xdpxceiver run on a AF_XDP ZC enabled driver revealed a problem with XSK
Tx batching API. There is a test that checks how invalid Tx descriptors
are handled by AF_XDP. Each valid descriptor is followed by invalid one
on Tx side whereas the Rx side expects only to receive a set of valid
descriptors.
In current xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch() function, the amount of
available descriptors is hidden inside xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch(). This
can be problematic in cases where invalid descriptors are present due to
the fact that xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() returns only a count of valid
descriptors. This means that it is impossible to properly update XSK
ring state when calling xskq_cons_release_n().
To address this issue, pull out the contents of
xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() so that callers (currently only
xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch()) will always be able to update the
state of ring properly, as total count of entries is now available and
use this value as an argument in xskq_cons_release_n(). By
doing so, xskq_cons_peek_desc_batch() can be dropped altogether.

The error codes returned by xdp_do_redirect() when redirecting a frame
to an AF_XDP socket has not been very useful. A driver could not
distinguish between different errors. Prior this change the following
codes where used:
Socket not bound or incorrect queue/netdev: EINVAL
XDP frame/AF_XDP buffer size mismatch: ENOSPC
Could not allocate buffer (copy mode): ENOSPC
AF_XDP Rx buffer full: ENOSPC
After this change:
Socket not bound or incorrect queue/netdev: EINVAL
XDP frame/AF_XDP buffer size mismatch: ENOSPC
Could not allocate buffer (copy mode): ENOMEM
AF_XDP Rx buffer full: ENOBUFS
An AF_XDP zero-copy driver can now potentially determine if the
failure was due to a full Rx buffer, and if so stop processing more
frames, yielding to the userland AF_XDP application.

Move desc_array from the driver to the pool. The reason behind this is
that we can then reuse this array as a temporary storage for descriptors

Add a new driver interface xsk_buff_alloc_batch() offering batched
buffer allocations to improve performance. The new interface takes
three arguments: the buffer pool to allocated from, a pointer to an
array of struct xdp_buff pointers which will contain pointers to the
allocated xdp_buffs, and an unsigned integer specifying the max number
of buffers to allocate. The return value is the actual number of
buffers that the allocator managed to allocate and it will be in the
range 0 <= N <= max, where max is the third parameter to the function.
u32 xsk_buff_alloc_batch(struct xsk_buff_pool *pool, struct xdp_buff **xdp,
u32 max);
A second driver interface is also introduced that need to be used in
conjunction with xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). It is a helper that sets the
size of struct xdp_buff and is used by the NIC Rx irq routine when
receiving a packet. This helper sets the three struct members data,
data_meta, and data_end. The two first ones is in the xsk_buff_alloc()
case set in the allocation routine and data_end is set when a packet
is received in the receive irq function. This unfortunately leads to
worse performance since the xdp_buff is touched twice with a long time
period in between leading to an extra cache miss. Instead, we fill out
the xdp_buff with all 3 fields at one single point in time in the
driver, when the size of the packet is known. Hence this helper. Note
that the driver has to use this helper (or set all three fields
itself) when using xsk_buff_alloc_batch(). xsk_buff_alloc() works as
before and does not require this.

Fix broken Tx ring validation for AF_XDP. The commit under the Fixes
tag, fixed an off-by-one error in the validation but introduced
another error. Descriptors are now let through even if they straddle a
chunk boundary which they are not allowed to do in aligned mode. Worse
is that they are let through even if they straddle the end of the umem
itself, tricking the kernel to read data outside the allowed umem
region which might or might not be mapped at all.
Fix this by reintroducing the old code, but subtract the length by one
to fix the off-by-one error that the original patch was
addressing. The test chunk != chunk_end makes sure packets do not
straddle chunk boundraries. Note that packets of zero length are
allowed in the interface, therefore the test if the length is
non-zero.

