[PATCH] selftests: hugetlb_dio: Check for initial conditions to skip in the start

by Muhammad Usama Anjum

The test should be skipped if initial conditions aren't fulfilled in the start instead of failing and outputting non-compliant TAP logs. This kind of failure pollutes the results. The initial conditions are: - The test should only execute if /tmp file can be allocated. - The test should only execute if huge pages are free.

[PATCH v4 0/3] rust: kunit: Support KUnit tests with a user-space like syntax

by David Gow

This series was originally written by José Expósito, and has been modified and updated by Matt Gilbride and myself. The original version can be found here: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/pull/950 Add support for writing KUnit tests in Rust. While Rust doctests are already converted to KUnit tests and run, they're really better suited for examples, rather than as first-class unit tests. This series implements a series of direct Rust bindings for KUnit tests, as well as a new macro which allows KUnit tests to be written using a close variant of normal Rust unit test syntax. The only change required is replacing '#[cfg(test)]' with '#[kunit_tests(kunit_test_suite_name)]' An example test would look like: #[kunit_tests(rust_kernel_hid_driver)] mod tests { use super::*; use crate::{c_str, driver, hid, prelude::*}; use core::ptr; struct SimpleTestDriver; impl Driver for SimpleTestDriver { type Data = (); } #[test] fn rust_test_hid_driver_adapter() { let mut hid = bindings::hid_driver::default(); let name = c_str!("SimpleTestDriver"); static MODULE: ThisModule = unsafe { ThisModule::from_ptr(ptr::null_mut()) }; let res = unsafe { <hid::Adapter<SimpleTestDriver> as driver::DriverOps>::register(&mut hid, name, &MODULE) }; assert_eq!(res, Err(ENODEV)); // The mock returns -19 } } Please give this a go, and make sure I haven't broken it! There's almost certainly a lot of improvements which can be made -- and there's a fair case to be made for replacing some of this with generated C code which can use the C macros -- but this is hopefully an adequate implementation for now, and the interface can (with luck) remain the same even if the implementation changes. A few small notable missing features: - Attributes (like the speed of a test) are hardcoded to the default value. - Similarly, the module name attribute is hardcoded to NULL. In C, we use the KBUILD_MODNAME macro, but I couldn't find a way to use this from Rust which wasn't more ugly than just disabling it. - Assertions are not automatically rewritten to use KUnit assertions. --- Changes since v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20241030045719.3085147-2-davidgow@g… - The kunit_unsafe_test_suite!() macro now panic!s if the suite name is too long, triggering a compile error. (Thanks, Alice!) - The #[kunit_tests()] macro now preserves span information, so errors can be better reported. (Thanks, Boqun!) - The example tests have been updated to no longer use assert_eq!() with a constant bool argument (which triggered a clippy warning now we have the span info). Changes since v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20241029092422.2884505-1-davidgow@g… - Include missing rust/macros/kunit.rs file from v2. (Thanks Boqun!) - The kunit_unsafe_test_suite!() macro will truncate the name of the suite if it is too long. (Thanks Alice!) - The proc macro now emits an error if the suite name is too long. - We no longer needlessly use UnsafeCell<> in kunit_unsafe_test_suite!(). (Thanks Alice!) Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230720-rustbind-v1-0-c80db349e3b5@google.com… - Rebase on top of the latest rust-next (commit 718c4069896c) - Make kunit_case a const fn, rather than a macro (Thanks Boqun) - As a result, the null terminator is now created with kernel::kunit::kunit_case_null() - Use the C kunit_get_current_test() function to implement in_kunit_test(), rather than re-implementing it (less efficiently) ourselves. Changes since the GitHub PR: - Rebased on top of kselftest/kunit - Add const_mut_refs feature This may conflict with https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503090708.2524310-6-nmi@metaspace.dk/ - Add rust/macros/kunit.rs to the KUnit MAINTAINERS entry --- José Expósito (3): rust: kunit: add KUnit case and suite macros rust: macros: add macro to easily run KUnit tests rust: kunit: allow to know if we are in a test MAINTAINERS | 1 + rust/kernel/kunit.rs | 194 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rust/kernel/lib.rs | 1 + rust/macros/kunit.rs | 168 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ rust/macros/lib.rs | 29 +++++++ 5 files changed, 393 insertions(+) create mode 100644 rust/macros/kunit.rs -- 2.47.0.199.ga7371fff76-goog

