Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 2/2] net: veth: Improving page pool recycling
Page pool is supported for veth. But for XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT cases,
the pages are not effectively recycled. "ethtool -S" statistics for the
page pool are as follows:
NIC statistics:
rx_pp_alloc_fast: 18041186
rx_pp_alloc_slow: 286369
rx_pp_recycle_ring: 0
rx_pp_recycle_released_ref: 18327555
This failure to recycle page pool pages is a result of the code snippet
below, which converts page pool pages into regular pages and releases
the skb data structure:
veth_xdp_get(xdp);
consume_skb(skb);
The reason behind is some skbs received from the veth peer are not page
pool pages, and remain so after conversion to xdp frame. In order to not
confusing __xdp_return with mixed regular pages and page pool pages, they
are all converted to regular pages. So registering xdp memory model as
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_SHARED is sufficient.
If we replace the above code with kfree_skb_partial, directly releasing
the skb data structure, we can retain the original page pool page behavior.
However, directly changing the xdp memory model to MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL is
not a solution as explained above. Therefore, we introduced an additionally
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL model for each rq.
The following tests were conducted using pktgen to generate traffic and
evaluate the performance improvement after page pool pages get successfully
recycled in scenarios involving XDP_TX, XDP_REDIRECT, and AF_XDP.
Test environment setup:
ns1 ns2
veth0 <-peer-> veth1
veth2 <-peer-> veth3
Test Results:
pktgen -> veth1 -> veth0(XDP_TX) -> veth1(XDP_DROP)
without PP recycle: 1,780,392
with PP recycle: 1,984,680
improvement: ~10%
pktgen -> veth1 -> veth0(XDP_TX) -> veth1(XDP_PASS)
without PP recycle: 1,433,491
with PP recycle: 1,511,680
improvement: 5~6%
pktgen -> veth1 -> veth0(XDP_REDIRECT) -> veth2 -> veth3(XDP_DROP)
without PP recycle: 1,527,708
with PP recycle: 1,672,101
improvement: ~10%
pktgen -> veth1 -> veth0(XDP_REDIRECT) -> veth2 -> veth3(XDP_PASS)
without PP recycle: 1,325,804
with PP recycle: 1,392,704
improvement: ~5.5%
pktgen -> veth1 -> veth0(AF_XDP) -> user space(DROP)
without PP recycle: 1,607,609
with PP recycle: 1,736,957
improvement: ~8%
Additionally, the performance improvement were measured when converting to
xdp_buff doesn't require buffer copy and original skb uses regular pages,
i.e. page pool recycle not involved. This still gives around 2% improvement
attributed to the changes from consume_skb to kfree_skb_partial.
