Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 00/14] xsk: support shared umems between devices and queues

This patch set adds support to share a umem between AF_XDP sockets
bound to different queue ids on the same device or even between
devices. It has already been possible to do this by registering the
umem multiple times, but this wastes a lot of memory. Just imagine
having 10 threads each having 10 sockets open sharing a single
umem. This means that you would have to register the umem 100 times
consuming large quantities of memory.

Instead, we extend the existing XDP_SHARED_UMEM flag to also work when
sharing a umem between different queue ids as well as devices. If you
would like to share umem between two sockets, just create the first
one as would do normally. For the second socket you would not register
the same umem using the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt. Instead attach one
new fill ring and one new completion ring to this second socket and
then use the XDP_SHARED_UMEM bind flag supplying the file descriptor of
the first socket in the sxdp_shared_umem_fd field to signify that it
is the umem of the first socket you would like to share.

One important thing to note in this example, is that there needs to be
one fill ring and one completion ring per unique device and queue id
bound to. This so that the single-producer and single-consumer semantics
of the rings can be upheld. To recap, if you bind multiple sockets to
the same device and queue id (already supported without this patch
set), you only need one pair of fill and completion rings. If you bind
multiple sockets to multiple different queues or devices, you need one
fill and completion ring pair per unique device,queue_id tuple.

The implementation is based around extending the buffer pool in the
core xsk code. This is a structure that exists on a per unique device
and queue id basis. So, a number of entities that can now be shared
are moved from the umem to the buffer pool. Information about DMA
mappings are also moved from the buffer pool, but as these are per
device independent of the queue id, they are now hanging off the umem
in list. However, the pool is set up to point directly to the
dma_addr_t array that it needs. In summary after this patch set, there
is one xdp_sock struct per socket created. This points to an
xsk_buff_pool for which there is one per unique device and queue
id. The buffer pool points to a DMA mapping structure for which there
is one per device that a umem has been bound to. And finally, the
buffer pool also points to a xdp_umem struct, for which there is only
one per umem registration.

Before:

XSK -> UMEM -> POOL

Now:

XSK -> POOL -> DMA
            \
	     > UMEM

Patches 1-8 only rearrange internal structures to support the buffer
pool carrying this new information, while patch 9 improves performance
as we now have rearranged the internal structures quite a bit. Finally,
patches 10-14 introduce the new functionality together with libbpf
support, samples, and documentation.

Libbpf has also been extended to support sharing of umems between
sockets bound to different devices and queue ids by introducing a new
function called xsk_socket__create_shared(). The difference between
this and the existing xsk_socket__create() is that the former takes a
reference to a fill ring and a completion ring as these need to be
created. This new function needs to be used for the second and
following sockets that binds to the same umem. The first socket can be
created by either function as it will also have called
xsk_umem__create().

There is also a new sample xsk_fwd that demonstrates this new
interface and capability.

Performance for the non-shared umem case is unchanged for the xdpsock
sample application with this patch set. For workloads that share a
umem, this patch set can give rise to added performance benefits due
to the decrease in memory usage.

v3 -> v4:

* Fixed compilation error when CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS_DIAG is set [lkp robot]

v2 -> v3:

* Clean up of fq_tmp and cq_tmp in xsk_release [Maxim]
* Fixed bug when bind failed that caused pool to be freed twice [Ciara]

v1 -> v2:

* Tx need_wakeup init bug fixed. Missed to set the cached_need_wakeup
  flag for Tx.
* Need wakeup turned on for xsk_fwd sample [Cristian]
* Commit messages cleaned up
* Moved dma mapping list from netdev to umem [Maxim]
* Now the buffer pool is only created once. Fill ring and completion
  ring pointers are stored in the socket during initialization (before
  bind) and at bind these pointers are moved over to the buffer pool
  which is used all the time after that. [Maxim]

This patch has been applied against commit e57892f50a07 ("Merge branch 'bpf-socket-lookup'")

Structure of the patch set:

Patch 1: Pass the buffer pool to the driver instead of the umem. This
         because the driver needs one buffer pool per napi context
         when we later introduce sharing of the umem between queue ids
         and devices.
Patch 2: Rename the xsk driver interface so they have better names
         after the move to the buffer pool
Patch 3: There is one buffer pool per device and queue, while there is
         only one umem per registration. The buffer pool needs to be
         created and destroyed independently of the umem.
Patch 4: Move fill and completion rings to the buffer pool as there will
         be one set of these per device and queue
Patch 5: Move queue_id, dev and need_wakeup to buffer pool again as these
         will now be per buffer pool as the umem can be shared between
         devices and queues
Patch 6: Move xsk_tx_list and its lock to buffer pool
Patch 7: Move the creation/deletion of addrs from buffer pool to umem
Patch 8: Enable sharing of DMA mappings when multiple queues of the
         same device are bound
Patch 9: Rearrange internal structs for better performance as these
         have been substantially scrambled by the previous patches
Patch 10: Add shared umem support between queue ids
Patch 11: Add shared umem support between devices
Patch 12: Add support for this in libbpf
Patch 13: Add a new sample that demonstrates this new feature by
          forwarding packets between different netdevs and queues
Patch 14: Add documentation
