[PATCH net-next v3 00/27] virtio-net: support AF_XDP zero copy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



## AF_XDP

XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero
copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The
performance of zero copy is very good. mlx5 and intel ixgbe already support
this feature, This patch set allows virtio-net to support xsk's zerocopy xmit
feature.

At present, we have completed some preparation:

1. vq-reset (virtio spec and kernel code)
2. virtio-core premapped dma
3. virtio-net xdp refactor

So it is time for Virtio-Net to complete the support for the XDP Socket
Zerocopy.

Virtio-net can not increase the queue num at will, so xsk shares the queue with
kernel.

On the other hand, Virtio-Net does not support generate interrupt from driver
manually, so when we wakeup tx xmit, we used some tips. If the CPU run by TX
NAPI last time is other CPUs, use IPI to wake up NAPI on the remote CPU. If it
is also the local CPU, then we wake up napi directly.

This patch set includes some refactor to the virtio-net to let that to support
AF_XDP.

## performance

ENV: Qemu with vhost-user(polling mode).
Host CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8163 CPU @ 2.50GHz

But AF_XDP consumes more CPU for tx and rx napi(100% and 86%).

## maintain

I am currently a reviewer for virtio-net. I commit to maintain AF_XDP support in
virtio-net.

Please review.

Thanks.

v3
    1. virtio introduces helpers for virtio-net sq using premapped dma
    2. xsk has more complete support for merge mode
    3. fix some problems

v2
    1. wakeup uses the way of GVE. No send ipi to wakeup napi on remote cpu.
    2. remove rcu. Because we synchronize all operat, so the rcu is not needed.
    3. split the commit "move to virtio_net.h" in last patch set. Just move the
       struct/api to header when we use them.
    4. add comments for some code

v1:
    1. remove two virtio commits. Push this patchset to net-next
    2. squash "virtio_net: virtnet_poll_tx support rescheduled" to xsk: support tx
    3. fix some warnings