[PATCH net-next v8 0/6] Suspend IRQs during application busy periods

by Joe Damato

Greetings: Welcome to v8, see changelog below. This revision is a quick follow-up to v7 and only drops the unneeded exports in patch 2. No other changes. This series introduces a new mechanism, IRQ suspension, which allows network applications using epoll to mask IRQs during periods of high traffic while also reducing tail latency (compared to existing mechanisms, see below) during periods of low traffic. In doing so, this balances CPU consumption with network processing efficiency. Martin Karsten (CC'd) and I have been collaborating on this series for several months and have appreciated the feedback from the community on our RFC [1]. We've updated the cover letter and kernel documentation in an attempt to more clearly explain how this mechanism works, how applications can use it, and how it compares to existing mechanisms in the kernel. I briefly mentioned this idea at netdev conf 2024 (for those who were there) and Martin described this idea in an earlier paper presented at Sigmetrics 2024 [2]. ~ The short explanation (TL;DR) We propose adding a new napi config parameter: irq_suspend_timeout to help balance CPU usage and network processing efficiency when using IRQ deferral and napi busy poll. If this parameter is set to a non-zero value *and* a user application has enabled preferred busy poll on a busy poll context (via the EPIOCSPARAMS ioctl introduced in commit 18e2bf0edf4d ("eventpoll: Add epoll ioctl for epoll_params")), then application calls to epoll_wait for that context will cause device IRQs and softirq processing to be suspended as long as epoll_wait successfully retrieves data from the NAPI. Each time data is retrieved, the irq_suspend_timeout is deferred. If/when network traffic subsides and epoll_wait returns no data, IRQ suspension is immediately reverted back to the existing napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout mechanism which was introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature")). The irq_suspend_timeout serves as a safety mechanism. If userland takes a long time processing data, irq_suspend_timeout will fire and restart normal NAPI processing. For a more in depth explanation, please continue reading. ~ Comparison with existing mechanisms Interrupt mitigation can be accomplished in napi software, by setting napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout, or via interrupt coalescing in the NIC. This can be quite efficient, but in both cases, a fixed timeout (or packet count) needs to be configured. However, a fixed timeout cannot effectively support both low- and high-load situations: At low load, an application typically processes a few requests and then waits to receive more input data. In this scenario, a large timeout will cause unnecessary latency. At high load, an application typically processes many requests before being ready to receive more input data. In this case, a small timeout will likely fire prematurely and trigger irq/softirq processing, which interferes with the application's execution. This causes overhead, most likely due to cache contention. While NICs attempt to provide adaptive interrupt coalescing schemes, these cannot properly take into account application-level processing. An alternative packet delivery mechanism is busy-polling, which results in perfect alignment of application processing and network polling. It delivers optimal performance (throughput and latency), but results in 100% cpu utilization and is thus inefficient for below-capacity workloads. We propose to add a new packet delivery mode that properly alternates between busy polling and interrupt-based delivery depending on busy and idle periods of the application. During a busy period, the system operates in busy-polling mode, which avoids interference. During an idle period, the system falls back to interrupt deferral, but with a small timeout to avoid excessive latencies. This delivery mode can also be viewed as an extension of basic interrupt deferral, but alternating between a small and a very large timeout. This delivery mode is efficient, because it avoids softirq execution interfering with application processing during busy periods. It can be used