[PATCH iwl-next 0/5] idpf: add XSk support

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

 



Add support for XSk xmit and receive using libeth_xdp.

This includes adding interfaces to reconfigure/enable/disable only
a particular set of queues and support for checksum offload XSk Tx
metadata.
libeth_xdp's implementation mostly matches the one of ice: batched
allocations and sending, unrolled descriptor writes etc. But unlike
other Intel drivers, XSk wakeup is implemented using CSD/IPI instead
of HW "software interrupt". In lots of different tests, this yielded
way better perf than SW interrupts, but also, this gives better
control over which CPU will handle the NAPI loop (SW interrupts are
a subject to irqbalance and stuff, while CSDs are strictly pinned
1:1 to the core of the same index).
Note that the header split is always disabled for XSk queues, as
for now we see no reasons to have it there.

XSk xmit perf is up to 3x comparing to ice. XSk XDP_PASS is also
faster a bunch as it uses system percpu page_pools, so that the
only overlead left is memcpy(). The rest is at least comparable.

Apply to either net-next or next-queue, but *before* Pavan's series.

Testing hints:

For testing XSk, you can use basic xdpsock from [0]. There are 3 modes:
`rxdrop` will check XSk Rx, `txonly` -- XSk xmit, `l2fwd` takes care of
both. You can run several instances on different queues.
To get the best perf, make sure xdpsock isn't run on the same CPU which
is responsible for the corresponding NIC queue handling (official XSk
documentation).
