burst=1 is the default. It sends one packet with xmit_more=false
burst=2 sends one packet with xmit_more=true and
2nd copy of the same packet with xmit_more=false
burst=3 sends two copies of the same packet with xmit_more=true and
3rd copy with xmit_more=false
Performance with ixgbe (usec 30):
burst=1 tx:9.2 Mpps
burst=2 tx:13.5 Mpps
burst=3 tx:14.5 Mpps full 10G line rate

Then testing the TX limits of the stack, then it is useful to
be-able to disable the do_gettimeofday() timetamping on every packet.
This implements a pktgen flag NO_TIMESTAMP which will disable this
call to do_gettimeofday().
The performance change on (my system E5-2695) with skb_clone=0, goes
from TX 2,423,751 pps to 2,567,165 pps with flag NO_TIMESTAMP. Thus,
the cost of do_gettimeofday() or saving is approx 23 nanosec.

The if_lock()/if_unlock() in next_to_run() adds a significant
overhead, because its called for every packet in busy loop of
pktgen_thread_worker(). (Thomas Graf originally pointed me
at this lock problem).
Removing these two "LOCK" operations should in theory save us approx
16ns (8ns x 2), as illustrated below we do save 16ns when removing
the locks and introducing RCU protection.
Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, TX-size=512, rx-usecs=30:
(single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
* Prev : 5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
* RCU-fix: 6272204 pps --> 159.43ns (1/6272204*10^9)
* Diff : +588195 pps --> -16.50ns
To understand this RCU patch, I describe the pktgen thread model
below.
In pktgen there is several kernel threads, but there is only one CPU
running each kernel thread. Communication with the kernel threads are
done through some thread control flags. This allow the thread to
change data structures at a know synchronization point, see main
thread func pktgen_thread_worker().
Userspace changes are communicated through proc-file writes. There
are three types of changes, general control changes "pgctrl"
(func:pgctrl_write), thread changes "kpktgend_X"
(func:pktgen_thread_write), and interface config changes "etcX@N"
(func:pktgen_if_write).
Userspace "pgctrl" and "thread" changes are synchronized via the mutex
pktgen_thread_lock, thus only a single userspace instance can run.
The mutex is taken while the packet generator is running, by pgctrl
"start". Thus e.g. "add_device" cannot be invoked when pktgen is
running/started.
All "pgctrl" and all "thread" changes, except thread "add_device",
communicate via the thread control flags. The main problem is the
exception "add_device", that modifies threads "if_list" directly.
Fortunately "add_device" cannot be invoked while pktgen is running.
But there exists a race between "rem_device_all" and "add_device"
(which normally don't occur, because "rem_device_all" waits 125ms
before returning). Background'ing "rem_device_all" and running
"add_device" immediately allow the race to occur.
The race affects the threads (list of devices) "if_list". The if_lock
is used for protecting this "if_list". Other readers are given
lock-free access to the list under RCU read sections.
Note, interface config changes (via proc) can occur while pktgen is
running, which worries me a bit. I'm assuming proc_remove() takes
appropriate locks, to assure no writers exists after proc_remove()
finish.
I've been running a script exercising the race condition (leading me
to fix the proc_remove order), without any issues. The script also
exercises concurrent proc writes, while the interface config is
getting removed.

Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
pktgen_thread_worker(). In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.
The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
is LOCK prefixed. I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
8ns on this E5-2630 CPU. Performance increase corrolate with this
measurement.

Similarly to commit 43279500de ("packet: respect devices with
LLTX flag in direct xmit"), we can basically apply the very same
to pktgen. This will help testing against LLTX devices such as
dummy driver (or others), which only have a single netdevice txq
and would otherwise require locking their txq from pktgen side
while e.g. in dummy case, we would not need any locking. Fix this
by making use of HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will
be respected.

If a privileged user writes an empty string to /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
the code for stripping the (then non-existent) '\n' actually writes the
zero byte at index -1 of data[]. The then still uninitialized array will
very likely fail the command matching tests and the pr_warning() at the
end will therefore leak stack bytes to the kernel log.
Fix those issues by simply ensuring we're passed a non-empty string as
the user API apparently expects a trailing '\n' for all commands.

User could set specific SPI value to arm pktgen flow with IPsec
transformation, instead of looking up SA by sadr/daddr. The reaseon
to do so is because current state lookup scheme is both slow and, most
important of all, in fact pktgen doesn't need to match any SA state
addresses information, all it needs is the SA transfromation shell to
do the encapuslation.
And this option also provide user an alternative to using pktgen

commit a553e4a631 ("[PKTGEN]: IPSEC support")
tried to support IPsec ESP transport transformation for pktgen, but acctually
this doesn't work at all for two reasons(The orignal transformed packet has
bad IPv4 checksum value, as well as wrong auth value, reported by wireshark)
- After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update,
because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text.
- After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload
has been changed.
With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to
decrypted ESP packet generated by pktgen without any IPv4 checksum error or
auth value error.

This patch corrects the problem by adding a wrapper to return skb tail as

For IPv6, sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) = 40, thus the following
expression will result negative:
datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 -
sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) -
pkt_dev->pkt_overhead;
And, the check "if (datalen < sizeof(struct pktgen_hdr))" will be
passed as "datalen" is promoted to unsigned, therefore will cause
a crash later.
This is a quick fix by checking if "datalen" is negative. The following
patch will increase the default value of 'min_pkt_size' for IPv6.
