From 735fc4054b3a25034445c6713d259da0f96f8131 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 16:46:12 +0200 Subject: xdp: change ndo_xdp_xmit API to support bulking This patch change the API for ndo_xdp_xmit to support bulking xdp_frames. When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, XDP sees a huge slowdown. Most of the slowdown is caused by DMA API indirect function calls, but also the net_device->ndo_xdp_xmit() call. Benchmarked patch with CONFIG_RETPOLINE, using xdp_redirect_map with single flow/core test (CPU E5-1650 v4 @ 3.60GHz), showed performance improved: for driver ixgbe: 6,042,682 pps -> 6,853,768 pps = +811,086 pps for driver i40e : 6,187,169 pps -> 6,724,519 pps = +537,350 pps With frames avail as a bulk inside the driver ndo_xdp_xmit call, further optimizations are possible, like bulk DMA-mapping for TX. Testing without CONFIG_RETPOLINE show the same performance for physical NIC drivers. The virtual NIC driver tun sees a huge performance boost, as it can avoid doing per frame producer locking, but instead amortize the locking cost over the bulk. V2: Fix compile errors reported by kbuild test robot V4: Isolated ndo, driver changes and callers.