Currently, the AF_XDP rings uses general smp_{r,w,}mb() barriers on
the kernel-side. On most modern architectures
load-acquire/store-release barriers perform better, and results in
simpler code for circular ring buffers.
This change updates the XDP socket rings to use
load-acquire/store-release barriers.
It is important to note that changing from the old smp_{r,w,}mb()
barriers, to load-acquire/store-release barriers does not break
compatibility. The old semantics work with the new one, and vice
versa.
As pointed out by "Documentation/memory-barriers.txt" in the "SMP
BARRIER PAIRING" section:
"General barriers pair with each other, though they also pair with
most other types of barriers, albeit without multicopy atomicity.
An acquire barrier pairs with a release barrier, but both may also
pair with other barriers, including of course general barriers."
How different barriers behaves and pairs is outlined in
"tools/memory-model/Documentation/cheatsheet.txt".
In order to make sure that compatibility is not broken, LKMM herd7
based litmus tests can be constructed and verified.
We generalize the XDP socket ring to a one entry ring, and create two
scenarios; One where the ring is full, where only the consumer can
proceed, followed by the producer. One where the ring is empty, where
only the producer can proceed, followed by the consumer. Each scenario
is then expanded to four different tests: general producer/general
consumer, general producer/acqrel consumer, acqrel producer/general
consumer, acqrel producer/acqrel consumer. In total eight tests.
The empty ring test:
C spsc-rb+empty
// Simple one entry ring:
// prod cons allowed action prod cons
// 0 0 => prod => 1 0
// 0 1 => cons => 0 0
// 1 0 => cons => 1 1
// 1 1 => prod => 0 1
{}
// We start at prod==0, cons==0, data==0, i.e. nothing has been
// written to the ring. From here only the producer can start, and
// should write 1. Afterwards, consumer can continue and read 1 to
// data. Can we enter state prod==1, cons==1, but consumer observed
// the incorrect value of 0?
P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
... producer
}
P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
... consumer
}
exists( 1:d=0 /\ prod=1 /\ cons=1 );
The full ring test:
C spsc-rb+full
// Simple one entry ring:
// prod cons allowed action prod cons
// 0 0 => prod => 1 0
// 0 1 => cons => 0 0
// 1 0 => cons => 1 1
// 1 1 => prod => 0 1
{ prod = 1; }
// We start at prod==1, cons==0, data==1, i.e. producer has
// written 0, so from here only the consumer can start, and should
// consume 0. Afterwards, producer can continue and write 1 to
// data. Can we enter state prod==0, cons==1, but consumer observed
// the write of 1?
P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
... producer
}
P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
... consumer
}
exists( 1:d=1 /\ prod=0 /\ cons=1 );
where P0 and P1 are:
P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
int p;
p = READ_ONCE(*prod);
if (READ_ONCE(*cons) == p) {
WRITE_ONCE(*data, 1);
smp_wmb();
WRITE_ONCE(*prod, p ^ 1);
}
}
P0(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
int p;
p = READ_ONCE(*prod);
if (READ_ONCE(*cons) == p) {
WRITE_ONCE(*data, 1);
smp_store_release(prod, p ^ 1);
}
}
P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
int c;
int d = -1;
c = READ_ONCE(*cons);
if (READ_ONCE(*prod) != c) {
smp_rmb();
d = READ_ONCE(*data);
smp_mb();
WRITE_ONCE(*cons, c ^ 1);
}
}
P1(int *prod, int *cons, int *data)
{
int c;
int d = -1;
c = READ_ONCE(*cons);
if (smp_load_acquire(prod) != c) {
d = READ_ONCE(*data);
smp_store_release(cons, c ^ 1);
}
}
The full LKMM litmus tests are found at [1].
On x86-64 systems the l2fwd AF_XDP xdpsock sample performance
increases by 1%. This is mostly due to that the smp_mb() is removed,
which is a relatively expensive operation on these
platforms. Weakly-ordered platforms, such as ARM64 might benefit even
more.

Rollback the reservation in the completion ring when we get a
NETDEV_TX_BUSY. When this error is received from the driver, we are
supposed to let the user application retry the transmit again. And in
order to do this, we need to roll back the failed send so it can be
retried. Unfortunately, we did not cancel the reservation we had made
in the completion ring. By not doing this, we actually make the
completion ring one entry smaller per NETDEV_TX_BUSY error we get, and
after enough of these errors the completion ring will be of size zero
and transmit will stop working.
Fix this by cancelling the reservation when we get a NETDEV_TX_BUSY
error.

