net: Identifier Locator Addressing - Part I
This patch set provides rudimentary support for Identifier Locator
Addressing or ILA. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an IPv6
address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The identifier is
the identity of an entity in communication ("who"), and the locator
expresses the location of the entity ("where"). Applications
use externally visible address that contains the identifier.
When a packet is actually sent, a translation is done that
overwrites the first 64 bits of the address with a locator.
The packet can then be forwarded over the network to the host where
the addressed entity is located. At the receiver, the reverse
translation is done so the that the application sees the original,
untranslated address. Presumably an external control plane will
provide identifier->locator mappings.
v2:
- Fix compilation erros when LWT not configured
- Consolidate ILA into a single ila.c
v3:
- Change pseudohdr argument od inet_proto_csum_replace functions to
be a bool
v4:
- In ila_build_state check locator being in netlink params before
allocating tunnel state
The data path for ILA is a simple NAT translation that only operates
on the upper 64 bits of a destination address in IPv6 packets. The
basic process is:
1) Lookup 64 bit identifier (lower 64 bits of destination)
2) If a match is found
a) Overwrite locator (upper 64 bits of destination) with
the new locator
b) Adjust any checksum that has destination address included in
pseudo header
3) Send or receive packet
ILA is a means to implement tunnels or network virtualization without
encapsulation. Since there is no encapsulation involved, we assume that
stateless support in the network for IPv6 (e.g. RSS, ECMP, TSO, etc.)
just works. Also, since we're minimally changing the packet many of
the worries about encapsulation (MTU, checksum, fragmentation) are
not relevant. The downside is that, ILA is not extensible like other
encapsulations (GUE for instance) so it might not be appropriate for
all use cases. Also, this only makes sense to do in IPv6!
A key aspect of ILA is performance. The intent is that ILA would be
used in data centers in virtualizing tasks or jobs. In the fullest
incarnation all intra data center communications might be targeted to
virtual ILA addresses. This is basically adding a new virtualization
capability to the existing services in a datacenter, so there is a
strong expectation is that this does not degrade performance for
existing applications.
Performance seems to be dependent on how ILA is hooked into kernel.
ILA can be implemented under some different models:
- Mechanically it is a form a stateless DNAT
- It can be thought of as a type of (source) routing
- As a functional replacement of encapsulation
In this patch set we hook into the data path using Light Weight
Tunnels (LWT) infrastructure. As part of that, we add support in LWT
to redirect dst input. iproute will be modified to take a new ila encap
type. ILA can be configured like:
ip route add 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:2:0/128 \
encap ila 2001:0:0:2 via 2401:db00:20:911a:face:0:27:0
ip -6 addr add 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:1:0/128 dev eth0
ip route add table local local 2001:0:0:1:5555:0:1:0/128
encap ila 3333:0:0:1 dev lo
So sending to destination 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:2:0 will have destination
of 2001:0:0:2:5555:0:2:0 on the wire.
Performance results are below. With ILA we see about a 10% drop in
pps compared to non-ILA. Much of this drop can be attributed to the
loss of early demux on input (translation occurs after it is attempted).
We will address this in the next patch set. Also, IPvlan input path
does not work with ILA since the routing is bypassed-- this will
be addressed in a future patch.
Performance testing:
Performing netperf TCP_RR with 200 clients:
Non-ILA baseline
84.92% CPU utilization
1861922.9 tps
93/163/330 50/90/99% latencies
ILA single destination
83.16% CPU utilization

105/180/332 50/90/99% latencies

Adding new module name ila. This implements ILA translation. Light
weight tunnel redirection is used to perform the translation in
the data path. This is configured by the "ip -6 route" command
using the "encap ila <locator>" option, where <locator> is the
value to set in destination locator of the packet. e.g.
ip -6 route add 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:1:0/128 \
encap ila 2001:0:0:1 via 2401:db00:20:911a:face:0:25:0

enic: add devcmd2
This series adds new devcmd2 support. The first two patches are code

devcmd is an interface for driver to communicate with fw/adaptor. It
involves writing data to hardware registers and waiting for the result.
This mechanism does not scale well. The queuing of "no wait" devcmds is
done in firmware memory rather than on the host. Firmware memory is a
rather more scarce and valuable resource than host memory. A devcmd storm
from one vf can disrupt the service on other pf/vf. The lack of flow
control allows for possible denial of server from one VM to another.
Devcmd2 uses work queue to post the devcmds, just like tx work queue. This
allows better flow control.

After having tested insertion, lookup, table walk and removal, spawn a
number of threads running operations on the same rhashtable. Each of
them will:
1) insert it's own set of objects,
2) lookup every successfully inserted object and finally
3) remove objects in several rounds until all of them have been removed,
making sure the remaining ones are still found after each round.
This should put a good amount of load onto the system and due to
synchronising thread startup via two semaphores also extensive
concurrent table access.
The default number of ten threads returned within half a second on my
local VM with two cores. Running 200 threads took about four seconds. If
slow systems suffer too much from this though, the default could be
lowered or even set to zero so this extended test does not run at all by

====================
net: introduce IFF_NO_QUEUE as successor of zero tx_queue_len
This series adds a new private net_device flag indicating that a device may
(and probably should) be used without a queueing discipline attached to it.
This is already common practice for many virtual device types like e.g.
loopback, VLAN (802.1Q) or bridges (802.1D). The reason for this is that these
devices lack an underlying layer which could impose back pressure and therefore
making a TX queue necessary to not slow down senders.
Up to now, drivers being aware of the above applying to them set
dev->tx_queue_len to zero to indicate no qdisc should be attached to the
interface they drive and the kernel reacts upon this by assigning the noop
qdisc instead of the default pfifo_fast. This implicit agreement though leads
to an inconvenient situation once a user tries to attach a real qdisc to these
devices, as the formerly special tx_queue_len value becomes a regular one,
limiting the queue to zero packets and thus prevents any TX from happening. To
overcome this, practically all qdisc implementations intercept and sanitize the
malicious value.
With this series applied, drivers may signal the lack of need for a qdisc
without having to tamper with tx_queue_len, making fallbacks in qdiscs and
caveats in userspace unnecessary.
Upon upstream acceptance, this series will be followed up by a set of patches
converting device drivers, adding a warning so out-of-tree driver authors get
aware of this change and dropping all special handling of tx_queue_len in
net/sched/.
