====================
udp gso
Segmentation offload reduces cycles/byte for large packets by
amortizing the cost of protocol stack traversal.
This patchset implements GSO for UDP. A process can concatenate and
submit multiple datagrams to the same destination in one send call
by setting socket option SOL_UDP/UDP_SEGMENT with the segment size,
or passing an analogous cmsg at send time.
The stack will send the entire large (up to network layer max size)
datagram through the protocol layer. At the GSO layer, it is broken
up in individual segments. All receive the same network layer header
and UDP src and dst port. All but the last segment have the same UDP
header, but the last may differ in length and checksum.
Initial results show a significant reduction in UDP cycles/byte.
See the main patch for more details and benchmark results.
udp
876 MB/s 14873 msg/s 624666 calls/s
11,205,777,429 cycles
udp gso
2139 MB/s 36282 msg/s 36282 calls/s
11,204,374,561 cycles
The patch set is broken down as follows:
- patch 1 is a prerequisite: code rearrangement, noop otherwise
- patch 2 implements the gso logic
- patch 3 adds protocol stack support for UDP_SEGMENT
- patch 4,5,7 are refinements
- patch 6 adds the cmsg interface
- patch 8..11 are tests
This idea was presented previously at netconf 2017-2
http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_udp_gso.pdf
Changes v1 -> v2
- Convert __udp_gso_segment to modify headers after skb_segment
- Split main patch into two, one for gso logic, one for UDP_SEGMENT
Changes RFC -> v1
- MSG_MORE:
fixed, by allowing checksum offload with corking if gso
- SKB_GSO_UDP_L4:
made independent from SKB_GSO_UDP
and removed skb_is_ufo() wrapper
- NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4:
add to netdev_features_string
and to netdev-features.txt
add BUILD_BUG_ON to match SKB_GSO_UDP_L4 value
- UDP_MAX_SEGMENTS:
introduce limit on number of segments per gso skb
to avoid extreme cases like IP_MAX_MTU/IPV4_MIN_MTU
- CHECKSUM_PARTIAL:
test against missing feature after ndo_features_check
if not supported return error, analogous to udp_send_check
- MSG_ZEROCOPY: removed, deferred for now

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