In order to simplify AF_XDP zero-copy enablement for NIC driver
developers, a new AF_XDP buffer allocation API is added. The
implementation is based on a single core (single producer/consumer)
buffer pool for the AF_XDP UMEM.
A buffer is allocated using the xsk_buff_alloc() function, and
returned using xsk_buff_free(). If a buffer is disassociated with the
pool, e.g. when a buffer is passed to an AF_XDP socket, a buffer is
said to be released. Currently, the release function is only used by
the AF_XDP internals and not visible to the driver.
Drivers using this API should register the XDP memory model with the
new MEM_TYPE_XSK_BUFF_POOL type.
The API is defined in net/xdp_sock_drv.h.
The buffer type is struct xdp_buff, and follows the lifetime of
regular xdp_buffs, i.e. the lifetime of an xdp_buff is restricted to
a NAPI context. In other words, the API is not replacing xdp_frames.
In addition to introducing the API and implementations, the AF_XDP
core is migrated to use the new APIs.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

The commit 4b638f13ba ("xsk: Eliminate the RX batch size")
introduced a much more lazy way of updating the global consumer
pointers from the kernel side, by only doing so when running out of
entries in the fill or Tx rings (the rings consumed by the
kernel). This can result in a deadlock with the user application if
the kernel requires more than one entry to proceed and the application
cannot put these entries in the fill ring because the kernel has not
updated the global consumer pointer since the ring is not empty.
Fix this by publishing the local kernel side consumer pointer whenever
we have completed Rx or Tx processing in the kernel. This way, user
space will have an up-to-date view of the consumer pointers whenever it
gets to execute in the one core case (application and driver on the
same core), or after a certain number of packets have been processed
in the two core case (application and driver on different cores).
A side effect of this patch is that the one core case gets better
performance, but the two core case gets worse. The reason that the one
core case improves is that updating the global consumer pointer is
relatively cheap since the application by definition is not running
when the kernel is (they are on the same core) and it is beneficial
for the application, once it gets to run, to have pointers that are
as up to date as possible since it then can operate on more packets
and buffers. In the two core case, the most important performance
aspect is to minimize the number of accesses to the global pointers
since they are shared between two cores and bounces between the caches
of those cores. This patch results in more updates to global state,
which means lower performance in the two core case.

There are two unnecessary READ_ONCE of descriptor data. These are not
needed since the data is written by the producer before it signals
that the data is available by incrementing the producer pointer. As the
access to this producer pointer is serialized and the consumer always
reads the descriptor after it has read and synchronized with the
producer counter, the write of the descriptor will have fully
completed and it does not matter if the consumer has any read tearing.

Change the names of the validation functions to better reflect what
they are doing. The uppermost ones are reading entries from the rings
and only the bottom ones validate entries. So xskq_cons_read_ is a
better prefix name.
Also change the xskq_cons_read_ functions to return a bool
as the the descriptor or address is already returned by reference
in the parameters. Everyone is using the return value as a bool
anyway.

Simplify and refactor consumer ring functions. The consumer first
"peeks" to find descriptors or addresses that are available to
read from the ring, then reads them and finally "releases" these
descriptors once it is done. The two local variables cons_tail
and cons_head are turned into one single variable called
cached_cons. cached_tail referred to the cached value of the
global consumer pointer and will be stored in cached_cons. For
cached_head, we just use cached_prod instead as it was not used
for a consumer queue before. It also better reflects what it
really is now: a cached copy of the producer pointer.
The names of the functions are also renamed in the same manner as
the producer functions. The new functions are called xskq_cons_
followed by what it does.

In the xsk consumer ring code there is a variable called RX_BATCH_SIZE
that dictates the minimum number of entries that we try to grab from
the fill and Tx rings. In fact, the code always try to grab the
maximum amount of entries from these rings. The only thing this
variable does is to throw an error if there is less than 16 (as it is
defined) entries on the ring. There is no reason to do this and it
will just lead to weird behavior from user space's point of view. So
eliminate this variable.
With this change, we will be able to simplify the xskq_nb_free and
xskq_nb_avail code in the next commit.

