[PATCH net-next V3 0/6] switch to use tx skb array in tun
Hi all: This series tries to switch to use skb array in tun. This is used to eliminate the spinlock contention between producer and consumer. The conversion was straightforward: just introdce a tx skb array and use it instead of sk_receive_queue. A minor issue is to keep the tx_queue_len behaviour, since tun used to use it for the length of sk_receive_queue. This is done through: - add the ability to resize multiple rings at once to avoid handling partial resize failure for mutiple rings. - add the support for zero length ring. - introduce a notifier which was triggered when tx_queue_len was changed for a netdev. - resize all queues during the tx_queue_len changing. Tests shows about 15% improvement on guest rx pps: Before: ~1300000pps After : ~1500000pps Changes from V2: - add multiple rings resizing support for ptr_ring/skb_array - add zero length ring support - introdce a NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN - drop new flags Changes from V1: - switch to use skb array instead of a customized circular buffer - add non-blocking support - rename .peek to .peek_len - drop lockless peeking since test show very minor improvement Jason Wang (5): ptr_ring: support zero length ring skb_array: minor tweak skb_array: add wrappers for resizing net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN tun: switch to use skb array for tx Michael S.

[PATCH net-next V3 1/6] ptr_ring: support zero length ring
Sometimes, we need zero length ring. But current code will crash since
we don't do any check before accessing the ring. This patch fixes this.

[PATCH net-next V3 5/6] net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN
This patch introduces a new event - NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN, this
will be triggered when tx_queue_len. It could be used by net device
who want to do some processing at that time. An example is tun who may
want to resize tx array when tx_queue_len is changed.

[PATCH net-next V3 6/6] tun: switch to use skb array for tx
We used to queue tx packets in sk_receive_queue, this is less
efficient since it requires spinlocks to synchronize between producer
and consumer.
This patch tries to address this by:
- switch from sk_receive_queue to a skb_array, and resize it when
tx_queue_len was changed.
- introduce a new proto_ops peek_len which was used for peeking the
skb length.
- implement a tun version of peek_len for vhost_net to use and convert
vhost_net to use peek_len if possible.
Pktgen test shows about 15.3% improvement on guest receiving pps for small
buffers:
Before: ~1300000pps
After : ~1500000pps

It looks like this covers the sysfs change but the tx_queue_len can also be changed via rtnetlink as well. So we need another patch for that path right? if (tb[IFLA_TXQLEN]) { unsigned long value = nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_TXQLEN]); if (dev->tx_queue_len ^ value) status |= DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY; dev->tx_queue_len = value; } Thanks, John
