When I implemented virtio's hash-related features to tun/tap [1],
I found tun/tap does not fill the entire region reserved for the virtio
header, leaving some uninitialized hole in the middle of the buffer
after read()/recvmesg().
This series fills the uninitialized hole. More concretely, the
num_buffers field will be initialized with 1, and the other fields will
be inialized with 0. Setting the num_buffers field to 1 is mandated by
virtio 1.0 [2].
The change to virtio header is preceded by another change that refactors
tun and tap to unify their virtio-related code.

net: xilinx: axienet: Enable adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM
To improve performance without sacrificing latency under low load,
enable DIM. While I appreciate not having to write the library myself, I
do think there are many unusual aspects to DIM, as detailed in the last
patch.

net: xilinx: axienet: Enable adaptive IRQ coalescing with DIM
The default RX IRQ coalescing settings of one IRQ per packet can represent
a significant CPU load. However, increasing the coalescing unilaterally
can result in undesirable latency under low load. Adaptive IRQ
coalescing with DIM offers a way to adjust the coalescing settings based
on load.
This device only supports "CQE" mode [1], where each packet resets the
timer. Therefore, an interrupt is fired either when we receive
coalesce_count_rx packets or when the interface is idle for
coalesce_usec_rx. With this in mind, consider the following scenarios:
Link saturated
Here we want to set coalesce_count_rx to a large value, in order to
coalesce more packets and reduce CPU load. coalesce_usec_rx should
be set to at least the time for one packet. Otherwise the link will
be "idle" and we will get an interrupt for each packet anyway.
Bursts of packets
Each burst should be coalesced into a single interrupt, although it
may be prudent to reduce coalesce_count_rx for better latency.
coalesce_usec_rx should be set to at least the time for one packet
so bursts are coalesced. However, additional time beyond the packet
time will just increase latency at the end of a burst.
Sporadic packets
Due to low load, we can set coalesce_count_rx to 1 in order to
reduce latency to the minimum. coalesce_usec_rx does not matter in
this case.
Based on this analysis, I expected the CQE profiles to look something
like
I found this very surprising. The number of coalesced packets
*decreases* as load increases. But as load increases we have more
opportunities to coalesce packets without affecting latency as much.
Additionally, the profile *increases* the usec as the load increases.
But as load increases, the gaps between packets will tend to become
smaller, making it possible to *decrease* usec for better latency at the
end of a "burst".
I consider the default CQE profile unsuitable for this NIC. Therefore,
we use the first profile outlined in this commit instead.
coalesce_usec_rx is set to 16 by default, but the user can customize it.
This may be necessary if they are using jumbo frames. I think adjusting
the profile times based on the link speed/mtu would be good improvement
for generic DIM.
In addition to the above profile problems, I noticed the following
additional issues with DIM while testing:
- DIM tends to "wander" when at low load, since the performance gradient
is pretty flat. If you only have 10p/ms anyway then adjusting the
coalescing settings will not affect throughput very much.
- DIM takes a long time to adjust back to low indices when load is
decreased following a period of high load. This is because it only
re-evaluates its settings once every 64 interrupts. However, at low
load 64 interrupts can be several seconds.
Finally: performance. This patch increases receive throughput with
iperf3 from 840 Mbits/sec to 938 Mbits/sec, decreases interrupts from
69920/sec to 316/sec, and decreases CPU utilization (4x Cortex-A53) from
43% to 9%.

net: xilinx: axienet: Get coalesce parameters from driver state
The cr variables now contain the same values as the control registers
themselves. Extract/calculate the values from the variables instead of
saving the user-specified values. This allows us to remove some
bookeeping, and also lets the user know what the actual coalesce
settings are.

net: xilinx: axienet: Support adjusting coalesce settings while running
In preparation for adaptive IRQ coalescing, we first need to support
adjusting the settings at runtime. The existing code doesn't require any
locking because
- dma_start is the only function that modifies rx/tx_dma_cr. It is
always called with IRQs and NAPI disabled, so nothing else is touching
the hardware.
- The IRQs don't race with poll, since the latter is a softirq.
- The IRQs don't race with dma_stop since they both just clear the
control registers.
- dma_stop doesn't race with poll since the former is called with NAPI
disabled.
However, once we introduce another function that modifies rx/tx_dma_cr,
we need to have some locking to prevent races. Introduce two locks to
protect these variables and their registers.
The control register values are now generated where the coalescing
settings are set. Converting coalescing settings to control register
values may require sleeping because of clk_get_rate. However, the
read/modify/write of the control registers themselves can't sleep
because it needs to happen in IRQ context. By pre-calculating the
control register values, we avoid introducing an additional mutex.
Since axienet_dma_start writes the control settings when it runs, we
don't bother updating the CR registers when rx/tx_dma_started is false.
This prevents any issues from writing to the control registers in the
middle of a reset sequence.

