This patch enhances vmxnet3 to support latency measurement.
This support will help to track the latency in packet processing
between guest virtual nic driver and host. For this purpose, we
introduce a new timestamp ring in vmxnet3 which will be per Tx/Rx
queue. This ring will be used to carry timestamp of the packets
which will be used to calculate the latency.
User can enable latency measurement using realtime knob in vnic
setting in VCenter.

The patch adds native-mode XDP support: XDP DROP, PASS, TX, and REDIRECT.
Background:
The vmxnet3 rx consists of three rings: ring0, ring1, and dataring.
For r0 and r1, buffers at r0 are allocated using alloc_skb APIs and dma
mapped to the ring's descriptor. If LRO is enabled and packet size larger
than 3K, VMXNET3_MAX_SKB_BUF_SIZE, then r1 is used to mapped the rest of
the buffer larger than VMXNET3_MAX_SKB_BUF_SIZE. Each buffer in r1 is
allocated using alloc_page. So for LRO packets, the payload will be in one
buffer from r0 and multiple from r1, for non-LRO packets, only one
descriptor in r0 is used for packet size less than 3k.
When receiving a packet, the first descriptor will have the sop (start of
packet) bit set, and the last descriptor will have the eop (end of packet)
bit set. Non-LRO packets will have only one descriptor with both sop and
eop set.
Other than r0 and r1, vmxnet3 dataring is specifically designed for
handling packets with small size, usually 128 bytes, defined in
VMXNET3_DEF_RXDATA_DESC_SIZE, by simply copying the packet from the backend
driver in ESXi to the ring's memory region at front-end vmxnet3 driver, in
order to avoid memory mapping/unmapping overhead. In summary, packet size:
A. < 128B: use dataring
B. 128B - 3K: use ring0 (VMXNET3_RX_BUF_SKB)
C. > 3K: use ring0 and ring1 (VMXNET3_RX_BUF_SKB + VMXNET3_RX_BUF_PAGE)
As a result, the patch adds XDP support for packets using dataring
and r0 (case A and B), not the large packet size when LRO is enabled.
XDP Implementation:
When user loads and XDP prog, vmxnet3 driver checks configurations, such
as mtu, lro, and re-allocate the rx buffer size for reserving the extra
headroom, XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, for XDP frame. The XDP prog will then be
associated with every rx queue of the device. Note that when using dataring
for small packet size, vmxnet3 (front-end driver) doesn't control the
buffer allocation, as a result we allocate a new page and copy packet
from the dataring to XDP frame.
The receive side of XDP is implemented for case A and B, by invoking the
bpf program at vmxnet3_rq_rx_complete and handle its returned action.
The vmxnet3_process_xdp(), vmxnet3_process_xdp_small() function handles
the ring0 and dataring case separately, and decides the next journey of
the packet afterward.
For TX, vmxnet3 has split header design. Outgoing packets are parsed
first and protocol headers (L2/L3/L4) are copied to the backend. The
rest of the payload are dma mapped. Since XDP_TX does not parse the
packet protocol, the entire XDP frame is dma mapped for transmission
and transmitted in a batch. Later on, the frame is freed and recycled
back to the memory pool.
Performance:
Tested using two VMs inside one ESXi vSphere 7.0 machine, using single
core on each vmxnet3 device, sender using DPDK testpmd tx-mode attached
to vmxnet3 device, sending 64B or 512B UDP packet.
VM1 txgen:
$ dpdk-testpmd -l 0-3 -n 1 -- -i --nb-cores=3 \
--forward-mode=txonly --eth-peer=0,<mac addr of vm2>
option: add "--txonly-multi-flow"
option: use --txpkts=512 or 64 byte
VM2 running XDP:
$ ./samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info -d ens160 -a <options> --skb-mode
$ ./samples/bpf/xdp_rxq_info -d ens160 -a <options>
options: XDP_DROP, XDP_PASS, XDP_TX
To test REDIRECT to cpu 0, use
$ ./samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu -d ens160 -c 0 -e drop
Single core performance comparison with skb-mode.
64B: skb-mode -> native-mode
XDP_DROP: 1.6Mpps -> 2.4Mpps
XDP_PASS: 338Kpps -> 367Kpps
XDP_TX: 1.1Mpps -> 2.3Mpps

This patch adds a new command to set ring buffer sizes. This is
required to pass the buffer size information to passthrough devices.
For performance reasons, with version7 and later, ring1 will contain
only mtu size buffers (bound to 3K). Packets > 3K will use both ring1
and ring2.
Also, ring sizes are round down to power of 2 and ring2 default
size is increased to 512.

out of order completion descriptor is expected. With UPT, if
hardware supports LRO, then hardware can report out of order
rx completions. This patch enhances vmxnet3 to add this support.
This supports gets effective only when the corresponding feature
bit is set.

