Series net: intel: start The Great Code Dedup + Page Pool for iavf | expand

Commit Message

Alexander Lobakin May 30, 2023, 3 p.m. UTC
Now that the IAVF driver simply uses dev_alloc_page() + free_page() with
no custom recycling logics and one whole page per frame, it can easily
be switched to using Page Pool API instead.
Introduce libie_rx_page_pool_create(), a wrapper for creating a PP with
the default libie settings applicable to all Intel hardware, and replace
the alloc/free calls with the corresponding PP functions, including the
newly added sync-for-CPU helpers. Use skb_mark_for_recycle() to bring
back the recycling and restore the initial performance.

From the important object code changes, worth mentioning that
__iavf_alloc_rx_pages() is now inlined due to the greatly reduced size.
The resulting driver is on par with the pre-series code and 1-2% slower
than the "optimized" version right before the recycling removal.
But the number of locs and object code bytes slaughtered is much more
important here after all, not speaking of that there's still a vast
space for optimization and improvements.

Did we make a change to our coding style to allow declaration of
variables inside of for statements? Just wondering if this is a change
since the recent updates to the ISO C standard, or if this doesn't
match up with what we would expect per the coding standard.

Not a fan of this switching back and forth between being a page pool
pointer and a dev pointer. Seems problematic as it is easily
misinterpreted. I would say that at a minimum stick to either it is
page_pool(Rx) or dev(Tx) on a ring type basis.

This setup works for iavf, however for i40e/ice you may run into issues
since the setup_rx_descriptors call is also used to setup the ethtool
loopback test w/o a napi struct as I recall so there may not be a
q_vector.

Would it make more sense to have the page pool in the q_vector rather
than the ring? Essentially the page pool is associated per napi
instance so it seems like it would make more sense to store it with the
napi struct rather than potentially have multiple instances per napi.

It's optional right now, nobody would object declaring it either way.
Doing it inside is allowed since we switched to C11, right.
Here I did that because my heart was breaking to see this little u16
alone (and yeah, u16 on the stack).

The problem is that page_pool has lifetime from ifup to ifdown, while
its ring lives longer. So I had to do something with this, but also I
didn't want to have 2 pointers at the same time since it's redundant and
+8 bytes to the ring for nothing.

I'll handle that. Somehow :D Thanks for noticing, I'll take a look
whether I should do something right now or it can be done later when
switching the actual mentioned drivers.

As per Page Pool design, you should have it per ring. Plus you have
rxq_info (XDP-related structure), which is also per-ring and
participates in recycling in some cases. So I wouldn't complicate.
I went down the chain and haven't found any place where having more than
1 PP per NAPI would break anything. If I got it correctly, Jakub's
optimization discourages having 1 PP per several NAPIs (or scheduling
one NAPI on different CPUs), but not the other way around. The goal was
to exclude concurrent access to one PP from different threads, and here
it's impossible.
Lemme know. I can always disable NAPI optimization for cases when one
vector is shared by several queues -- and it's not a usual case for
these NICs anyway -- but I haven't found a reason for that.

Yeah, that was back when I was declaring stack variables the exact
same size as the ring parameters. So u16 should match the size of
rx_ring->count not that it matters. It was just a quirk I had at the
time.

It might be better to just go with NULL rather than populating it w/
two different possible values. Then at least you know if it is an
rx_ring it is a page_pool and if it is a tx_ring it is dev. You can
reset to the page pool when you repopulate the rest of the ring.

The xdp_rxq can be mapped many:1 to the page pool if I am not mistaken.

The only reason why I am a fan of trying to keep the page_pool tightly
associated with the napi instance is because the napi instance is what
essentially is guaranteeing the page_pool is consistent as it is only
accessed by that one napi instance.

I suppose we should be fine if we have a many to one mapping though I
suppose. As you said the issue would be if multiple NAPI were
accessing the same page pool.

IIRC I did that to have struct device pointer at the moment of creating
page_pools. But sounds reasonable, I'll take a look.

Here we can't have more than one NAPI instance accessing one page_pool,
so I did that unconditionally. I'm a fan of what you've said, too :p