with blocking epoll_wait to conserve cpu cycles during idle periods. The effect of alternating between busy and idle periods is that performance (throughput and latency) is very close to full busy polling, while cpu utilization is lower and very close to interrupt mitigation. ~ Usage details IRQ suspension is introduced via a per-NAPI configuration parameter that controls the maximum time that IRQs can be suspended. Here's how it is intended to work: - The user application (or system administrator) uses the netdev-genl netlink interface to set the pre-existing napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout NAPI config parameters to enable IRQ deferral. - The user application (or system administrator) sets the proposed irq_suspend_timeout parameter via the netdev-genl netlink interface to a larger value than gro_flush_timeout to enable IRQ suspension. - The user application issues the existing epoll ioctl to set the prefer_busy_poll flag on the epoll context. - The user application then calls epoll_wait to busy poll for network events, as it normally would. - If epoll_wait returns events to userland, IRQs are suspended for the duration of irq_suspend_timeout. - If epoll_wait finds no events and the thread is about to go to sleep, IRQ handling using napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout is resumed. As long as epoll_wait is retrieving events, IRQs (and softirq processing) for the NAPI being polled remain disabled. When network traffic reduces, eventually a busy poll loop in the kernel will retrieve no data. When this occurs, regular IRQ deferral using gro_flush_timeout for the polled NAPI is re-enabled. Unless IRQ suspension is continued by subsequent calls to epoll_wait, it automatically times out after the irq_suspend_timeout timer expires. Regular deferral is also immediately re-enabled when the epoll context is destroyed. ~ Usage scenario The target scenario for IRQ suspension as packet delivery mode is a system that runs a dominant application with substantial network I/O. The target application can be configured to receive input data up to a certain batch size (via epoll_wait maxevents parameter) and this batch size determines the worst-case latency that application requests might experience. Because packet delivery is suspended during the target application's processing, the batch size also determines the worst-case latency of concurrent applications using the same RX queue(s). gro_flush_timeout should be set as small as possible, but large enough to make sure that a single request is likely not being interfered with. irq_suspend_timeout is largely a safety mechanism against misbehaving applications. It should be set large enough to cover the processing of an entire application batch, i.e., the factor between gro_flush_timeout and irq_suspend_timeout should roughly correspond to the maximum batch size that the target application would process in one go. ~ Important call out in the implementation - Enabling per epoll-context preferred busy poll will now effectively lead to a nonblocking iteration through napi_busy_loop, even when busy_poll_usecs is 0. See patch 4. ~ Benchmark configs & descriptions The changes were benchmarked with memcached [3] using the benchmarking tool mutilate [4]. To facilitate benchmarking, a small patch [5] was applied to memcached 1.6.29 to allow setting per-epoll context preferred busy poll and other settings via environment variables. Another small patch [6] was applied to libevent to enable full busy-polling. Multiple scenarios were benchmarked as described below and the scripts used for producing these results can be found on github [7] (note: all scenarios use NAPI-based traffic splitting via SO_INCOMING_ID by passing -N to memcached): - base: - no other options enabled - deferX: - set defer_hard_irqs to 100 - set gro_flush_timeout to X,000 - napibusy: - set defer_hard_irqs to 100 - set gro_flush_timeout to 200,000 - enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 64, busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true) - fullbusy: - set defer_hard_irqs to 100 - set gro_flush_timeout to 5,000,000 - enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 1000, busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true) - change