Add XDP support based on rx page_pool allocator, one frame per page.
Page pool allocator is used with assumption that only one rx_handler
is running simultaneously. DMA map/unmap is reused from page pool
despite there is no need to map whole page.
Due to specific of cpsw, the same TX/RX handler can be used by 2
network devices, so special fields in buffer are added to identify
an interface the frame is destined to. Thus XDP works for both
interfaces, that allows to test xdp redirect between two interfaces
easily. Aslo, each rx queue have own page pools, but common for both
netdevs.
Looking at the details what happen when a single RX-queue can receive
into multiple net_device'es. I realize that this driver will
violate/kill some of the "hidden"/implicit RX-bulking that the
XDP_REDIRECT code depend on for performance.
Specifically, it violate this assumption:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.2-rc7/kernel/bpf/devmap.c#L324-L329
/* Ingress dev_rx will be the same for all xdp_frame's in
* bulk_queue, because bq stored per-CPU and must be flushed
* from net_device drivers NAPI func end.
*/
if (!bq->dev_rx)
bq->dev_rx = dev_rx;
This drivers "NAPI func end", can have received into multiple
net_devices, before it's NAPI cycle ends. Thus, violating this code
assumption.
). I said, I moved to be per device in rx_handler. It violates nothing.
Knowing all xdp_frame's in the bulk queue is from the same net_device,
can be used to further optimize XDP. E.g. the dev->netdev_ops->ndo_xdp_xmit()
call don't take fully advantage of this, yet. If we merge this driver,
it will block optimizations in this area.
NACK
Jesper,
Seems I said that I moved it to flush, that does
dev->netdev_ops->ndo_xdp_xmit(), to rx_handler, so that it's done per device,
so device is knows per each flush.
In the code, I hope everyone can see ..., after each flush dev_rx is cleared
to 0. So no any impact on it.
As for me, it's very not clear and strange decision.