Adopt the naming of the producer ring access functions to have a
similar naming convention as the functions in libbpf, but adapted to
the kernel. You first reserve a number of entries that you later
submit to the global state of the ring. This is much clearer, IMO,
than the one that was in the kernel part. Once renamed, we also
discover that two functions are actually the same, so remove one of
them. Some of the primitive ring submission operations are also the
same so break these out into __xskq_prod_submit that the upper level
ring access functions can use.

Currently, the xsk ring code has two cached producer pointers:
prod_head and prod_tail. This patch consolidates these two into a
single one called cached_prod to make the code simpler and easier to
maintain. This will be in line with the user space part of the the
code found in libbpf, that only uses a single cached pointer.
The Rx path only uses the two top level functions
xskq_produce_batch_desc and xskq_produce_flush_desc and they both use
prod_head and never prod_tail. So just move them over to
cached_prod.
The Tx XDP_DRV path uses xskq_produce_addr_lazy and
xskq_produce_flush_addr_n and unnecessarily operates on both prod_tail
and prod_head, so move them over to just use cached_prod by skipping
the intermediate step of updating prod_tail.
The Tx path in XDP_SKB mode uses xskq_reserve_addr and
xskq_produce_addr. They currently use both cached pointers, but we can
operate on the global producer pointer in xskq_produce_addr since it
has to be updated anyway, thus eliminating the use of both cached
pointers. We can also remove the xskq_nb_free in xskq_produce_addr
since it is already called in xskq_reserve_addr. No need to do it
twice.
When there is only one cached producer pointer, we can also simplify
xskq_nb_free by removing one argument.

In order to set the correct return flags for poll, the xsk code has to
check if the Rx queue is empty and if the Tx queue is full. This code
was unnecessarily large and complex as it used the functions that are
used to update the local state from the global state (xskq_nb_free and
xskq_nb_avail). Since we are not doing this nor updating any data
dependent on this state, we can simplify the functions. Another
benefit from this is that we can also simplify the xskq_nb_free and
xskq_nb_avail functions in a later commit.

The lazy update threshold was introduced to keep the producer and
consumer some distance apart in the completion ring. This was
important in the beginning of the development of AF_XDP as the ring
format as that point in time was very sensitive to the producer and
consumer being on the same cache line. This is not the case
anymore as the current ring format does not degrade in any noticeable
way when this happens. Moreover, this threshold makes it impossible
to run the system with rings that have less than 128 entries.
So let us remove this threshold and just get one entry from the ring
as in all other functions. This will enable us to remove this function
in a later commit. Note that xskq_produce_addr_lazy followed by
xskq_produce_flush_addr_n are still not the same function as
xskq_produce_addr() as it operates on another cached pointer.

Currently, addresses are chunk size aligned. This means, we are very
restricted in terms of where we can place chunk within the umem. For
example, if we have a chunk size of 2k, then our chunks can only be placed
at 0,2k,4k,6k,8k... and so on (ie. every 2k starting from 0).
This patch introduces the ability to use unaligned chunks. With these
changes, we are no longer bound to having to place chunks at a 2k (or
whatever your chunk size is) interval. Since we are no longer dealing with
aligned chunks, they can now cross page boundaries. Checks for page
contiguity have been added in order to keep track of which pages are
followed by a physically contiguous page.