This patch enhances vmxnet3 to suuport capability registers which
allows it to enable features selectively. The DCR register tracks
the capabilities vmxnet3 device supports. The PTCR register states
the capabilities that the passthrough device supports.
With the help of these registers, vmxnet3 can enable only those
features which the passthrough device supoprts. This allows
smooth trasition to Uniform-Passthrough (UPT) mode if the virtual
nic requests it. If PTCR register returns nothing or error it means
UPT is not being requested and vnic will continue in emulation mode.

buf_info structures in RX & TX queues are private driver data that
do not need to be visible to the device. Although there is physical
address and length in the queue descriptor that points to these
structures, their layout is not standardized, and device never looks
at them.
So lets allocate these structures in non-DMA-able memory, and fill
physical address as all-ones and length as zero in the queue
descriptor.
That should alleviate worries brought by Martin Radev in
https://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/intel-wired-lan/Week-of-Mon-20210104/022829.html

Vmxnet3 version 3 device supports checksum/TSO offload. Thus, vNIC to
pNIC traffic can leverage hardware checksum/TSO offloads. However,
vmxnet3 does not support checksum/TSO offload for Geneve/VXLAN
encapsulated packets. Thus, for a vNIC configured with an overlay, the
guest stack must first segment the inner packet, compute the inner
checksum for each segment and encapsulate each segment before
transmitting the packet via the vNIC. This results in significant
performance penalty.
This patch will enhance vmxnet3 to support Geneve/VXLAN TSO as well as
checksum offload.

'Commit 45dac1d6ea04 ("vmxnet3: Changes for vmxnet3 adapter version 2
(fwd)")' introduced a flag "lro" in structure vmxnet3_adapter which is
used to indicate whether LRO is enabled or not. However, the patch
did not set the flag and hence it was never exercised.
So, when LRO is enabled, it resulted in poor TCP performance due to
delayed acks. This issue is seen with packets which are larger than
the mss getting a delayed ack rather than an immediate ack, thus
resulting in high latency.
This patch removes the lro flag and directly uses device features
against NETIF_F_LRO to check if lro is enabled.

The field txNumDeferred is used by the driver to keep track of the number
of packets it has pushed to the emulation. The driver increments it on
pushing the packet to the emulation and the emulation resets it to 0 at
the end of the transmit.
There is a possibility of a race either when (a) ESX is under heavy load or
(b) workload inside VM is of low packet rate.
This race results in xmit hangs when network coalescing is disabled. This
change creates a local copy of txNumDeferred and uses it to perform ring
arithmetic.

There are several reasons for increasing the receive ring sizes:
1. The original ring size of 256 was chosen about 10 years ago when
vmxnet3 was first created. At that time, 10Gbps Ethernet was not prevalent
and servers were dominated by 1Gbps Ethernet. Now 10Gbps is common place,
and higher bandwidth links -- 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50Gbps -- are starting
to appear. 256 Rx ring entries are simply not enough to keep up with
higher link speed when there is a burst of network frames coming from
these high speed links. Even with full MTU size frames, they are gone
in a short time. It is also more common to have a mix of frame sizes,
and more likely bi-modal distribution of frame sizes so the average frame
size is not close to full MTU. If we consider average frame size of 800B,
1024 frames that come in a burst takes ~0.65 ms to arrive at 10Gbps. With
256 entires, it takes ~0.16 ms to arrive at 10Gbps. At 25Gbps or 40Gbps,
this time is reduced accordingly.
2. On a hypervisor where there are many VMs and CPU is over committed,
i.e. the number of VCPUs is more than the number of VCPUs, each PCPU is
in effect time shared between multiple VMs/VCPUs. The time granularity at
which this multiplexing occurs is typically coarser than between processes
on a guest OS. Trying to time slice more finely is not efficient, for
example, if memory cache is barely warmed up when switching from one VM
to another occurs. This CPU overcommit adds delay to when the driver
in a VM can service incoming packets. Whether CPU is over committed
really depends on customer workloads. For certain situations, it is very
common. For example, workloads of desktop VMs and product testing setups.
Consolidation and sharing is what drives efficiency of a customer setup
for such workloads. In these situations, the raw network bandwidth may
not be very high, but the delays between when a VM is running or not
running can also be relatively long.

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the
buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the
guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it.
To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive
data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by
the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the
emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be
copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used.
Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini
