refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
There are 2 reasons to do so:
1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.
2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.
void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}
roughly translates to
movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g
MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:
static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}
And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]
However, overall balance is in negative direction:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

After Jesper commit back in linux-3.18, we trigger a lockdep
splat in proc_create_data() while allocating memory from
pktgen_change_name().
This patch converts t->if_lock to a mutex, since it is now only
used from control path, and adds proper locking to pktgen_change_name()
1) pktgen_thread_lock to protect the outer loop (iterating threads)
2) t->if_lock to protect the inner loop (iterating devices)
Note that before Jesper patch, pktgen_change_name() was lacking proper
protection, but lockdep was not able to detect the problem.

The commit 879c7220e8 ("net: pktgen: Observe needed_headroom
of the device") increased the 'pkt_overhead' field value by
LL_RESERVED_SPACE.
As a side effect the generated packet size, computed as:
/* Eth + IPh + UDPh + mpls */
datalen = pkt_dev->cur_pkt_size - 14 - 20 - 8 -
pkt_dev->pkt_overhead;
is decreased by the same value.
The above changed slightly the behavior of existing pktgen users,
and made the procfs interface somewhat inconsistent.
Fix it by restoring the previous pkt_overhead value and using
LL_RESERVED_SPACE as extralen in skb allocation.
Also, change pktgen_alloc_skb() to only partially reserve
the headroom to allow the caller to prefetch from ll header
start.

Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the
packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into
netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().
Default mode is called 'start_xmit'.
It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc
performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before
using it for other rx benchmarking.
Sample script 'pktgen.sh':
\#!/bin/bash
function pgset() {
local result
echo $1 > $PGDEV
result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
fi
}
[ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 DEV" && exit 1
ETH=$1
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
pgset "rem_device_all"
pgset "add_device $ETH"
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive"
pgset "pkt_size 60"
pgset "dst 198.18.0.1"
pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff"
pgset "count 10000000"
pgset "burst 32"
PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop"
pgset "start"
echo "Done"
cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
Usage:
$ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2
...
Result: OK: 232376(c232372+d3) usec, 10000000 (60byte,0frags)
43033682pps 20656Mb/sec (20656167360bps) errors: 10000000
Raw netif_receive_skb speed should be ~43 million packet
per second on 3.7Ghz x86 and 'perf report' should look like:
37.69% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
25.81% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kfree_skb
7.22% kpktgend_0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ip_rcv
5.68% kpktgend_0 [pktgen] [k] pktgen_thread_worker
If fib_table_lookup is seen on top, it means skb was processed
by the stack. To benchmark netif_receive_skb only make sure
that 'dst_mac' of your pktgen script is different from
receiving device mac and it will be dropped by ip_rcv

First, the pseudo-header uses the source and destination IP

Then testing the TX limits of the stack, then it is useful to
be-able to disable the do_gettimeofday() timetamping on every packet.
This implements a pktgen flag NO_TIMESTAMP which will disable this
call to do_gettimeofday().
The performance change on (my system E5-2695) with skb_clone=0, goes
from TX 2,423,751 pps to 2,567,165 pps with flag NO_TIMESTAMP. Thus,
the cost of do_gettimeofday() or saving is approx 23 nanosec.

The if_lock()/if_unlock() in next_to_run() adds a significant
overhead, because its called for every packet in busy loop of
pktgen_thread_worker(). (Thomas Graf originally pointed me
at this lock problem).
Removing these two "LOCK" operations should in theory save us approx
16ns (8ns x 2), as illustrated below we do save 16ns when removing
the locks and introducing RCU protection.
Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, TX-size=512, rx-usecs=30:
(single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
* Prev : 5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
* RCU-fix: 6272204 pps --> 159.43ns (1/6272204*10^9)
* Diff : +588195 pps --> -16.50ns
To understand this RCU patch, I describe the pktgen thread model
below.
In pktgen there is several kernel threads, but there is only one CPU
running each kernel thread. Communication with the kernel threads are
done through some thread control flags. This allow the thread to
change data structures at a know synchronization point, see main
thread func pktgen_thread_worker().
Userspace changes are communicated through proc-file writes. There
are three types of changes, general control changes "pgctrl"
(func:pgctrl_write), thread changes "kpktgend_X"
(func:pktgen_thread_write), and interface config changes "etcX@N"
(func:pktgen_if_write).
Userspace "pgctrl" and "thread" changes are synchronized via the mutex
pktgen_thread_lock, thus only a single userspace instance can run.
The mutex is taken while the packet generator is running, by pgctrl
"start". Thus e.g. "add_device" cannot be invoked when pktgen is
running/started.
All "pgctrl" and all "thread" changes, except thread "add_device",
communicate via the thread control flags. The main problem is the
exception "add_device", that modifies threads "if_list" directly.
Fortunately "add_device" cannot be invoked while pktgen is running.
But there exists a race between "rem_device_all" and "add_device"
(which normally don't occur, because "rem_device_all" waits 125ms
before returning). Background'ing "rem_device_all" and running
"add_device" immediately allow the race to occur.
The race affects the threads (list of devices) "if_list". The if_lock
is used for protecting this "if_list". Other readers are given
lock-free access to the list under RCU read sections.
Note, interface config changes (via proc) can occur while pktgen is
running, which worries me a bit. I'm assuming proc_remove() takes
appropriate locks, to assure no writers exists after proc_remove()
finish.
I've been running a script exercising the race condition (leading me
to fix the proc_remove order), without any issues. The script also
exercises concurrent proc writes, while the interface config is
getting removed.

Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
pktgen_thread_worker(). In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.
The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
is LOCK prefixed. I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
8ns on this E5-2630 CPU. Performance increase corrolate with this
measurement.

Similarly to commit 43279500de ("packet: respect devices with
LLTX flag in direct xmit"), we can basically apply the very same
to pktgen. This will help testing against LLTX devices such as
dummy driver (or others), which only have a single netdevice txq
and would otherwise require locking their txq from pktgen side
while e.g. in dummy case, we would not need any locking. Fix this
by making use of HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will
be respected.

Similarly as in commit 8e2f1a63f2 ("packet: fix packet_direct_xmit
for BQL enabled drivers"), we test for __QUEUE_STATE_STACK_XOFF bit
in pktgen's xmit, which would not fully fill the device's TX ring for
BQL drivers that use netdev_tx_sent_queue(). Fix is to use, similarly
as we do in packet sockets, netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped() test.

The 'out' label is just a relict from previous times as pgctrl_write()
had multiple error paths. Get rid of it and simply return right away
on errors.

If a privileged user writes an empty string to /proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
the code for stripping the (then non-existent) '\n' actually writes the
zero byte at index -1 of data[]. The then still uninitialized array will
very likely fail the command matching tests and the pr_warning() at the
end will therefore leak stack bytes to the kernel log.
Fix those issues by simply ensuring we're passed a non-empty string as
the user API apparently expects a trailing '\n' for all commands.