This commit adds support for a new flag called need_wakeup in the
AF_XDP Tx and fill rings. When this flag is set, it means that the
application has to explicitly wake up the kernel Rx (for the bit in
the fill ring) or kernel Tx (for bit in the Tx ring) processing by
issuing a syscall. Poll() can wake up both depending on the flags
submitted and sendto() will wake up tx processing only.
The main reason for introducing this new flag is to be able to
efficiently support the case when application and driver is executing
on the same core. Previously, the driver was just busy-spinning on the
fill ring if it ran out of buffers in the HW and there were none on
the fill ring. This approach works when the application is running on
another core as it can replenish the fill ring while the driver is
busy-spinning. Though, this is a lousy approach if both of them are
running on the same core as the probability of the fill ring getting
more entries when the driver is busy-spinning is zero. With this new
feature the driver now sets the need_wakeup flag and returns to the
application. The application can then replenish the fill queue and
then explicitly wake up the Rx processing in the kernel using the
syscall poll(). For Tx, the flag is only set to one if the driver has
no outstanding Tx completion interrupts. If it has some, the flag is
zero as it will be woken up by a completion interrupt anyway.
As a nice side effect, this new flag also improves the performance of
the case where application and driver are running on two different
cores as it reduces the number of syscalls to the kernel. The kernel
tells user space if it needs to be woken up by a syscall, and this
eliminates many of the syscalls.
This flag needs some simple driver support. If the driver does not
support this, the Rx flag is always zero and the Tx flag is always
one. This makes any application relying on this feature default to the
old behaviour of not requiring any syscalls in the Rx path and always
having to call sendto() in the Tx path.
For backwards compatibility reasons, this feature has to be explicitly
turned on using a new bind flag (XDP_USE_NEED_WAKEUP). I recommend
that you always turn it on as it so far always have had a positive
performance impact.
The name and inspiration of the flag has been taken from io_uring by
Jens Axboe. Details about this feature in io_uring can be found in
http://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf, section 8.3.

The ring buffer code of XDP sockets is missing a memory barrier on the
consumer side between the load of the data and the write that signals
that it is ok for the producer to put new data into the buffer. On
architectures that does not guarantee that stores are not reordered
with older loads, the producer might put data into the ring before the
consumer had the chance to read it. As IA does guarantee this
ordering, it would only need a compiler barrier here, but there are no
primitives in Linux for this specific case (hinder writes to be ordered
before older reads) so I had to add a smp_mb() here which will
translate into a run-time synch operation on IA.
Added a longish comment in the code explaining what each barrier in
the ring implementation accomplishes and what would happen if we
removed one of them.

Passing a non-existing option in the options member of struct
xdp_desc was, incorrectly, silently ignored. This patch addresses
that behavior, and drops any Tx descriptor with non-existing options.
We have examined existing user space code, and to our best knowledge,
no one is relying on the current incorrect behavior. AF_XDP is still
in its infancy, so from our perspective, the risk of breakage is very
low, and addressing this problem now is important.

Currently, AF_XDP only supports a fixed frame-size memory scheme where
each frame is referenced via an index (idx). A user passes the frame
index to the kernel, and the kernel acts upon the data. Some NICs,
however, do not have a fixed frame-size model, instead they have a
model where a memory window is passed to the hardware and multiple
frames are filled into that window (referred to as the "type-writer"
model).
By changing the descriptor format from the current frame index
addressing scheme, AF_XDP can in the future be extended to support
these kinds of NICs.
In the index-based model, an idx refers to a frame of size
frame_size. Addressing a frame in the UMEM is done by offseting the
UMEM starting address by a global offset, idx * frame_size + offset.
Communicating via the fill- and completion-rings are done by means of
idx.
In this commit, the idx is removed in favor of an address (addr),
which is a relative address ranging over the UMEM. To convert an
idx-based address to the new addr is simply: addr = idx * frame_size +
offset.
We also stop referring to the UMEM "frame" as a frame. Instead it is
simply called a chunk.
To transfer ownership of a chunk to the kernel, the addr of the chunk
is passed in the fill-ring. Note, that the kernel will mask addr to
make it chunk aligned, so there is no need for userspace to do
that. E.g., for a chunk size of 2k, passing an addr of 2048, 2050 or
3000 to the fill-ring will refer to the same chunk.
On the completion-ring, the addr will match that of the Tx descriptor,
passed to the kernel.
Changing the descriptor format to use chunks/addr will allow for
future changes to move to a type-writer based model, where multiple
frames can reside in one chunk. In this model passing one single chunk
into the fill-ring, would potentially result in multiple Rx
descriptors.
This commit changes the uapi of AF_XDP sockets, and updates the
documentation.
