2021-05-08vhost: low performance in interrupt mode in some casesSteven Luong1-35/+19
When vhost and another interface, say tap, are configured for interrupt mode, performance number may be very low from vhost. Further analysis discovers that when vhost posts an interrupt to the RX infra, there is a 10 msec delay in waking up its input routine. The delay is due to vhost posts the interrupt from the main thread which tries to wake up the worker thread. The fix is for vhost to move the posting interrupt call to the corresponding input worker thread by calling vnet_hw_if_set_rx_queue_file_index() to set it up. While at it, streamline the function vhost_user_kickfd_read_ready() since it will be called from the worker thread.

2021-05-04virtio: fix the interruptMohsin Kazmi3-162/+202
Type: fix virtio/tap interfaces set the empty buffers in the input node for receiving data. Backend uses those buffers, fills them with data and notifies the virtio/tap driver. But virtio/tap driver gets into stall state if interface is created and configured through exec script on VPP startup.conf and put the interface in interrupt mode while VPP is only configured with main thread. This patch fixes the problem by prefilling buffers during the interface creation. Change-Id: Ibc4d0e70e127ccc4b7cf8b2b18406ae4b02c73b4 Signed-off-by: Mohsin Kazmi <sykazmi@cisco.com>
2021-05-01vlib: refactor trajectory trace debug featureBenoît Ganne2-6/+0
trajectory trace has been broken for a while because we used to save the buffer trajectory in a vector pointed to in opaque2. This does not work well when opaque2 is copied (eg. because of a clone) as 2 buffers end up sharing the same vector. This dedicates a full cacheline in the buffer metadata instead when trajectory is compiled in. No dynamic allocation, no sharing, no tears.

2021-04-05vhost: Crash upon disconnectSteven Luong1-1/+1
Patch 24601 introduced description into template. In vhost_user_process, template is reused inside the while loop to call clib_file_add. But description is allocated outside of the loop only once. As a result, the same storage for description is being referenced by all instances of call to clib_file_add. As long as we don't call clib_file_del, we may be good with multiple fds sharing the same storage for the description. When one of the fds disconnects and frees the description, the other fds is holding onto the free memory pointer. Bad news eventually happens when another fd disconnects and frees the description that was already free previously. The fix is to move the allocation of description inside the loop to avoid sharing.

2021-02-15vlib: refactor checksum offload supportMohsin Kazmi4-30/+36
Type: refactor This patch refactors the offload flags in vlib_buffer_t. There are two main reasons behind this refactoring. First, offload flags are insufficient to represent outer and inner headers offloads. Second, room for these flags in first cacheline of vlib_buffer_t is also limited. This patch introduces a generic offload flag in first cacheline. And detailed offload flags in 2nd cacheline of the structure for performance optimization.

VPP only supports a poor man's approach for interrupt notification to the driver. It uses a simple binary flag for "interrupt needed" or "interrupt not needed".

2020-12-25virtio: Extend vhost multi-queues support beyond 8 queue pairsSteven Luong3-60/+122
Current vhost multi-queues support has a hard limit of 8 queue pairs due to static vring array. This limit was raised in qemu. VPP should support more than 8 queue pairs also. Change static vring allocation to dynamic. When the interface is created, we allocate 8 queue pairs to begin with. We also keep track of how many queue pairs that the interface actually uses. We reply VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM with 128 as our maximum number of support queue pair. When qemu starts initializing queue pair greater than 8, we expand the vrings as needed on demand.

Type: feature Add a function to adjust the link state of the host side of a tap interface. If an application (e.g. route protocol daemons) running on the host uses netlink to monitor interface state, a plugin could use this function to communicate a loss of connectivity to the application by making the interface appear to go down. Requires a somewhat recent kernel. E.g. it does not have any effect on CentOS 7 but it works on CentOS 8.

2020-10-21virtio: run process to send interrupts to input nodesMohsin Kazmi3-17/+111
Type: improvement virtio interfaces support packet coalescing and buffering which depends on timer expiry to flush the stored packets periodically. virtio input node checks timer expiry and schedules tx queue accordingly. In poll mode, timer expiry is handled naturally, as input node runs periodically. In interrupt mode, virtio input node depends on the interrupts send from backend. Stored packets could starve, if there would not be interrupts to input node. This patch implements a process node which periodically sends interrupt to virtio input node given coalescing or buffering feature is enabled on an interface.