this:
meta = pool->addrs + addr - pool->tx_metadata_len;

Add xsk_buff_raw_get_ctx() (xp_raw_get_ctx() to be precise) to do that
in one go. It returns a small structure with 2 fields: DMA address,
filled unconditionally, and metadata pointer, non-NULL only if it's
present and valid. The address correction is performed only once and
you also have only 1 external call per XSk frame, which does all the
calculations and checks outside of your hotpath. You only need to
check `if (ctx.meta)` for the metadata presence.
To not copy any existing code, derive address correction and getting
virtual and DMA address into small helpers. bloat-o-meter reports no

Example usage:
#define UNROLL_BATCH 8
unrolled_count(UNROLL_BATCH)
for (u32 i = 0; i < UNROLL_BATCH; i++)
op(priv, i);
Note that sometimes the compilers won't unroll loops if they think this
would have worse optimization and perf than without unrolling, and that
unroll attributes are available only starting GCC 8. For older compiler
versions, no hints/attributes will be applied.
For better unrolling/parallelization, don't have any variables that
interfere between iterations except for the iterator itself.

netconsole: Add support for CPU population
The current implementation of netconsole sends all log messages in
parallel, which can lead to an intermixed and interleaved output on the
receiving side. This makes it challenging to demultiplex the messages
and attribute them to their originating CPUs.
As a result, users and developers often struggle to effectively analyze
and debug the parallel log output received through netconsole.
Example of a message got from produciton hosts:
------------[ cut here ]------------
------------[ cut here ]------------

This series of patches introduces a new feature to the netconsole
subsystem that allows the automatic population of the CPU number in the
userdata field for each log message. This enhancement provides several
benefits:
* Improved demultiplexing of parallel log output: When multiple CPUs are
sending messages concurrently, the added CPU number in the userdata
makes it easier to differentiate and attribute the messages to their
originating CPUs.
* Better visibility into message sources: The CPU number information
gives users and developers more insight into which specific CPU a
particular log message came from, which can be valuable for debugging
and analysis.
The changes in this series are as follows Patches::
Patch "consolidate send buffers into netconsole_target struct"
=================================================
Move the static buffers to netconsole target, from static declaration
in send_msg_no_fragmentation() and send_msg_fragmented().
Patch "netconsole: Rename userdata to extradata"
=================================================
Create the a concept of extradata, which encompasses the concept of
userdata and the upcoming sysdatao
Sysdata is a new concept being added, which is basically fields that are
populated by the kernel. At this time only the CPU#, but, there is a
desire to add current task name, kernel release version, etc.
Patch "netconsole: Helper to count number of used entries"
===========================================================
Create a simple helper to count number of entries in extradata. I am
separating this in a function since it will need to count userdata and
sysdata. For instance, when the user adds an extra userdata, we need to
check if there is space, counting the previous data entries (from
userdata and cpu data)
Patch "Introduce configfs helpers for sysdata features"
======================================================
Create the concept of sysdata feature in the netconsole target, and
create the configfs helpers to enable the bit in nt->sysdata
Patch "Include sysdata in extradata entry count"
================================================
Add the concept of sysdata when counting for available space in the
buffer. This will protect users from creating new userdata/sysdata if
there is no more space
Patch "netconsole: add support for sysdata and CPU population"
===============================================================
This is the core patch. Basically add a new option to enable automatic
CPU number population in the netconsole userdata Provides a new "cpu_nr"
sysfs attribute to control this feature
Patch "netconsole: selftest: test CPU number auto-population"
=============================================================
Expands the existing netconsole selftest to verify the CPU number
auto-population functionality Ensures the received netconsole messages
contain the expected "cpu=<CPU>" entry in the message. Test different
permutation with userdata
Patch "netconsole: docs: Add documentation for CPU number auto-population"
=============================================================================
Updates the netconsole documentation to explain the new CPU number
auto-population feature Provides instructions on how to enable and use
the feature
I believe these changes will be a valuable addition to the netconsole
subsystem, enhancing its usefulness for kernel developers and users.

