[PATCH] test: Fix passt.mbuto for cases where /usr/sbin doesn't exist
by David Gibson 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

f0ccca74 ("test: make passt.mbuto script more robust") is supposed to make mbuto more robust by standardizing on always putting things in /usr/sbin with /sbin a symlink to it. This matters because different distros have different conventions about how the two are used. However, the logic there requires that /usr/sbin at least exists to start with. This isn't always the case with Fedora derived mbuto images. Ironically the DIRS variable ensures that /sbin exists, although we then remove it, but doesn't require /usr/sbin to exist. Fix that up so that the new logic will work with Fedora.

[RFC net-next] tcp: add support for read with offset when using MSG_PEEK
by jmaloy＠redhat.com 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

From: Jon Maloy <jmaloy(a)redhat.com> When reading received messages with MSG_PEEK, we sometines have to read the leading bytes of the stream several times, only to reach the bytes we really want. This is clearly non-optimal. What we would want is something similar to pread/preadv(), but working even for tcp sockets. At the same time, we don't want to add any new arguments to the recv/recvmsg() calls. In this commit, we allow the user to set iovec.iov_base in the first vector entry to NULL. This tells the socket to skip the first entry, hence letting the iov_len field of that entry indicate the offset value. This way, there is no need to add any new arguments or flags. In the iperf3 logs examples shown below, we can observe a throughput improvement of ~20 % in the direction host->namespace when using the protocol splicer 'passt'. This is a consistent result. $ ./passt/passt/pasta --config-net -f MSG_PEEK with offset not supported.

[RFC net-next v4] tcp: add support for read with offset when using MSG_PEEK
by Jon Maloy 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

When reading received messages from a socket with MSG_PEEK, we may want to read the contents with an offset, like we can do with pread/preadv() when reading files. Currently, it is not possible to do that. In this commit, we allow the user to set iovec.iov_base in the first vector entry to NULL. This tells the socket to skip the first entry, hence letting the iov_len field of that entry indicate the offset value. This way, there is no need to add any new arguments or flags. In the iperf3 log examples shown below, we can observe a throughput improvement of ~15 % in the direction host->namespace when using the protocol splicer 'pasta' (https://passt.top). This is a consistent result. pasta(1) and passt(1) implement user-mode networking for network namespaces (containers) and virtual machines by means of a translation layer between Layer-2 network interface and native Layer-4 sockets (TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo). Received, pending TCP data to the container/guest is kept in kernel buffers until acknowledged, so the tool routinely needs to fetch new data from socket, skipping data that was already sent. At the moment this is implemented using a dummy buffer passed to recvmsg(). With this change, we don't need a dummy buffer and the related buffer copy (copy_to_user()) anymore. passt and pasta are supported in KubeVirt and libvirt/qemu. jmaloy@lubu:~/passt$ perf record -g ./pasta --config-net -f MSG_PEEK with offset not supported by kernel. jmaloy@lubu:~/passt# iperf3 -s ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on 5201 (test #1) ----------------------------------------------------------- Accepted connection from 192.168.122.1, port 44822 [ 5] local 192.168.122.180 port 5201 connected to 192.168.122.1 port 44832 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 1.02 GBytes 8.78 Gbits/sec [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 1.06 GBytes 9.08 Gbits/sec [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 1.07 GBytes 9.15 Gbits/sec [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 9.46 Gbits/sec [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 1.03 GBytes 8.85 Gbits/sec [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 1.10 GBytes 9.44 Gbits/sec [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 1.11 GBytes 9.56 Gbits/sec [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 1.07 GBytes 9.20 Gbits/sec [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 667 MBytes 5.59 Gbits/sec [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 1.03 GBytes 8.83 Gbits/sec [ 5] 10.00-10.04 sec 30.1 MBytes 6.36 Gbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 10.3 GBytes 8.78 Gbits/sec receiver ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on 5201 (test #2) ----------------------------------------------------------- ^Ciperf3: interrupt - the server has terminated jmaloy@lubu:~/passt# logout [ perf record: Woken up 23 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.696 MB perf.data (35580 samples) ] jmaloy@lubu:~/passt$ jmaloy@lubu:~/passt$ perf record -g ./pasta --config-net -f MSG_PEEK with offset supported by kernel. jmaloy@lubu:~/passt# iperf3 -s ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on 5201 (test #1) ----------------------------------------------------------- Accepted connection from 192.168.122.1, port 40854 [ 5] local 192.168.122.180 port 5201 connected to 192.168.122.1 port 40862 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 1.22 GBytes 10.5 Gbits/sec [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 1.19 GBytes 10.2 Gbits/sec [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 1.22 GBytes 10.5 Gbits/sec [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 1.11 GBytes 9.56 Gbits/sec [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 1.20 GBytes 10.3 Gbits/sec [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 1.14 GBytes 9.80 Gbits/sec [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 1.17 GBytes 10.0 Gbits/sec [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 1.12 GBytes 9.61 Gbits/sec [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 1.13 GBytes 9.74 Gbits/sec [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 1.26 GBytes 10.8 Gbits/sec - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 11.8 GBytes 10.1 Gbits/sec receiver ----------------------------------------------------------- Server listening on 5201 (test #2) ----------------------------------------------------------- ^Ciperf3: interrupt - the server has terminated logout [ perf record: Woken up 20 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.040 MB perf.data (33411 samples) ] jmaloy@lubu:~/passt$ The perf record confirms this result.

