tipc: emulate multicast through replication
TIPC multicast messages are currently distributed via L2 broadcast
or IP multicast to all nodes in the cluster, irrespective of the
number of real destinations of the message.
In this series we introduce an option to transport messages via
replication ("replicast") across a selected number of unicast links,
instead of relying on the underlying media. This option is used when
true broadcast/multicast is not supported by the media, or when the
number of true destinations is much smaller than the cluster size.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
If the bearer carrying multicast messages supports broadcast, those
messages will be sent to all cluster nodes, irrespective of whether
these nodes host any actual destinations socket or not. This is clearly
wasteful if the cluster is large and there are only a few real
destinations for the message being sent.
In this commit we extend the eligibility of the newly introduced
"replicast" transmit option. We now make it possible for a user to
select which method he wants to be used, either as a mandatory setting
via setsockopt(), or as a relative setting where we let the broadcast
layer decide which method to use based on the ratio between cluster
size and the message's actual number of destination nodes.
In the latter case, a sending socket must stick to a previously
selected method until it enters an idle period of at least 5 seconds.
This eliminates the risk of message reordering caused by method change,
i.e., when changes to cluster size or number of destinations would
otherwise mandate a new method to be used.

TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable
'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to
transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in
the cluster.
When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate
the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as
many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations.
We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does
this.

We do this by adding a new function tipc_bearer_bcast_support() to
the bearer layer, and letting the bearer selection function in
bcast.c use this to give a new boolean field, 'bcast_support' the
appropriate value.

Provide a simple helper with the same semantics of strncpy_from_unsafe():
int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_addr)
This gives more flexibility to a bpf program. A typical use case is
intercepting a file name during sys_open(). The current approach is:
SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
bpf_probe_read(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di);
/* consume buf */
}
This is suboptimal because the size of the string needs to be estimated
at compile time, causing more memory to be copied than often necessary,
and can become more problematic if further processing on buf is done,
for example by pushing it to userspace via bpf_perf_event_output(),
since the real length of the string is unknown and the entire buffer
must be copied (and defining an unrolled strnlen() inside the bpf
program is a very inefficient and unfeasible approach).
With the new helper, the code can easily operate on the actual string
length rather than the buffer size:
SEC("kprobe/sys_open")
void bpf_sys_open(struct pt_regs *ctx)
{
char buf[PATHLEN]; // PATHLEN is defined to 256
int res = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di);
/* consume buf, for example push it to userspace via
* bpf_perf_event_output(), but this time we can use
* res (the string length) as event size, after checking
* its boundaries.
*/
}
Another useful use case is when parsing individual process arguments or
individual environment variables navigating current->mm->arg_start and
current->mm->env_start: using this helper and the return value, one can
quickly iterate at the right offset of the memory area.
The code changes simply leverage the already existent
strncpy_from_unsafe() kernel function, which is safe to be called from a
bpf program as it is used in bpf_trace_printk().

Retrieve number of VFs in a bus-agnostic way
Previously, it was assumed that only PCI NICs would be capable of having
virtual functions - with my proposed enhancement of dummy NIC driver
implementing (fake) ones for testing purposes, this is no longer true.
Discussion of said patch has led to the suggestion of implementing a
bus-agnostic method for VF count retrieval so rtnetlink could work with
both real VF-capable PCI NICs as well as my dummy modifications without
introducing ugly hacks.
The following series tries to achieve just that by introducing a bus
type callback to retrieve a device's number of VFs, implementing this
callback for PCI bus and finally adjusting rtnetlink to make use of the
generalized infrastructure.

vhost_net tx batching
This series tries to implement tx batching support for vhost. This was
done by using MSG_MORE as a hint for under layer socket. The backend
(e.g tap) can then batch the packets temporarily in a list and
submit it all once the number of bacthed exceeds a limitation.
Tests shows obvious improvement on guest pktgen over over
mlx4(noqueue) on host:
Mpps -+%
rx-frames = 0 0.91 +0%
rx-frames = 4 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 8 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 16 1.01 +10.9%
rx-frames = 32 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 48 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 64 1.08 +18.6%
rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91 +0%
Changes from V4:
- stick to NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT for rx-frames is user specify a value
greater than it.
Changes from V3:
- use ethtool instead of module parameter to control the maximum
number of batched packets
- avoid overhead when MSG_MORE were not set and no packet queued
Changes from V2:
- remove uselss queue limitation check (and we don't drop any packet now)
Changes from V1:
- drop NAPI handler since we don't use NAPI now
- fix the issues that may exceeds max pending of zerocopy
- more improvement on available buffer detection
- move the limitation of batched pacekts from vhost to tuntap

We can only process 1 packet at one time during sendmsg(). This often
lead bad cache utilization under heavy load. So this patch tries to do
some batching during rx before submitting them to host network
stack. This is done through accepting MSG_MORE as a hint from
sendmsg() caller, if it was set, batch the packet temporarily in a
linked list and submit them all once MSG_MORE were cleared.
Tests were done by pktgen (burst=128) in guest over mlx4(noqueue) on host:
Mpps -+%
rx-frames = 0 0.91 +0%
rx-frames = 4 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 8 1.00 +9.8%
rx-frames = 16 1.01 +10.9%
rx-frames = 32 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 48 1.07 +17.5%
rx-frames = 64 1.08 +18.6%
rx-frames = 64 (no MSG_MORE) 0.91 +0%
User were allowed to change per device batched packets through
ethtool -C rx-frames. NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT were used as upper limitation

Relax ordering(RO) is one feature of 82599 NIC, to enable this feature can
enhance the performance for some cpu architecure, such as SPARC and so on.
Currently it only supports one special cpu architecture(SPARC) in 82599
driver to enable RO feature, this is not very common for other cpu architecture
which really needs RO feature.
This patch add one common config CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER to set RO feature,
and should define CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER in sparc Kconfig firstly.
