurences of netdev_* logs need to be rate limit.
Otherwise you risk flooding kernel log when system is under memory
pressure.

Why is this needed? nskb is the saved pointer to original skb, which has
already had SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY in tx_flags. Did I miss something?

Yep, this series doesn't work without that patch (actually that is a bug 
in netback even without my series), so at the moment it is based on it.

It calculates how many times you should ditch the internal queue of an 
another (maybe stucked) vif before Qdisc empties it's actual content. 
After that there shouldn't be any mapped handle left, so we should start 
printing these messages. Actually it should use vif->dev->tx_queue_len, 
and yes, it is probably better to move it to the beginning of the 
function into a new variable, and use that here.

Why is relative to tx queue length?

What's the meaning of drain_timeout multipled by the last part
(DIV_ROUND_UP)?

If you proposed to use vif->dev->tx_queue_len to replace DIV_ROUND_UP
then ignore the above question. But I still don't understand the
rationale behind this. Could you elaborate a bit more? Wouldn't
rx_drain_timeout_msecs/1000 along suffice?

I've made several changes between v3 and v4 about the grant mapping 
stuff, this was an earlier concept, not the one I've finally sent in. It 
should be the same comment as in the first patch: "go back to 
gnttab_map_refs, now we rely on API changes"

Done, I've also used task for dealloc thread creation, the same way as 
the rx thread does.

Yes, that's ongoing, I don't expect the patches to be accepted before 
they pass XenRT.

Indeed. This actually belongs to the header grant copy patches I've sent 
in as well. I move it there.

Here we want to avoid timeout messages if an skb can be legitimatly 
stucked somewhere else. As we discussed earlier, realisticly this could 
be an another vif's internal or QDisc queue. That another vif also has 
this rx_drain_timeout_msecs timeout, but now with Paul's recent changes 
the timer only ditches the internal queue. After that, the QDisc queue 
can put in worst case XEN_NETIF_RX_RING_SIZE / MAX_SKB_FRAGS skbs into 
that another vif's internal queue, so we need several rounds of such 
timeouts until we can be sure that no another vif should have skb's from 
us. We are not sending more skb's, so newly stucked packets are not 
interesting for us here.
But actually using the current vif's queue length is not relevant in 
this calculation, as it doesn't mean other vif's has the same. I think 
it is better to stick with XENVIF_QUEUE_LENGTH.
I've added this explanation as a comment and moved the calculation into 
a separate variable, so it doesn't cause such long lines.
