This patchset utilize a number of different kernel bulk APIs for optimizing the performance for the XDP cpumap redirect feature. Benchmark details are available here: https://github.com/xdp-project/xdp-project/blob/master/areas/cpumap/cpumap03-optimizations.org Performance measurements can be considered micro benchmarks, as they measure dropping packets at different stages in the network stack. Summary based on above: Baseline benchmarks - baseline-redirect: UdpNoPorts: 3,180,074 - baseline-redirect: iptables-raw drop: 6,193,534 Patch1: bpf: cpumap use ptr_ring_consume_batched - redirect: UdpNoPorts: 3,327,729 - redirect: iptables-raw drop: 6,321,540 Patch2: net: core: introduce build_skb_around - redirect: UdpNoPorts: 3,221,303 - redirect: iptables-raw drop: 6,320,066 Patch3: bpf: cpumap do bulk allocation of SKBs - redirect: UdpNoPorts: 3,290,563 - redirect: iptables-raw drop: 6,650,112 Patch4: bpf: cpumap memory prefetchw optimizations for struct page - redirect: UdpNoPorts: 3,520,250 - redirect: iptables-raw drop: 7,649,604 In this V2 submission I have chosen drop the SKB-list patch using netif_receive_skb_list() as it was not showing a performance improvement for these micro benchmarks. --- Jesper Dangaard Brouer (4): bpf: cpumap use ptr_ring_consume_batched net: core: introduce build_skb_around bpf: cpumap do bulk allocation of SKBs bpf: cpumap memory prefetchw optimizations for struct page include/linux/skbuff.h | 2 + kernel/bpf/cpumap.c | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- net/core/skbuff.c | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 3 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) --
