Now that the stack supports UDP GRO, we can enable udp gso for virtual
devices. If packets are looped back locally, and UDP GRO is not enabled
then they will be segmented to gso_size via udp_rcv_segment(). This
essentiallly just reverts: 8eea1ca gso: limit udp gso to egress-only
virtual devices.

Tested by connecting two namespaces via macvlan and then ran
udpgso_bench_tx:

before:
udp tx:   2068 MB/s    35085 calls/s  35085 msg/s

after (no UDP_GRO):
udp tx:   3438 MB/s    58319 calls/s  58319 msg/s

after (UDP_GRO):
udp tx:   8037 MB/s   136314 calls/s 136314 msg/s

Are you adding this to NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL? Wouldn't it make more
sense to add it to NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE?

Yes, I'm adding to NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL (not very clear from the
context). I will fix the commit log.

In: 83aa025 udp: add gso support to virtual devices, the support was
also added to NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL (although subsequently reverted due
to UDP GRO not being in place), so I wonder what the reason was for that?

I agree that NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE seems conceptually more logical and
further I think it adds support for more 'virtual' devices. For example,
I tested loopback with NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 being added to
NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE and it shows a nice performance gain, whereas
NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL isn't included for loopback.

Thanks,

-Jason

That was probably just a bad choice on my part.

It worked in practice, but if NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE works the same
without unexpected side effects, then I agree that it is the better choice.

That choice does appear to change behavior when sending over tunnel
devices. Might it send tunneled GSO packets over loopback?

I set up a test case using fou tunneling through a bridge device using
the udpgso_bench_tx test where packets are not received correctly if
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 is added to NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE. If I have it added
to NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL, it does work correctly. So there are more
fixes required to include it in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE.

The use-case I have only requires it to be in NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL, but
if it needs to go in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE, I can look at what's required
more next week.

Thanks,

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to investigate what goes wrong with including
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 in NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE - but I was just wondering if
people are ok with NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 being added to
NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL and not NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE (ie the original
patch as posted)?

As I mentioned that is sufficient for my use-case, and its how Willem
originally proposed this.

Thanks,

-Jason

Indeed, based on the previous discussion this sounds fine to me.

Are you OK to ACK this? If not, is there something else you'd rather see 
here?