[PATCH v2 00/12] RFC: ICMP reworks preliminary to flow table integration
by David Gibson 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

As with TCP, it turns out that there are a bunch of clean ups and reworks to the ICMP code which will make integration with the flow table easier, even before introducing a non-trivial version of the flow table itself. Based on the flow based dispatch/allocation, and bind/addressing cleanup series. Changes since v1: * Rebased on newer version of flow dispatch & allocation series * Added 12/12 splitting out close and new sequence functions David Gibson (12): checksum: Don't use linux/icmp.h when netinet/ip_icmp.h will do icmp: Don't set "port" on destination sockaddr for ping sockets icmp: Remove redundant initialisation of sendto() address icmp: Don't attempt to handle "wrong direction" ping socket traffic icmp: Don't attempt to match host IDs to guest IDs icmp: Use -1 to represent "missing" sockets icmp: Simplify socket expiry scanning icmp: Share more between IPv4 and IPv6 paths in icmp_tap_handler() icmp: Consolidate icmp_sock_handler() with icmpv6_sock_handler() icmp: Warn on receive errors from ping sockets icmp: Validate packets received on ping sockets icmp: Dedicated functions for starting and closing ping sequences checksum.c | 2 +- icmp.c | 326 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------- icmp.h | 5 +- passt.c | 4 +- 4 files changed, 164 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0

[PATCH v3 00/13] Manage more flow related things from generic flow code
by David Gibson 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

There are a number of things that are more-or-less general to flows which are still explicitly handled in tcp.c and tcp_splice.c including allocation and freeing of flow entries, and dispatch of deferred and timer functions. Even without adding more fields to the common flow structure, we can handle a number of these in a more flow-centric way. Unlike v1 this version is based on the hash table rework series. Changes since v2: * Realised the prealloc/commit functions where confusing and worked poorly for some future stuff. Replaced with alloc/alloc_cancel * Fixed a bug where newly allocated flow entries might not be 0-filled, because of the free tracking information in there. This could cause very subtle problems. Changes since v1: * Store the timestamp of last flow timers run in a global, rather than a ctx field * Rebased on the TCP hash table rework * Add patches 9..13/13 with changes to allocation and freeing of flow entries. David Gibson (13): flow: Make flow_table.h #include the protocol specific headers it needs treewide: Standardise on 'now' for current timestamp variables tcp, tcp_splice: Remove redundant handling from tcp_timer() tcp, tcp_splice: Move per-type cleanup logic into per-type helpers flow, tcp: Add flow-centric dispatch for deferred flow handling flow, tcp: Add handling for per-flow timers epoll: Better handling of number of epoll types tcp, tcp_splice: Avoid double layered dispatch for connected TCP sockets flow: Move flow_log_() to near top of flow.c flow: Move flow_count from context structure to a global flow: Abstract allocation of new flows with helper function flow: Enforce that freeing of closed flows must happen in deferred handlers flow: Avoid moving flow entries to compact table flow.c | 223 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- flow.h | 5 +- flow_table.h | 20 +++++ icmp.c | 12 +-- icmp.h | 2 +- log.c | 34 ++++---- passt.c | 20 +++-- passt.h | 9 +-- tcp.c | 143 +++++++++------------------------ tcp.h | 2 +- tcp_conn.h | 8 +- tcp_splice.c | 49 +++++------ tcp_splice.h | 4 +- udp.c | 16 ++-- udp.h | 2 +- 15 files changed, 324 insertions(+), 225 deletions(-) -- 2.43.0

[PATCH v2] test: make passt.mbuto script more robust
by Jon Maloy 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

From: Jon Paul Maloy <jmaloy(a)redhat.com> Creation of a symbolic link from /sbin to /usr/sbin fails if /sbin exists and is non-empty. This is the case on Ubuntu-23.04.