net: improve core queue API handling while device is down
The core netdev_rx_queue_restart() doesn't currently take into account
that the device may be down. The current and proposed queue API
implementations deal with this by rejecting queue API calls while
the device is down. We can do better, in theory we can still allow
devmem binding when the device is down - we shouldn't stop and start
the queues just try to allocate the memory. The reason we allocate
the memory is that memory provider binding checks if any compatible
page pool has been created (page_pool_check_memory_provider()).
Alternatively we could reject installing MP while the device is down
but the MP assignment survives ifdown (so presumably MP doesn't cease
to exist while down), and in general we allow configuration while down.
Previously I thought we need this as a fix, but gve rejects page pool
calls while down, and so did Saeed in the patches he posted. So this
series just makes the core act more sensibly but practically should
be a noop for now.

====================
ice: managing MSI-X in driver
Michal Swiatkowski says:
It is another try to allow user to manage amount of MSI-X used for each
feature in ice. First was via devlink resources API, it wasn't accepted
in upstream. Also static MSI-X allocation using devlink resources isn't
really user friendly.
This try is using more dynamic way. "Dynamic" across whole kernel when
platform supports it and "dynamic" across the driver when not.
To achieve that reuse global devlink parameter pf_msix_max and
pf_msix_min. It fits how ice hardware counts MSI-X. In case of ice amount
of MSI-X reported on PCI is a whole MSI-X for the card (with MSI-X for
VFs also). Having pf_msix_max allow user to statically set how many
MSI-X he wants on PF and how many should be reserved for VFs.
pf_msix_min is used to set minimum number of MSI-X with which ice driver
should probe correctly.
Meaning of this field in case of dynamic vs static allocation:
- on system with dynamic MSI-X allocation support
* alloc pf_msix_min as static, rest will be allocated dynamically
- on system without dynamic MSI-X allocation support
* try alloc pf_msix_max as static, minimum acceptable result is
pf_msix_min
As Jesse and Piotr suggested pf_msix_max and pf_msix_min can (an
probably should) be stored in NVM. This patchset isn't implementing
that.
Dynamic (kernel or driver) way means that splitting MSI-X across the
RDMA and eth in case there is a MSI-X shortage isn't correct. Can work
when dynamic is only on driver site, but can't when dynamic is on kernel
site.
Let's remove this code and move to MSI-X allocation feature by feature.
If there is no more MSI-X for a feature, a feature is working with less
MSI-X or it is turned off.
There is a regression here. With MSI-X splitting user can run RDMA and
eth even on system with not enough MSI-X. Now only eth will work. RDMA
can be turned on by changing number of PF queues (lowering) and reprobe
RDMA driver.
Example:
72 CPU number, eth, RDMA and flow director (1 MSI-X), 1 MSI-X for OICR
on PF, and 1 more for RDMA. Card is using 1 + 72 + 1 + 72 + 1 = 147.
After this changes we have a static base vector for SRIOV (SIOV probably
in the feature). Last patch from this series is simplifying managing VF
MSI-X code based on static vector.
Now changing queues using ethtool is also changing MSI-X. If there is
enough MSI-X it is always one to one. When there is not enough there
will be more queues than MSI-X.

David Wei says:
====================
io_uring zero copy rx
This patchset contains net/ patches needed by a new io_uring request
implementing zero copy rx into userspace pages, eliminating a kernel
to user copy.
We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue to
hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends up
hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace memory
directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel memory. 'Reading'
data out of a socket instead becomes a _notification_ mechanism, where
the kernel tells userspace where the data is. The overall approach is
similar to the devmem TCP proposal.
This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to ensure
packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired flows hit a hw
rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this is outside of the
scope of this patchset.
We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is that
io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects are bound
to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new io_uring request
type. When done, data is returned via a new shared refill queue. A zero
copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this refill queue directly. Of
course, the lifetime of these data buffers are managed by io_uring
rather than the networking stack, with different refcounting rules.
This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We will
extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically allocated
zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved copy fallback,
general optimisations and more.
In terms of netdev support, we're first targeting Broadcom bnxt. Patches
aren't included since Taehee Yoo has already sent a more comprehensive
patchset adding support in [1]. Google gve should already support this,
and Mellanox mlx5 support is WIP pending driver changes.