memcached's nonblocking epoll_wait invocation (via libevent) to using a 1 ms timeout - suspend0: - set defer_hard_irqs to 0 - set gro_flush_timeout to 0 - set irq_suspend_timeout to 20,000,000 - enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 0, busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true) - suspendX: - set defer_hard_irqs to 100 - set gro_flush_timeout to X,000 - set irq_suspend_timeout to 20,000,000 - enable busy poll via the existing ioctl (busy_poll_usecs = 0, busy_poll_budget = 64, prefer_busy_poll = true) ~ Benchmark results Tested on: Single socket AMD EPYC 7662 64-Core Processor Hyperthreading disabled 4 NUMA Zones (NPS=4) 16 CPUs per NUMA zone (64 cores total) 2 x Dual port 100gbps Mellanox Technologies ConnectX-5 Ex EN NIC The test machine is configured such that a single interface has 8 RX queues. The queues' IRQs and memcached are pinned to CPUs that are NUMA-local to the interface which is under test. The NIC's interrupt coalescing configuration is left at boot-time defaults. Results: Results are shown below. The mechanism added by this series is represented by the 'suspend' cases. Data presented shows a summary over nearly 10 runs of each test case [8] using the scripts on github [7]. For latency, the median is shown. For throughput and CPU utilization, the average is shown. The results also include cycles-per-query (cpq) and instruction-per-query (ipq) metrics, following the methodology proposed in [2], to augment the CPU utilization numbers, which could be skewed due to frequency scaling. We find that this does not appear to be the case as CPU utilization and low-level metrics show similar trends. These results were captured using the scripts on github [7] to illustrate how this approach compares with other pre-existing mechanisms. This data is not to be interpreted as scientific data captured in a fully isolated lab setting, but instead as best effort, illustrative information comparing and contrasting tradeoffs. The absolute QPS results shift between submissions, but the relative differences are equivalent. As patches are rebased, several factors likely influence overall performance. Compare: - Throughput (MAX) and latencies of base vs suspend. - CPU usage of napibusy and fullbusy during lower load (200K, 400K for example) vs suspend. - Latency of the defer variants vs suspend as timeout and load increases. - suspend0, which sets defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout to 0, has nearly the same performance as the base case (this is FAQ item #1). The overall takeaway is that the suspend variants provide a superior combination of high throughput, low latency, and low cpu utilization compared to all other variants. Each of the suspend variants works very well, but some fine-tuning between latency and cpu utilization is still possible by tuning the small timeout (gro_flush_timeout). Note: we've reorganized the results to make comparison among testcases with the same load easier. testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base 200K 199946 112 239 416 26 12973 11343 defer10 200K 199971 54 124 142 29 19412 17460 defer20 200K 199986 60 130 153 26 15644 14095 defer50 200K 200025 79 144 182 23 12122 11632 defer200 200K 199999 164 254 309 19 8923 9635 fullbusy 200K 199998 46 118 133 100 43658 23133 napibusy 200K 199983 100 237 277 56 24840 24716 suspend0 200K 200020 105 249 432 30 14264 11796 suspend10 200K 199950 53 123 141 32 19518 16903 suspend20 200K 200037 58 126 151 30 16426 14736 suspend50 200K 199961 73 136 177 26 13310 12633 suspend200 200K 199998 149 251 306 21 9566 10203 testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base 400K 400014 139 269 707 41 9476 9343 defer10 400K 400016 59 133 166 53 13991 12989 defer20 400K 399952 67 140 172 47 12063 11644 defer50 400K 400007 87 162 198 39 9384 9880 defer200 400K 399979 181 274 330 31 7089 8430 fullbusy 400K 399987 50 123 156 100 21827 16037 napibusy 400K 400014 76 222 272 83 18185 16529 suspend0 400K 400015 127 350 776 47 10699 9603 suspend10 400K 400023 57 129 164 54 13758 13178 suspend20 400K 400043 62 135 169 49 12071 11826 suspend50 400K 400071 76 149 186 42 10011 10301 suspend200 400K 399961 154 269 327 34 7827 8774 testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base 600K 599951 149 266 574 61 9265 8876 defer10 600K 600006 71 147 203 76 11866 10936 defer20 600K 600123 76 152 203 66 10430 10342 defer50 600K 600162 95 172 217 54 8526 9142 defer200 600K 599942 200 301 357 46 6977 8212 fullbusy 600K 599990 55 127 177 100 14551 13983 napibusy 600K 600035 63 160 250 96 13937 14140 suspend0 600K 599903 127 320 732 68 10166 8963 suspend10 600K 599908 63 137 192 69 10902 11100 suspend20 600K 599961 66 141 194 65 9976 10370 suspend50 600K 599973 80 159 204 57 8678 9381 suspend200 600K 600010 157 277 346 48 7133 8381 testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base 800K 800039 181 300 536 87 9585 8304 defer10 800K 800038 181 530 939 96 10564 8970 defer20 800K 800029 112 225 329 90 10056 8935 defer50 800K 799999 120 208 296 82 9234 8562 defer200 800K 800066 227 338 401 63 7117 8129 fullbusy 800K 800040 61 134 190 100 10913 12608 napibusy 800K 799944 64 141 214 99 10828 12588 suspend0 800K 799911 126 248 509 85 9346 8498 suspend10 800K 800006 69 143 200 83 9410 9845 suspend20 800K 800120 74 150 207 78 8786 9454 suspend50 800K 799989 87 168 224 71 7946 8833 suspend200 800K 799987 160 292 357 62 6923 8229 testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base 1000K 906879 4079 5751 6216 98 9496 7904 defer10 1000K 860849 3643 6274 6730 99 10040 8676 defer20 1000K 896063 3298 5840 6349 98 9620 8237 defer50 1000K 919782 2962 5513 5807 97 9284 7951 defer200 1000K 970941 3059 5348 5984 95 8593 7959 fullbusy 1000K 999950 70 150 207 100 8732 10777 napibusy 1000K 999996 78 154 223 100 8722 10656 suspend0 1000K 949706 2666 5770 6660 99 9071 8046 suspend10 1000K 1000024 80 160 220 92 8137 9035 suspend20 1000K 1000059 83 165 226 89 7850 8804 suspend50 1000K 999955 95 180 240 84 7411 8459 suspend200 1000K 999914 163 299 366 77 6833 8078 testcase load qps avglat 95%lat 99%lat cpu cpq ipq base MAX 1037654 4184 5453 5810 100 8411 7938 defer10 MAX 905607 4840 6151 6380 100 9639 8431 defer20 MAX 986463 4455 5594 5796 100 8848 8110 defer50 MAX 1077030 4000 5073 5299 100 8104 7920 defer200 MAX 1040728 4152 5385 5765 100 8379 7849 fullbusy MAX 1247536 3518 3935 3984 100 6998 7930 napibusy MAX 1136310 3799 7756 9964 100 7670 7877 suspend0 MAX 1057509 4132 5724 6185 100 8253 7918 suspend10 MAX 1215147 3580 3957 4041 100 7185 7944 suspend20 MAX 1216469 3576 3953 3988 100 7175 7950 suspend50 MAX 1215871 3577 3961 4075 100 7181 7949 suspend200 MAX 1216882 3556 3951 3988 100 7175 7955 ~ FAQ - Why is a new parameter needed? Does irq_suspend_timeout override gro_flush_timeout? Using the suspend mechanism causes the system to alternate between polling mode and irq-driven packet delivery. During busy periods, irq_suspend_timeout overrides gro_flush_timeout and keeps the system busy polling, but when epoll finds no events, the setting of gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs determine the next step. There are essentially three possible loops for network processing and packet delivery: 1) hardirq -> softirq -> napi poll; basic interrupt delivery 2) timer -> softirq -> napi poll; deferred irq processing 3) epoll -> busy-poll -> napi poll; busy looping Loop 2 can take control from Loop 1, if gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are set. If gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are set, Loops 2 and 3 "wrestle" with each other for control. During busy periods, irq_suspend_timeout is used as timer in Loop 2, which essentially tilts this in favour of Loop 3. If gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs are not set, Loop 3 cannot take control from Loop 1. Therefore, setting gro_flush_timeout and napi_defer_hard_irqs is the recommended usage, because otherwise setting irq_suspend_timeout might not have any discernible effect. This is shown in the results above: compare suspend0 with the base case. Note that the lack of napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout produce similar results for both, which encourages the use of napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout in addition to irq_suspend_timeout. - Can the new timeout value be threaded through the new epoll ioctl ? It is possible, but presents challenges for userspace. User applications must ensure that the file descriptors added to epoll contexts have the same NAPI ID to support busy polling. An epoll context is not permanently tied to any particular NAPI ID. So, a user application could decide to clear the file descriptors from the context and add a new set of file descriptors with a different NAPI ID to the context. Busy polling would work as expected, but the meaning of the suspend timeout becomes ambiguous because IRQs are not inherently associated with epoll contexts, but rather with the NAPI. The user program would need to reissue the ioctl to set the irq_suspend_timeout, but the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout settings would come from the NAPI's napi_config (which are set either by sysfs or by netlink). Such an interface seems awkard to use from a user perspective. Further, IRQs are related to NAPIs, which is why they are stored in the napi_config space. Putting the irq_suspend_timeout in the epoll context while other IRQ deferral mechanisms remain in the NAPI's napi_config space seems like an odd design choice. We've opted to keep all of the IRQ deferral parameters together and place the irq_suspend_timeout in napi_config. This has nice benefits for userspace: if a user app were to remove all file descriptors from an epoll context and add new file descriptors with a new NAPI ID, the correct suspend timeout for that NAPI ID would be used automatically without the user application needing to do anything (like re-issuing an ioctl, for example). All IRQ deferral related parameters are in one place and can all be set the same way: with netlink. - Can irq suspend be built by combining NIC coalescing and gro_flush_timeout ? No. The problem is that the long timeout must engage if and only if prefer-busy is active. When using NIC coalescing for the short timeout (without napi_defer_hard_irqs/gro_flush_timeout), an interrupt after an idle period will trigger softirq, which will run napi polling. At this point, prefer-busy is not active, so NIC interrupts would be re-enabled. Then it is not possible for the longer timeout to interject to switch control back to polling. In other words, only by using the software timer for the short timeout, it is possible to extend the timeout without having to reprogram the NIC timer or reach down directly and disable interrupts. Using gro_flush_timeout for the long timeout also has problems, for the same underlying reason. In the current napi implementation, gro_flush_timeout is not tied to prefer-busy. We'd either have to change that and in the process modify the existing deferral mechanism, or introduce a state variable to determine whether gro_flush_timeout is used as long timeout for irq suspend or whether it is used for its default purpose. In an earlier version, we did try something similar to the latter and made it work, but it ends up being a lot more convoluted than our current proposal. - Isn't it already possible to combine busy looping with irq deferral? Yes, in fact enabling irq deferral via napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout is a precondition for prefer_busy_poll to have an effect. If the application also uses a tight busy loop with essentially nonblocking epoll_wait (accomplished with a very short timeout parameter), this is the fullbusy case shown in the results. An application using blocking epoll_wait is shown as the napibusy case in the results. It's a hybrid approach that provides limited latency benefits compared to the base case and plain irq deferral, but not as good as fullbusy or suspend. ~ Special thanks Several people were involved in earlier stages of the development of this mechanism whom we'd like to thank: - Peter Cai (CC'd), for the initial kernel patch and his contributions to the paper. - Mohammadamin Shafie (CC'd), for testing various versions of the kernel patch and providing helpful feedback.

[PATCH] selftests/mm: Define PKEY_UNRESTRICTED for pkey_sighandler_tests

by Kevin Brodsky

Commit 6e182dc9f268 ("selftests/mm: Use generic pkey register manipulation") makes use of PKEY_UNRESTRICTED in pkey_sighandler_tests. The macro has been proposed for addition to uapi headers [1], but the patch hasn't landed yet. Define PKEY_UNRESTRICTED in pkey-helpers.h for the time being to fix the build.
